[Solved] Movies won't play anymore after upgrade to 9.5.0

Post by retosch »

Hi

After upgrade from 9.4.3 to 9.5.0 transcoding no longer works. According to the attached debug.log-file the following occurs:
- DEBUG 2020-05-31 11:23:40.706 [HTTPv2 Request Worker 12] Reading TranscodeFastStart: true (default: false)
- DEBUG 2020-05-31 11:23:40.722 [HTTPv2 Request Worker 12] Caught exception: null

With 9.4.3 it still works.

On the TV-side ...
- I can see the file but after starting the movie the following error message pops up: can't read/find the file
- going to the # Transcode # folder I can start the movie by choosing "play without transcoding".

Any ideas what wrong?

Thanks retosch, based on your logs I have identified where the problem is and it will be worked on. If you want a temporary fix, it might work to remove "KeepAspectRatio" from your renderer config. You can do that by changing the contents of "renderers/Philips-PFL.conf" to the following:

Code: Select all

RendererName = Philips TV
RendererIcon = philips-pfl.png

# ============================================================================
# This renderer has sent the following string/s:
#
# HTTP User-Agent: Windows2000/0.0 UPnP/1.0 PhilipsIntelSDK/1.4 DLNADOC/1.50
# ============================================================================
#

UserAgentSearch = PhilipsIntelSDK/1.4|Streamium/1.0
UpnpDetailsSearch = Philips TV

TranscodeAudio = WAV
MimeTypesChanges = audio/x-m4a = audio/mp4
TranscodeExtensions = m2ts
MaxVideoBitrateMbps = 75
ShowDVDTitleDuration = true
CreateDLNATreeFaster = true
TranscodeFastStart = true
HalveBitrate = true
MediaInfo = true

# Our Philips PFL-specific notes:
# DTS is not supported.
# MPEG-TS with H.264 is not supported.

# WMA audio is only supported within a WMA or WMV container.
# LPCM audio is only supported with MPEG-2, AIFF or WAV.

In case it helps to know, it also works by replacing true with false instead of removing the line: KeepAspectRatio = false.

Yes, sure. I meanwhile tested 9.6.1 which still has the same behaviour as 9.5.0.
