Changing:

Code: Select all

Supported = f:avi|divx   v:divx|mp4   a:ac3|lpcm|mpa|mp3   m:video/mpeg

To:

Code: Select all

Supported = f:avi|divx   v:divx|mp4   a:ac3|lpcm|mpa|mp3   m:video/mp4

Might have helped....

I do know that Twonky marks all the files as "AVI", whereas UMS marks the same files as mpeg, so is there a way to force mpeg,mp4,m2ts,mkv to transcode as avi?

[Ranger187]

Mental note:

AVI's play if they are xvid. If they are .avi's that are divx it fails.

=======================================================

How would I go about forcing UMS to transcode .avi's that have divx in the media info as an avi instead? (mpeg)....

[Ranger187]

Progress is being made..

[Ranger187]

So far, this update has alleviated almost all my issues. We are still working on it on the PMS site (oddly I'm getting more support there!)....

All that was changed was the avi and mp4 lines. I bolded it. NOTHING IN UMS thus far needs changed.

Here's my conf for SonyBluray.conf

Updated the first post. This solves the Sony BDP-S590 issues.

[SubJunk]

Thanks for this, I'll update it in the next release

[tmeader]

This is very close to correct, but there's still issues with AVI files with this config. It's needlessly transcoding them into MP4 when they are XVID (and the 590's can natively play xvid fine as long as the MIME is set to "video/x-divx").

I previously mentioned this in one of the release notes threads, but I guess it was totally overlooked.

Anyhow, the correct line for AVI should be:

Supported = f:avi|divx v:divx|mp4 a:ac3|lpcm|mpa|mp3 m:video/x-divx

Thanks.

[SubJunk]

tmeader, if you look at the renderer config included in 2.6.1 you will see your suggestion there at the bottom, it is commented out because it causes incompatibility issues on some Sony BDPs. The options we have included are to my knowledge the best way to make it work on all Sony BDPs.

My apologies, don't know how I missed that

Thanks.
