update to Panasonic.conf

[zzricezz]

attached is the log of me playing the same RMVB file using my Pioneer Kuro tv and it has no issues at all. So I don't think it is a UMS problem but a conf problem?

I have one Plasma 3D and one LCD non-3D Viera TVs and both supports DivX. SubJunk has PanTV and also his one supports DivX. Trust me.
You are the first one who complains about AVI (DivX/XviD) files that they are not natively supported.

attached is the log of me playing the same RMVB file using my Pioneer Kuro tv and it has no issues at all. So I don't think it is a UMS problem but a conf problem?

Only visible difference for me is that Kuro doesn't use bandwidth limiting and AspectRatio fix:

Code: Select all

MaxVideoBitrateMbps=90
CustomMencoderOptions=-vf softskip,expand=::::1:16\/9:4 

Try playing with these two lines in Panasonic.conf if it helps.
First try to change 90 to 0 and then add # before "CustomMencoderOptions=..." so it will be commented.
Don't forget, every change needs restart.

didnt work. I even tried copying all the setting from the kuro conf but still problem. looks like more of a Panasonic hardware issue now? which is odd cause there no problem transcoding divx.

[SubJunk]

About the RMVB ask SubJunk. It seems there is no good support for this format and maybe "ffmpeg_MPGMUX.exe" is outdated.
Now I see this remuxer is not used for RM files???? I found MEncoder was used only and generated some errors:

SubJunk?

Does it work if you put the attached file (unzipped) into win32/codecs?

[zzricezz]

Don't have the error message anymore but the video and audio still out of sync could it be the error in bold?

Nope that's a normal message. It's probably just that the file format is so rare, I doubt the MEncoder developers even test it.

sigh rmvb is a very popular format for asian media.

[SubJunk]

I might be wrong but in my experience rmvb files are usually provided on forums whereas mkv (better format) are in torrents and fansub blogs. Usually when I see rmvb files they are a very low filesize alternative for people who want say an 80mb file instead of the 200mb MKV

[Doxeng]

I have a very large collection of files in all formats and I had been playing with the panasonic.conf file, now I have very much every format streaming to a TC-P65ST50 Smart viera Panasonic.

Most files are natively supported by the TV set so no encoding is needed for JPEG, SD-Video, AVCHD, MP4, AVI, MKV, FLV, 3GPP, PS, TS, MPEG1, MPEG2, MP3, HE-AAC, and AC3 file

So, a bunch of things just commented out # in the .conf file, I have FFmpeg as first engine in the list for transcoding

Two issues remain with the file, when a video file audio portion is encoded to mpeg the playback has a delay of around 1.5 to 2 seconds. (it seems a lot of renderers have the same issue, however, using another media server I do have this issue

The DLNA client in the DLNA tv screen, also displays the resume files as part of the file list, so if you play partially 2 or 3 files, it creates 2 or 3 resume files in the list.

my .conf file is attached, a bit messy , very much all video formats play
