MP4 just stop playing.

[Sitman]

Hi all,

I have a problem where MP4 files just stop streaming to my TV after some time. Maybe 45 mins or an hour. It only happens with MP4s. AVIs can stream forever.

Now this has happened on Windows 7 and 8. I have nothing special. 64 bit OS. 32bit Java, Tried UMS 2.x and and currently running 3.0 a6.

I've stopped OS sleeping. Created a power scheme to never turn off anything. Tried playing from the # sub folders with different engines. My wireless router is fine.

I can convert an MP4 to AVI and it plays in full. I've raised my memory for java to be 1536mb and that makes no difference.

There are no errors I can see.3

What is it about MP4s!!!

Attached as requested. Sorry I missed them off the original. These are after the MP4 stopped playing.

Can anyone see any reason MP4s stop playing?

So is your TV... a Samsung TV?

and is it showing up in UMS as:

Matched media renderer "Samsung WiseLink" based on address /192.168.1.102

If so i think that might be why, youll have to find out what your user-agent of your TV is, and create a new CONF for your TV model number. You can use the Samsung CONF's that Optimus Made or maybe he can assist you =)

Ok, what kind of Device (Samsung) are you using. MP4's work ok on my TV but yours maybe different.

Hi guys and thanks for your help.

My TV is a Samsung PS50B650 Plasma. It is detected by UMS on the status tab as a Samsung WiseLink even when Default Renderer is set to Unknown renderer.

The TV is set to factory default except the brightness / back light / contrast etc.

I'll search for your config in the mean time.

Thanks again.

Well if it's being recognizing it as a wiselink then that can't be helped. The renderer profile for wiselink isn't very good and can't play most things. But you should be able to transcode into a format the tv see's. I'll have a look at the config for Wiselink and see what i can do
