MKV Transcoding - Samsung Allshare Issue
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2013 10:15 am
Hi folks,
I've had massive, MASSIVE frustrations with getting transcoding to work on this tv. 1080p MKV files are working perfectly to stream from my ubuntu 12.04 server, but once I try to transcode that same file with some subtitles, I only get a blank screen and after ~20 sec a message that says (translated) something to the effect of "sorry, this file is not currenly supported". Seemingly no problems in the UMS Log - just says the file starts playing and stops playing.
Sounds like there is something in the transcoding format that throws Allshare for a loop.
Any tips?
Oh, by the way; Plex works with transcoding, but has piss poor subtitle support, which is why I was drawn to UMS.
(As far as Samsung goes I will not buy another product from them because of these ridicolous DLNA incompatibilities and lack of effort.)
