[Fixed] UMS 3.1.0 won't play Sony BRAVIA EX, 3.0.0 is fine

[dcp]

Just did a fresh windows UMS 3.1.0 install and still no luck trying to render all sorts of video files. Had the same issue with previous UMS versions.

Tried mostly MKV (H264 mp4 avc 720p/AC3) and AVI (xvid mp4/mp3), my BRAVIA simply throws "cannot reproduce media".

Everything works like a charm on PMS 1.72.0 with same settings, same media files.

Traces show something wrong, zipfile attached.

*** UPDATE: UMS 2.6.5 to 3.0.0 are working fine on Sony Bravia EX (KDL model). See thread below.***

*** UPDATE: Fixed in 3.2.0. Thanks SubJunk! ***

Same here upgraded to 3.1
On a DirectV HR24 any movie type doesn't work.
They all work on my Android.

Hi dcp, can you please try other versions like 3.0.0-a1 and 2.6.5? If you can find the last version that the files worked with, I can see what changed. Also, that's an older version of PMS you tried, does it work with the newer version? That way I can know if it was their code or our code that caused the problem

Hi SubJunk, just tried streaming to Android and it worked fine, gotta be related to the Sony BRAVIA EX renderer conf. Transcoding target formats maybe?

I'll try the prevous versions, we'll see...

[dcp]

Got it working fine in versions 2.6.5, 3.0.0-a1 and 3.0.0. Issue with Bravia EX (KDL model) shows up in 3.1.0.

I also tried to switch conf files, but no luck. 3.1.0 won't do it, must be code.

Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Thanks,
dcp

Can you please attach the debug info for 3.0.0 when playing the same file as your 3.1.0 debug info? Thanks

Hi!

i have similar problems on my Sony BRAVIA HX TV, and noticed as well that on 3.0.0 my mkv files work but not on 3.1.0. (mp4 works both)

I noticed as well that i had some wierd thinks whit the resume on both versions of these (dont remember if they were even earlier versions.. i havent used much). But when i uninstalled other version and installed new and started to watch same clip it resumed automaticly from the spot i last stopped it, oki thats fine.. but then i noticed there is nowdays the resume this file seperately when i navigate to the file, but when i try it it dont work. It can be that something silly in my end, or it just didnt like that i switched and runned same files on both version?.

Enyway, here is logs of the both versions and a bit inffo:

TV: Sony BRAVIA, model KDL-40HX755
Fresh Windows 7 installs

Hopely there is some help of these!
