Hello,

First of all i wanted to thank you guys for supporting WTV files. The streaming quality of WTV files via WMP is usually pretty poor, that is why i wanted UMS to support it.

WTV streaming works partially. The problem is that streaming/transcoding SD channels via UMS works fine. With Mencoder as well as FFMPEG. The SD channels are recorded in the WTV container, but contain a MPEG2 stream. The HD channels are also recorded in the WTV container, but these contain a H264 stream. I can confirm that SD WTV files work on all the devices i have tested these on; a PS3, a Samsung DLNA TV and both an iPad 3 and an iPhone 5 using Aceplayer. With HD WTV files, the PS3 gives an error, the TV says unsupported filetype and Aceplayer on both Apple devices just crashes or jumps back to the file list of Aceplayer. So i hope that you guys want to look into this issue and that you guys are able to resolve it.

Thank you for the time taken to look into this issue,

Regards

Known issue?

Can you provide me a link to a HD WTV file so I can test please?

Hello,

Check PM for the link to a ~1.1 gb recording. It happens randomly. Some HD recordings work but stutter a lot or have no sound. If the recording cannot be played, the PS3 usually gives an error (800288E1).

Have you received/downloaded the test file?
