Samsung UN32H5203

[jafisher5 0]

I've been trying to get DLNA to stream to my Samsung UN32H5203 TV.

 

Most files work, except for various MKV files, I'm assuming its the encoding, but I'm not sure how to get the profile to override and transcode the file instead of a direct play to the device.

 

I've first tried all defaults from Emby, and then tried editing the Samsung DLNA profile and tried to force all MKV files to transcode but it doesnt seem to take affect.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen some posts that say to check to see that the DLNA profile is being utilized but I dont see in the logs where it indicates any specific profile.

 

From what I can gather, the Codec is H264 - MPEG 4 AVC, using AC3 audio

I've tried the stable and beta release both yield the same result.

thanks in advance for a great product and the help!

Additionally I was able to confirm that the profile for the Samsung TV is being detected.  I've noticed these errors in the log too, it seems as though the file is eligible for directplay and directstream, which I want to force to directstream.  I dont have any entries in direct play for mkv or h265 codec, but did attempt to add them to the transcode section.

It seems now that maybe transcoding is failing and crashing? I tried to play the same file over a PC and the iOS app and both transcoded ok.

[Luke 37029]

it's possible the tv just doesn't like the transcoding format. unfortunately trial and error is often the only to solve it. it might a good idea to compare tv supported formats against what is being output

[jafisher5 0]

How is the transcoding output format adjusted? I see where you can modify formats to be transcoded but am not seeing options to adjust output other than bitrate. 

[CBers 6766]

@@jafisher5 - just out of curiosity, but have you tried installing the Samsung Smart TV app?

 

See here for details: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/9869-samsung-smart-tv-app-install-instructions/

 

Some people have had issues installing the app on a H series TV, but I installed it first time on a friend's UE32H5500.

 

The app direct plays content without the need for transcoding in most cases.

 

Just a thought.

I am also having a few issues with transcoded streams not playing back on my Samsung TV.

 

Most of my media direct streams but if something needs transcoding then it fails in the same way as above.

 

Any suggestions on what to play with, I have tried different audio types aac and mp3 instead of ac3 but that did not help.

Same issue on 2104 Samsung UH8550, if anyone has figured this out, could you please post your profile?

Thanks

[Luke 37029]

did you encode with the same params that the server uses?

 

samsung often sends out a head request before it gets the media. so the first thing to identify is exactly what request is failing.

[Luke 37029]

getMediaInfo.sec=1

 

we are not currently doing anything with this header that it's sending. so before we go any further maybe that should be researched. can you find out? according to here maybe it means we might need a response header?

 

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=108933

[Luke 37029]

ok i will add that response header into the next dev build tonight. or if you run from source it's already checked in

[Della Dog 19]

Yeah I see a bunch of chatter on the web about this, one such item:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1198689&page=2&p=9188895#post9188895

and

https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/39336-dnla-with-samsung-2011-models/page-4

 

Do you add the response header?

MediaInfo.sec: SEC_Duration=2555856;

 

Here is an example in code:

https://github.com/nmaier/simpleDLNA/blob/master/server/Responses/ItemResponse.cs

 

Here are some header logs from a Sangumg TV

https://bitbucket-assetroot.s3.amazonaws.com/xnejp03/serviio/20110209/270/Samsung.txt?Signature=57NPs0NGIQZwFvHdZP1%2BgBwmWCA%3D&Expires=1433209862&AWSAccessKeyId=0EMWEFSGA12Z1HF1TZ82

Nice find, looks promising.

[Della Dog 19]

Just tested, did not help. I confirmed the header has being set, I am build form source and running in VS.

One thing I've noticed is that those files that do not play (as shown on the TV when browsing folders) have no file size displayed. Any with a file size play fine.

Don't know what that means.

Edited June 2, 2015 by Della Dog

[Luke 37029]

that probably will be device-specific as to how to obtain debug info. the next thing to look at is probably our contentFeatures response header. Although that is a very complicated one. It might be quicker to first verify that we're handling the TimeSeekRange.dlna.org=npt=0- correctly....but i think we are.

[Luke 37029]

if it doesn't show up in the samsung getprotocolinfo, then it's probably a good idea to get that response type changed for samsung. look at the sony's for examples. even if it doesn't resolve the issue, it's probably a good thing to make sure it matches up.

[Luke 37029]

here's what we're doing

 

            responseHeaders["TimeSeekRange.dlna.org"] = string.Format("npt={0}-{1}/{1}", startSeconds, runtimeSeconds);

[Luke 37029]

i am not sure. it could be the contentFeatures response header. that is often pretty tricky

[Della Dog 19]

Another observation, there's no way to turn off subtitles if an srt exists. The setting from the web browser is ignored.

[Luke 37029]

If they're embedded and it's direct playing then the tv may choose to do that

[Luke 37029]

ok, thanks. yea i'm adjusting those values to hold the codec name and not the encoder name, so the profile change shouldn't be needed. and yes, the system could be improved by having all fields in the web interface, be able to show you what profile each device was assigned to, and be able to show you the info reported by the device so that you don't need to go digging through the logs in order to create a profile. i just haven't had much help with this and those things have been getting put off in favor of other things.

[Luke 37029]

Yes, that would be great.

 

And yes- the codec is h264. The encoder that does the job is libx264. Early on we make that replacement, I changed it to not happen at all and just have the command line generation figure it out dynamically. This was a great find. It will probably resolve playback failures for other devices as well, like Sony's for example, which also tend to be picky.

[Luke 37029]

ok, i will make that default to true then for samsung.

[Xzener 729]

Never mind. Thaought I was on to something.
