bertbert72 14 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Bit of a strange one. Since the latest release, I've had issues with playing some files to my Samsung D series TV. I still have a server sitting at 3.0.5211.41935 which is playing them fine with no transcoding needed. The message on the TV is "Not Supported File Format". It also displays the file as having an "x-mkv" extension. On the old version of the server it comes up as "x-msvideo" despite it actually being an MKV. The details for one of the problem files are: Video Codec: H264 Profile: High Level: 41 Resolution: 1280x696 Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 Interlaced: No Framerate: 23.97602 Bitrate: 3256 kbps Audio Language: eng Codec: AC3 Layout: 5.1 Bitrate: 384 kbps Sample Rate: 48000 khz Default: Yes not-working.txt working.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbnwa 49 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I have some files that play just fine as well while others will just sit and spin when using Play To I can post logs if that would help or if this is fixed in the dev build I can update and report back?

mbnwa 49 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 This is still the case on my LG however if I remove m4v from the profile and allow MB3 to transcode it works but play direct does not work on some movies not all I.E Frozen 2D will not play but Frozen 3D will play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbert72 14 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Still not working on 3.0.5239.18766. I've attached the logs. If there is anything else I can check, let me know. notworking2.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbert72 14 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Still not working in latest dev. However I can work around the problem by renaming the files as .mp4. The TV then plays them fine without any transcoding. I've narrowed it down to the changes on 23rd April (specifically https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/commit/17422fd789cd1e89e380d0cd754d59832b698982). Unfortunately those were pretty widespread changes to how DLNA hangs together so not too easy to unpick to see where it all went wrong. I patched it with the FlagsTostring change from 3rd May but it didn't help, although I do see that the flags are back to the original 0150.... I've tried forcing the MIME type to mp4 via the profile and although the TV displays "mp4" onscreen it doesn't play. I'm leaning towards this being a quick of the TV, but the only thing is, how did it work before? Anyway, if anybody else is having the same problem, try renaming the files and see if that works.

ColtB45 2 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I too am having the same problem with my Samsung D series TV (Model LN46D550). MKV files, the majority of my library, haven't worked since April. Is there any way I can get old versions to re-install it?

Luke 37095 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'd be glad to. What would be of assistance? well if you have a dlna server that works, you might try using fiddler or wireshark and comparing responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtB45 2 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Here is a Wireshark cap showing it failing with MediaBrowser v3.0.5238.39498. I'll see if I cant find a DLNA player that will play x264 MKVs without transcoding.It would be easiest to compare with a previously functional version of MediaBrowser but as I understand it the only way is to do that would be to download said version from git and build it myself.

Luke 37095 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 well i think you want an alternate dlna server to pair with the tv, right? you could install servioo real quick and just point it to a test folder containing that mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtB45 2 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Well, of course it works with Serviio. There is a lot different between the two, for starters I am using MediaBrowser to play to the TV and I have to browse on the TV directly with Serviio. Attached is the success Serviio capture. What I noticed right off is that MediaBrowser get has a bunch of trailing semicolons. http://10.1.1.2:8096/mediabrowser/videos/e8fb81139dbc898f335fc1aadc3d0102/stream.mkv?Params=a96d47acf3c448894bc736e764f7bc63;uuid:ad5e0acf-48aa-2002-c108-81f7560003b5;e8fb81139dbc898f335fc1aadc3d0102;true;;;;;;;;;;;0; While Serviio does not. In fact the Serviio request is VERY simple. http://10.1.1.2:8895/resource/1055/MEDIA_ITEM/MATROSKA-0/ORIGINAL What did MediaBrowser DLNA requests look like in early April before the DLNA changes?

Luke 37095 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 the reason they worked back then is because the dlna features we had were tailored to specific use cases (just as a starting point), and samsung devices got the lion's share of our testing. now they've expanded significantly to support other features, so it's really an apples to oranges comparison. chances are it's an issue of response headers, or didl data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtB45 2 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This works to retrieve the correct video in VLC. http://10.1.1.2:8096/mediabrowser/videos/e8fb81139dbc898f335fc1aadc3d0102/stream.mkv Is anyone aware of a simple way I could make the TV request just the above without any of the extra parameters at the end of the URL? Maybe an app that would connect to the DMR and tell it to request the URL I specify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 i think this servioo comparison will be fine, assuming you have wiresharks of both us and them transmitting the same mkv. i'm looking at those logs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37095 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 are you able to use the dlna server to browse to the file and play on the samsung? if so, can you do a wireshark of that? thanks,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
