Videos (MKV and AVI) are lagging on Panasonic TX-P50VT30E

[gabychou]

Hi there,

I've tried for a long time to read subtitles (from SRT files) with videos through DLNA on my Panasonic VT30 (connected to my computer through wifi).
I was told DLNA doesn't support it, but I've recently tried PMS and find out il seems possible!
Although I have some other issues : all the videos I am trying to read are lagging after few seconds, even AVI files, even without subtitles
I've tried to downgrade the quality of the video but nothing changes...

The fact is, traces show nothing wrong and it should works since I don't have any issue with serviio (which doesn't support srt files through DLNA )

Any idea?

[ExSport]

Post debug.log and not trace log
Yes, PanTV doesn't support subtitles via DLNA but PMS supports it. When subs are used, file is not streamed as is to TV but it is transcoded so CPU and network is heavily used.
So problem should be CPU or your WIFI. Without debug.log nobody knows more

Ok, thanks for the clear explanation!

And I can confirm : the lag comes from my computer's CPU : 100%...
I thought it was sufficient for that : it's an AMD Athlon II X2 215 2.70GHz with 3Gb RAM running Win7

So it is easy, will repeat it but it is already deeply discussed here in forum:

Code: Select all

Starting PS3 Media Server 1.40.0

Avoid using so old version. Check official latest build or eg. SB one:

• Very old MEncoder build
• PanTV can't TimeSeek so CBR bitrate is used(for Byte2TimeSeek conversion). Old versions are limited to 16Mbit/s stream what is very low for HD source so it is very CPU demanding (you have 15000).
  New PMS version already includes patch which can use higher CBRVideoBitrate= values. Install it and use eg. 60000 which will be better with CPU usage:
  https://github.com/ps3mediaserver/ps3me ... er/pull/22
• vrc_maxrate=60000 says that MaxVideoBitrateMbps=?? is used in Panasonic.conf(Renderers folder) which degrades this CBR feature. New version has it already fixed
  When CBRVideoBitrate=?? is used, bandwidth limiting is ignored in new version so MaxVideoBitrateMbps is ignored so don't use it for this purpose but CBRVideoBitrate
  It is because with CBRVideoBitrate enabled you will be able to limit bandwidth and also FF/RW will work. MaxVideoBitrateMbps limits bitrate only
• You should know what difference is between TRANSCODING(MENcoder engine) and Remuxing(tsMuxeR engine). If your CPU or network is poor and you don't need subtitles, use tsMuxeR engine which changes container only MKV->M2TS so requirements for CPU is low

I will make some modifications to Panasonic.conf file (instead of using 15000, 60000 will be much better) and will try to publish it to official version so people will know the precedence of CBR value when it is set so better to ignore "MaxVideoBitrateMbps" parameter in this case
Hope it helps

Wow... I must confess I didn't get everything you explained...
I've downloaded the version you advised, but didn't understand if I had to modify some options, in the GUI or in config files
Anyway, the result is the same : 100% CPU when reading MKV files...

Thanks again

In your installation folder, find RENDERERS folder and edit this file: Panasonic.conf
Replace here line CBRVideoBitrate=15000 with CBRVideoBitrate=60000
That CPU is used at 100% it is normal when MEncoder engine is used because video is re-encoded on the fly.
In PMS GUI there is "Transcode buffer maximum size". It is used to preencode your file to memory so your renderer is feeded in time. On the status page you can see how buffer grow or not.
If it doesn't grow, it means your CPU can't reencode your video in realtime so it will stutter on your renderer because of that.
If you don't need subtitles, you can use txMuxeR engine (for MKV) which only remuxes video(no reencoding/transcoding but it changes container only) so CPU is almost not needed.
Browse to #TRANSCODE# folder where you will see more options how to play your movie

OK, found the file, I've modified it, but it doesn't work any better (it's much worse actually, video stuck and there is no sound) :

My CPU seems ton be able to reencode the video though, buffer is used.

Too bad, since I do need the subtitles... but I've succeeded to make serviio works the way I needed, so I think I'll stay with it.

Thanks a lot
