Sony BDP-S370 (DLNA-compatible with new firmware M03.R.567)

[grolschie]

I have tried "StreamExtensions=AVI/MP3/M4A/JPG" to force it to stream rather than transcode. Can't stream the same files that WMP can. Pictures show up in list, but show a broken image icon when trying to open. MP3s and videos show up too, but error when trying to play them. I have also tried "SeekByTime=false".

I have looked at the debug.log, but I am not sure what to look for. There doesn't seem to be any error messages at the server side.

Ok, here's my effort. Since this player doesn't announce its model number I guess the DLNA client will be the same for all the BDP-Sx70 series. However, we want to be more specific in matching than just the string "UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50" which other devices may use.

I also went through the specs and built an appropriate mediainfo=true config:

The DivX files are listed correctly but won't play, and I notice that no thumbnails are displayed. I have tried various permutations of options but I have given up testing video for the time being and decided to concentrate on JPEG images since there are fewer variables. I have compared a working JPEG request on my Bravia 5500 with a failing request on the BDP-S370. It looks to my untrained eye that the client is only requesting 16bytes of the file. This also fits with this blog post of a guy who looked at what an LG bluray player's DLNA client was doing (http://demmer.ipax.at/blog/lg-bd390/):

I don’t know much about UPnP, but this process is rather ridiculous at times, eg in the following the player just requests the first 16 bytes, where it expects to find information about the media type... After that first few requests for media type and AVI index (which is at the end of the file btw) the player requests in packages of 256kb. With my sample file that results in around 20 HTTP GETs per second... The streaming plugin’s HTTP server ignores the Range parameter and answers with a HTTP 200 and begins streaming video unlimited. After about 5 seconds the player resets the TCP connection and shuts down.

With videos I see the same chunk request, then failure, although 1024 bytes are requested rather than 16. Here are the JPEG examples...

So, is the problem perhaps that PS3 Media Server is not expecting the DLNA client to request a small chunk in this way? I have read that Wild Media Server has a setting called "Chunked Transfer Mode" (http://www.wildmediaserver.com/forum/vi ... 29&start=0). Perhaps this is mandatory for Sony BDP players.

However, this thread states that the chunk size must be set to zero to be compliant with DLNA:
https://forums.codegear.com/thread.jspa ... 9&tstart=0

The industry association DLNA.ORG has defined a streaming mechanism over HTTP in which no Content-Length header is provided. (Indeed a Content-Length header must not be provided). The mechanism is similar to the Chunked transfer mode, (except that the data is just sent as a stream of data without any intervening end-of-chunk markers). And when the full music file has been streamed, the server closes the connection.

I have attached a Wireshark capture so that someone who doesn't have one of these bluray players might be able to fix the problem (removed. PM me if you need it).


Incidentally, my own Bravia 5500 config is also using the mediainfo settings, as follows:

MediaInfo=true
Supported = f:mpegps|mpegts v:mpeg2|mp4|h264 a:ac3|lpcm|aac|mpa m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:mp3 m:audio/mpeg
Supported = f:wav m:audio/L16
Supported = f:jpg m:image/jpeg

I also made a device icon with transparency for inclusion in pms.jar:

Hi patters. Thanks alot for your work on this.

EDIT: Suggestion. Perhaps this thread's title could be modified to include the BDP-S470 and BDP-S570 models also? Just a thought.

[gseroul]

Hi Guys,
I have the same problem with a Sony Home-cinema BDV-F500. Maybe the thread's title could be new Sony DLNA hardware (or something like that). If someone is interestes in having wireshark capture between PS3MS and my BDV-F500 let me know and I will post some (just precise what media should I try and which PS3MS version should I used). I also can do same capture using WMP11 which is working as DLAN server (image/music and video).

[Ralph]

Hi
I have this player but only one Pc in my network "see" the brd s370 whit wmp11, I don´t Know why. wmp11 only play photo or music, with videos the player can´t recognize them.

With ps3ms all the PC recognize a new device an I can see all the folthers in BDp s370 but nothin can be played. I create a conf like patters son in new device recognize de bdp 370 but is the same story nothing can be played.

I don´t know how to create thumbnails or where put pms.jar to see

Here are some HTTP captures which may be useful in figuring out why the BDP-370 isn't showing thumbnails (it does request them):

Where put this settings?? Thanks

[Ralph]

well I do it. I rename de .jar by a .zip so I can open and add the image of bdp 370. PS3MS recognize and the image appeared in my PC.

We need sameone who can help us how to see pictures and videos because it always says corrupted file or something like that

[whistleon]

version M03.R.623 just come out... anyone already upgrade

[WorldOfHurt]

About this upgrade (07/07/2010) :
This utility upgrades the BDP-S370 / BDP-S373 firmware to version M03.R.623, and provides the following benefits:
* HDMI connectivity improvement

Nothing to see here

[patters]

One of the devs will need to look at my packet captures and investigate this chunk transfer mode. These are popular players, so hopefully that should happen soon. Until then I don't think there's anything that can be done.

[WorldOfHurt]

I've been having a play with the code, still nothing useful.

I tried sorting out the response size so that it matched the request, but that didn't fix anything.

Next I'm going to try some more in-depth tracing with wireshark, see if I can work out whats wrong with the reponse coming out of PMS.

I haven't got WMP, so I can't compare that. Has anyone got a wireshark filter of a successful DLNA rendering?
