Sony Bravia 5500 Series not playing MKV

[Uslackr]

guys, me and tomeko have been working on a new bravia 5500.conf file can u guys help test it, it should play everything u throw at it. the only drawback is (due to bravia 5500 being so select when it comes to h264 content) that all h264 will be transcoded.. the advantages though is with mediainfo on now it wont keep trying to stream mpeg1 which isnt supported by the tv. it will also stop giving u blank screens so u dont have to exit out of the file/dir and then go back in with h264 content. u also dont need to set any custom settings, default is fine.

Code: Select all

TranscodeExtensions=dvr-ms,dvr,mkv,dv,ty,mov,ogm,hdmov,hdm,rmv,rmvb,rm,asf,evo,asx,flv,m2v,mpe,mod,tivo,ty,tmf,ts,tp,m2p,mp4,m4v,avi,wmv,wm,divx,div,flac,mlp,fla,wma,m4a,aac,dts,mka,ape,ogg,shn,mpc,ra,mp2,wv,oma,aa3,gif,png,arw,cr2,crw,dng,raf,mrw,nef,pef,tif,tiff


Thanks for the update. I'll start using it.
FWIW, there is at least on duplicate on the TranscodedExtensions list -- 'tp'.

it ignores the transcoded list anyway since mediainfo is on..

New method isDLNATreeHack (introduced with r691) checks whether renderer supports creating DLNA tree on the fly with fake <TotalMatches> value (enabled with CreateDLNATreeFaster renderer file option). With this, browsing is faster, but it violates upnp specification and is not supported with some renderers.

tomeko are u able to get bravia 5500 browsing faster, since u have one? i dont notice any speed change.

It work faster if You have lot of files in folder (without this option PMS analyze all files in folder before send).
