THX, man. I`ll give it a try tonight. Is this config already set in your PMS build ( http://code.google.com/p/pms-exsport/ ) ?

BTW Aren`t you from Czech republic?

Yes.

Yes

Well, gave it a try (fastforwarding), but still no good. Even while avoiding last two "speeds". It fastforwards for some time, then skips back to the beginning... Is there any other way of fastforwarding? Something like "Jump to xx:xx:xx"?

Jo a zdravím tě, tvůj build je pro Panasonic jednoznačně nejlepší volba ze všech media serverů, co znám.

It works for me(two different PanaTVs) when I don't use last 2 ffwd.
For feature similar to GOTO, enable Chapters in PMS and set chapter length in minutes

[mirio]

Thanks, will give it a try, again.

BTW I`m guessing, you`re using Panasonic TVs too, do you have some kind of "recomennded settings" posted somewhere? That would be so cool...

[mirio]

And one more question - how do you use "chapters" function? I can`t find it anywhere...

Hey guys trying to get PMS to work with a Bravia CX52. Using the latest subjunk build on windows 7.

PMS detects the tv as an unknown renderer, i can see files on the TV, but playback is not supported.

I assume it is an issue with the conf files but i can find anything on here about the CX series Bravias.

You assume correct. If your Bravia is detected as unknown renderer, it means none of the .conf files managed to match the incoming requests.
Looking at the "Bravia4500.conf" and "Bravia5500.conf", the TVs are detected by examining the additional headers:

Code: Select all

UserAgentAdditionalHeader=X-AV-Client-Info
UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch=(BRAVIA KDL.+5[0-9]{3})|(BRAVIA KDL.+WE5)|(BRAVIA KDL-[0-9]{2}XBR9)

The trick is to find out what header information your TV is sending and then add that tot the UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch.
To see (a lot!) more information from PMS, you can set the debug level to "TRACE" in "logback.xml". Restart PMS, connect your TV and scan the trace logs for "X-AV-Client-Info" to find the information you need.

I am using PMS with LG Smart TV LW5500. I have created a renderer profile for it. But there is one problem - I cant get it to stream MKV files without transcoding if those mkv files contain embedded subtitles. All MKV files without subtitles and with supported video/audio streams are streaming correctly as MKV stream (no transcoding and no remuxing as TV natively supports MKV). I am trying to do this using MediaInfo=true and not StreamExtensions=mkv because TV does not support DTS. Any ideas?

Transcoding is always used when subtitles are used
