I will try later but I am now using the old firware now... so I do not know if the sample is showing the problems or not...

Don't you think that cutting the movie must be done WITHOUT updating the movie header? So the sample should have the original header. So any "movie tools" could be unwanted for this purpose... I think...

What about brutally canceling FTP transfer after the first 50MB passes? To have any small chance of reproducing the navigation 10%,20%,30%... issue the sample MUST be at least LONGER more then 10% of the original movie... and without any header changes. I doubt if it can fit to 50MB limit...

Boilsoft Video Splitter direct stream cut (no encode) option doesn't support m2ts. It wants me to re-encode via encode mode and direct stream cut mode is greyed out.

I will try to find another program and provide a link when done.

DGSPLIT (free on the Doom9 forum) should do what you need.

Just make sure to upload the first chunk it creates (as that will be untouched and as per the original file).

Cheers,

This is weird...

Used DGSPLIT, took the first 50MB chunk and loaded it onto the C-200's internal HDD to check the runtime and navigating functions.

Runtime showed correctly. All percent buttons worked. 30 second jump worked. I hammered this file back and forth: percents, 30sec jump, FF & RW and the PCH did not kick me back to the start or the file list one time.



The splitting program didn't change the encode. Could it be the larger file size of the original coming into play?

Please try producing the sample by using FTP and cancelling connection during the copy process... the data that was trensfered should remain...

I wonder if you get the same result?

[Martien]

I "Multi-uploaded" a file (part of a sitcom episode) that brings me back to the GUI if "3" button is pressed. It is under 50 mByte.
I would like to know:
Is it only me?
What is so wrong with it. I used videoredo to do the editing.
Same behaviour on some "untouched" m2ts (downloads) and ts (dreambox) files.

filename is 3rd Rock_p6.mpg
and the download url is http://www.multiupload.com/X6XLM3AS69

All episodes are affected. They are 20 minutes long.
All FW's after aug 2010 gives me this behaviour.

Please test and reply

Hi all,

I have a problem. My Blu-ray is not working with the new firmware , but it had not worked with the earlier version. I have an "Alice in wonderland" BD disc. This frozen down at the menu under the C-200 trying to load it.

Kind regards,
Szabolcs

BTW as I mentioned earlier as well even I have issues with M2TS files. Mine are all generated by Canon HD Camcorder (Vixia HF11). The files are lying at my DLINK 323 NAS and I use SMB streaming. The problem is when I navigate to a folder and hit on play, after playing all the files in the folder it just hangs. But if I hit OK and play each one, one by one it works fine. If you want sample file and media info etc. to help debug this problem, let me know, I can provide all the info needed.
This is a consistent repro on all folders in my NAS. Currently haven't tried this across by copying the files to the local HDD, having less number of files and few other variations. Would play around more and can report by end of this week. This issue was not present in firmware before the previous (which contained the new Sigma sdk) one.

Just tried it and got the same result as I did with DGSPLIT. All navigating and percent buttons worked and it did not kick me back to the beginning of the movie or file screen.

Unless anyone else has any ideas, it looks like the original 4GB file needs to be tested. It's not just one file but every m2ts of mine that I randomly test has the navigation and runtime issues. Why cutting a chunk of these files provides different results is beyond me

As other users mentioned, these issues arose with the firmware releases that came after the new SDK. Looks like this is something at the engineering level. I'm not going to modify all my existing files to accommodate the C-200 when three other media players play them fine. Also add to it the handshake issues I'm having now with the new firmware on both set-ups (LCD only a few months old) and I just don't know what to do at this point. Maybe take the loss and replace the C-200s with a different player since I spend more time fiddling with the C-200s then I do watching them.

I can give you an ftp address if you want to upload the 4gb file its better then us having nothing lol.

It sounds like you can take mostly any re-encode and remux it with TSMUXER to see the issues.

Parameters should be investigated I guess (specific X264 version, specific encoding parameter etc etc).

Cheers,

hello i am having problem playing aliens anthology bluray ripped with the latest firmware.This thing with bluray ripped movies it has become a big problem for me.Can it be fixed or not.thanks

Sure. It will take a while though considering my 1Mb upload speed. I will upload it as soon as you forward me the link.

Not sure your post was directed at me but I've downloaded tsMuxer and processed the file in question.

I didn't change any settings...just selected .m2ts muxing as the output. Results are the same as the original file: wrong runtime and navigation issues.
Meta data:
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --vbr --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "C:\The Hangover.m2ts", fps=23.976, insertSEI, contSPS, track=4113
A_AC3, "C:\The Hangover.m2ts", track=4352, lang=eng

File size stayed the same at 3.99GB


After changing the option to .ts muxing everything worked (runtime correct and navigated properly)
Meta data:
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --vbr --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "C:\The Hangover.m2ts", fps=23.976, insertSEI, contSPS, track=4113
A_AC3, "C:\The Hangover.m2ts", track=4352, lang=eng

The file size is smaller at 3.91GB compared to original 3.99GB.


I don't want to have to do this for each one of my files. I have a backup NAS as well and I'd have to re-transfer everything after re-encoding. Then I'd have to rescan everything with Ember MM and UMC since the file extension would be changed.

The fellas here will need as much information as possible. What's your PCH settings? Is the bluray a ISO of BDMV? What is the actual issue you are having (video/audio/menus?)

2. Im not sure dont use a bdrom
3. There is no web interface app per say. Whoever if you have an internal drive you can download csi to your computer and install a QT browser on the c200. Its a user made app its a little buggy still.

Thanks for replying.

1. I get stuttering after I use fast forward.
2. If I rip my BDs to ISO would they playback normally on C-200? Would I be able to use BD-Live and other BD features from ISO images?
3. Not too fussed about a browser. Would be nice, however, to control my C-200 from a web browser.
