Transcoding and Connect Problem, Toshiba Regza

Post by sinotoku » Fri May 06, 2011 3:28 pm

Hi, sinotoku from Japan.

I try to connect Twonky server with Toshiba REGZA , and have problem.
REGZA recognize Twonky server , but can't works mp4/wmv etc.. file transcoding .
REGZA only understand MPEG2 , so tried to set up all files transcode to MPEG2.

For example, WMV to MPEG desc file is this.(C:\ProgramFiles\TwonkyMedia\cgi-bin\ffmpeg-wmv-mpeg.desc)

**
exec: ffmpeg -y -i $infile -target ntsc-dvd -s 720x480 -aspect 16:9 -r
29.97 -ab 128k $outfile
from=video/x-ms-wmv
to=video/mpeg
asynchronous
priority=idle
**

And,ffmpeg is properly setup described in ffmpeg.location.(C:\ProgramFiles\TwonkyMedia\cgi-bin).
In server setup ( Transcoding tab ) , only MPEG2 is checked.
IN server setup ( Media Receivers ) , choose [ Toshiba REGZA TV ].

And I think transcoding is working properly, because cache file was made
in cache directory.
(C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TwonkyMedia\db\cache)

And directly connect this cache file from REGZA, it can play.
(it mean cache file copy to other directory and set directory in Twonky
and connect this file from REGZA)
but , from REGZA MENU (Use DLNA), it can't play so I think convert is
not propely works.
( or no proper connection may be from "before convert file" between
"after convert file" )

And the Regza only handle ID:224 Video <MPEG Video format>, can't handle
ID:201(mpg2)/ID 1(AVC).
I checked these information using Media Info (FreeSoft)

And also,I checked wireshark packet.
I think "protocol info" is not good.

* one of capture info ( quote from capture packet) (this is server -> regza)
> No good:
protocolInfo="http-get:*:video/mp4:*"
>http://192.168.1.17:9000/disk/NON-DLNA/ ... 524.mp4&lt;
> No good2
protocolInfo="http-get:*:video/x-ms-wmv:DLNA.ORG_PN=WMVMED_BASE;DLNA.ORG_OP=11;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01700000000000000000000000000000">http://192.168.1.17:9000/disk/DLNA-PNWM ... 267.wmv&lt;

> Good: ( directly connect MPEG2 file )
protocolInfo="http-get:*:video/mpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=MPEG_PS_NTSC;DLNA.ORG_OP=11;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01700000000000000000000000000000">http://192.168.1.17:9000/disk/DLNA-PNMP ... 267.mpg&lt;

I think regza do not accept video/mp4:* , it must be video/mpeg:DLNA...... When mp4 and WMV files selected , I think server should return "after convert file info = MPEG2 files info" , why this connection does not work ?
(I already wrote desc file) I can't solve this problem..

<<Is there any missing configuration ? or Could you give me some suggestion?>>

My REGZA type is R1 and Z1. (both DLNA certified)
PC spec: OS is XP SP3, mem 2G , Corei7 870, 4T disk.
Townky ver 6.0.32.
No routers in my network (L2SW only)

Same Problem with a Sony Bravia.
Twonky converts the videos but the TV doesnt show the files in the navigation.
I have written a mail to the support team. I told them about the problem and now i'm waiting for an answer.

Thanks for the post.
At first, I contact support and I was told that transcoding depends upon the external transcoders so support to transcoding is limited. They are planning to give transcoding as an internal feature in future releases. So till then, I have to take help from the Forum.
So, if you take solutions , please post.

But I read Brogs in Japan that some ToshibaTV ( RE1 , Z9000) works good with Twonky Server. I did same config written in Brog. I can't understand why mine don't work...
