Re: Panasonic Viera and Serviio
I'm using Panasonic Viera G/GT/...(2011...) profile. Now I can see that some movies shutters badly, don't know why. Some works ok, some does not...All of them 720p. How can I resolve that?
I have a Panasonic ST50, so I chose the profile VT/ST/… (2011), and no transcoding.
1) Well, the MKV's (720p) on my laptop play nicely on my TV (both devices are connected with LAN cable), and - when I chose 'text subtiles' from the TV menu, even the external SRT files are showing! I didn't knew this was possible with DLNA.
Anyway, so far so good, but the subtitles displayed on the screen are very SMALL. There seems to be no option to change the settings of (text) subtitles on the TV menu, so is there another way to change this?
2) As I said the 720p MKV plays fluently, however a 1080p does not. It stutters, and the TV sometimes just shows something like "Cannot read file". (Both MKV and MP4). Are there any solutions for this problem?
The subtitles that are muxed into mkv container are displayed with a larger text. Also, if you have an mkv with both embedded subtitles AND the external ones, then the latter will also be displayed with a larger font (I can't remember if you would need to first choose the embedded text and then switch to external for this to work). The text is small only when the external subtitles are the only subtitles for the movie.
I don't have many 1080p movies - only some mts files recorder with a video camera (1920x1080, progressive, 50fps, 24Mbps average video bitrate, 4 ReFrames) - and these play fine both from USB and DLNA. Check your files for the number of ReFrames (use MediaInfo). To be played nicely without transcoding, your 1080p movies should have a maximum of 4 ReFrames.
Look at this post for the possible explanation.
