- I used handbrake to make MKV file and i got it to play on Samsung c series 5500 / 6900 players but it will not play on Sony BDP-S570
It gives the corrupt or unsupported file error. So my guess is it is in the profile? Soooooo can someone help me validate if it is in the profile or somewhere else. I am defiantly a noob and need someone to step me thru this first 'training' class to troubleshoot this. Thanks...
I get a lot of these "unsupported or corrupt" errors for my Sony BDP-S370.
Just to make sure I had tested everything, I took to always doing a
ffmpeg -i <filename.mp4> -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy -f mp4 newfilename.mp4
for any mp4 file that fails after being served by serviio.
This has invariably cleared the problem for mp4 files.
It seems the Sony players are extremely fussy about exact format compliance, and I would suggest trying something similar for mkv files.
My WD TV Live will manage to play most mp4 and mkv files that fail on the Sony S370, but in the few cases where WDTV fails too, the "recontainering" seems to help.
The problem files are files made by handbrake, files downloaded as mp4 rtmp streams, and files found in the great net void.
