strangely enough after installing Samsung's AllShare- it worked there.

so this is really an issue of the software rather than firmware.
[i'm using 46 C650 TV]
any idea what could possibly be the reason...?

MOst likely because serviio now transcodes MKVs with level > 4.2 and with mkv header stripping. You could remove he matchers from your profile. This should be rectified in 1.1 as well.


I just reinstalled my headless Linux (Debian) server and now I can't RW/FF or time skip in my MKVs which I could earlier from my Samsung TV with these exact mkv-files. Could this be related to "header stripping" och MKV transcoding? Is MKV transcoded by default? I'm running default settings on my Serviio 1.3.1 installation. Is 1.1 referring to Servio version 1.1? In that case I guess this is not why I'm having issues.

In my installaion I built ffmpeg from source according to this guide: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide. Is there something missing in that build that is required?

Best regards, Erik

Hello,

I don't know what I have to do.

I've tried many solution in the forum like the command in "--clusters-in-meta-seek", using old versions.

But my FW/RR can't work.

I have a HT-F4500 and using the last Serviio version and Samsung TV / player E/F Series.

Someone have any idea that I can try?

Regards

Partially true. It works for most movies. It does not work for Prometheus and I have no idea why. I'm trying to fix it now.

Issue resolved !!

Hey Just fix the file with converting it!! it should take much time !!

######## Linux Command #######

ffmpeg -i from.mkv -codec copy tofile.mp4

##############################
Also you can run a cron job to conver all files from MKV to MP4 and delete the old MKV !!

The new file should be working with all forwarding options and everything.

Regards,
Nader Barakat

The .MKV needs to be muxed with the option --clusters-in-meta-seek in mkvmerge. This was turned on by default in previous versions, but is off by default now. This is required to be able to jump backwards and forwards on Samsung players.

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I've remuxed with 3.4, 4.0 and 5.0 (with compression at "none") with no difference. All play well, but none FF.

:( I have no idea yet what the problem is but it all started after the latest firmware update on my C5500. I'm going to gather a few MediaInfo reports from files that FF and those that don't. Lately more don't than do.

I'm using Samsung 65 4K Smart TV and the following is happening:
The files in the MKV extension with embedded subtitles run normally, but when I put the subtitle in Portuguese (BR) with the same name as the MKV file, it causes incompatibility in the reproduction.
Can anyone help how to resolve this situation?



aolivero wrote:Hi All,

this post only to explain why in some case fast forward and rewind doesn't work in MKV.
The problem is related to the version of mkvtoolnix (and related mkvmerge) used to create the mkv.
Basically if you create the mkv with a version 4.0 or >, the Samsung BD reader (and may be also the television) doesn't handle the mkv in the right way. If you use a previous version (e.g i used the 3.4) everything work fine.
This is not a problem related to serviio but to the samsung firmware/codec. In fact the same problem exist also when you copy the mkv to a usb drive and you try to run it direcly from the player.
So the way to fix the mkv than doesn't fast forward or rewind is:

1) Install mkvtoolnix 3.4
2) Open the mkv with this version and resave it

That's all.

Ciao.
