Serviio

I've noticed that AVI format files are particularly choppy regardless of their file size. Did not notice any errors in the logs. I've tried connecting the blu-ray player to an ethernet line and wireless with the same results. I have the new Sony BDP-S5100 model.

Any ideas?

Post the mediainfo for one of the files...

Sorry, I'm kind of a newbie, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by mediafile, but here's the info from the details tab (under video):

Frame width: 720
Height: 480
Data rate: 28771kbps
Total bitrate: 29795
Frame rate: 29 frames/second

Audio:
Bit rate: 1024kbps
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate: 32 khz

Thanks for the tip. Finally figured it out:

This i a very high video bitrate, not sure if this format is delivered in native format or transcoded (could you confirm, with detailed log), but you should have a good network settings for this video to be played flawlessly.

Sounds like the high bitrate over the wireless network might be one problem. I'll try to get the detailed log for the rest. Do you have any suggestions on good video conversion software?

Thanks.

What is the profile selected on console ?

if its Sony BDP 2012 profile,
You can try to add a custom profile for your DV video, by adding the following lines just before the last </Profiles> element in ../serviio/config/profiles.xml:

Yes, I have the Sony BDP 2012 profile. I'll add the line you suggested and try again. Thanks!
