Sony MP & High Bit Rate files

Patters,

Back on Mar 15, 2011 your post: [Readme] Sony Bluray Disc/Network Media Players, you stated that

Sony BD Player/SMP device profile evolution and design decisions ...

- To fix the problems above, and to make Serviio as usable as possible for most people out of the box, all Matroska content is remuxed by default to MPEG transport stream (M2TS) with extremely low overhead even on NAS devices. High bitrate files (e.g. 30Mbps) play fine. Seeking works, but do wait a few minutes before trying to FFwd too far into a file as you'll be trying to play through faster than it has been remuxed.

IF I am understanding what you wrote correctly, I am experiencing stutter problems with files that are above 20Mbps.

My system is as follows:

Sony MP-N100

PC with Serviio 6.1
Intel dual core (actual not HT)
8GB RAM

Wi-fi : n-150 Mbps (as if it ever reaches that in the real world)

The file would load without any problem initially and plays fine. However, after a few minutes, the video file would start stuttering.
If I pause the video (on the Sony MP) for a few seconds, and then restart, the video would play fine for a few seconds and start stuttering again.

The same file would also have the same problem when I play it on my PS3 that is connected to the PC via LAN hub.

Is it my PC that is not fast enough to perform the Remuxing ?

Thanks in advance...

Yes could be your PC...
Could you pause the video for more than 5mn, then restart, if video would play fine, this is your PC that transcoded to slow.

Illico,

I have not tried pausing it for more than 30 secs at a time. But I will try as you suggested and see what happens.

Thanks

Illico,

I tried as you suggested - pausing play for 5 minutes once the stuttering started.

Unfortunately, after about 10 secs, the video started stuttering. The video was at 16.8 Mbps rate.

Any other suggestion?

Thanks,
