Serviio

Hi all,

My BDP s470 cannot handle high bitrates, when going over 20/25 Mbps playback is stuttering.

Does anyone know if this is normal (yes, i've read the sticky) or what to do about it?

i have gigabit wired ethernet, so there is no problem with hardware (router Linksys WRT610N)
and i use Serviio 0.5.2

the video file is an MKV file , Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
Codec: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52 )

Should i enhance the profile for BDP and put in a max. bitrate or something ?
(help on this part would be appreciated)

And yes, i totally love serviio.
(I als o have Panasonic P42G20E, but the BDP handles more video files)

clearly you failed to use the search box though.

- When video bitrate is expensive (>20Mbps), the TV (could) becomes unresponsive - doesn't react on remote commands any more.

that would including the stuttering as device becoomes unstable.

i think you judged too soon. I know how to operate a searchbox

I dont use a Bravia television like the topic you replied is implying , i use a Sony BDP(blu-ray player) with serviio, connected to a panasonic television P42G20

And i n the sticky something is mentioned about high bitrates for BDP's. But it is not clear to me what can or should be done about it.
I am not a pro-user yet i guess.

oppsiee my bad grabbed the wrong readme file

Although same applys with sony BDP so use of tsmuxer to lower bitrate is required.

Eh? You can't just adjust the bitrate of a file without re-encoding it, which TSMuxer cannot do.

As for the original question, I can play a sample 1080p 30Mbps file without stuttering on my BDP-S370, on a wired connection. Are you streaming over wifi perhaps?

I also use a wired Gigabit ethernet network. (including router WRT 610N, computer and S470)
I am using the standard profile for BDP from serviio 0.5.2
And i get the stuttering when hitting above 36 Mbps.

Interesting to hear that it does work on your S370.
Then i might have a chance of fixing it.
your info makes me gonna check my hardware again.

PC --> switch --> router --> BDP

I use a router (Linksys WRT610N) and a cheap switch (sweex also gigabit) , maybe this is the culprit.
My linksys doesnot recognize the sweex as gigabit according to the led indicator... damn!


thanx for the info though

I still also have stuttering issues with some high video bitrate movies with my two Bravia TV and BDP370.
I will check tonight but I think for example with than movie introduction (first minute) : http://divxtrailers.divx.com/BigBuckBun ... PlusHD.mkv

The highest bitrate clip I have is about 30Mbps so it's quite likely you've found the limit of what the device can cope with over its LAN interface. Don't forget that it's only a 100Mbps Ethernet connection and it's unlikely to be a highly prioritised bus in the design of the system.

isnt the problem because its an MKV? high bitrates 25M+ will stutter - and the only solution is playing them as M2TS - which serviio should do automatically if you enable transcoding - sorry i couldn't see a mention if you have transcoding enabled or not.

If your video has DTS audio and you want to keep it then use TSMUXER to convert it to M2TS.

edit - sorry my bad you talk about the 470 and i have a 370 - but maybe the same applies.
