Hi All,
I also have a problem with ff/rew function on my Samsung BD-D5500. I have been searching through these forums for a number of days and have tried various solutions with little success. I have made MKV files with various versions of MKVMerge including the clusters in meta seek recommendation. I have also tried generic DLNA profile but this does not work
Recently i tried playing the files with transcoding switched off and amazingly some of them worked. The problem is that I need transcoding to play files to my other DLNA device, a Panasonic VT20 TV. Maybe there is something in the Samsung D profile that could be changed to fix the problem, but I wouldn't know where to start.
Below is a list of files and how they play on the Samsung
Transcoding on/ Samsung D series Profile
vob-----no ff/rew funcion
mp4-----ff/rew funcion works
vob inside mkv-----no ff/rew funcion
Transcoding off/ Samsung D series Profile
vob-----no ff/rew funcion
mp4-----ff/rew funcion works
vob inside mkv-----ff/rew funcion works
The only format that works on the Samsung with transcoding on is mp4 but when played on Panasonic the image of letterbox films are stretched vertically and the ff/rew function does not work properly. I am really keen to get vob or vob inside mkv files to work on the Samsung as they have the best picture quality and they both work perfectly on the Panasonic with transcoding on. I am happy to post a log but am unsure what part to post
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
