Mediabrowser playback fails

Hi,

I'm currently trying to use the new MediaBrowser functionality (evaluation).

Whilst I can connect, browse and initiate playback of a video, either the video does not play (player just continues to wait with the rotating circle), or the video plays for a couple of seconds before the player goes back to waiting.

I am trying to playback the video from the same computer as Serviio is installed on. I am using Windows 8 Release Preview.

I have attached the log file (DEBUG logging enabled). I think the relevant section is between 2012-08-29 08:42:03 and 2012-08-29 08:42:19.

Sequence of events in log file section was:
- login to mediabrowser
- navigate to the episode (HOUSE Series 6 Episode 7 - TEAMWORK)
- initiate playback
- playback started and couple of seconds later stopped

If you need any further info, let me know. I appreciate any assistance as I would like to upgrade to the PRO version if this works reliably (or maybe just if someone writes a Windows Phone App!).

Cheers,
sShnoop

The log as extracted below shows that you asked to play it, it was transcoded to flv for the player in D:\_TRANSCODE\Serviio\transcoding-temp-5994-flv_player-MEDIUM.stf, and played.

Then later you asked to play it again, and it used the existing transcode and played.

No errors are shown, which indicates the problem is with flowplayer. Have you been able to play anything with Mediaplayer?
It could be your flash version. Should be at 11. Also what browser are you using? Try it under Chrome.

I also sugggest you copy and rename that .stf file to .mpg and see if Serviio and Mediaplayer will play it as a file.

Did it play the first time or did it spin both times
