[#29]

My Video collection is largely full BD backups and I use particles in JRiver Media Center extensively.  Both JRemote and Mo4Media seem to have no problem playing back video, but WhiskeyRiver freezes.

this is with version 1.0, Build 14

Hey there..  It was good timing on your part when I saw this come in.  Give build 15 a try and let me know.  We put a fix in.  Let me know.

Thanks! MPLS playback is working in build 15.  Couple other observations

 

1: Full blu-ray/UHD rips - jRemote and Mo4Media will playback the longest title (obviously will not play full menu). Can you add that support?

2: This will take some explaining:

- I started playback of a movie (full rip).  It failed and locked the UI.

- Went to try other videos, in this case "Shows" where the majority of my particles pointing to MPLS files are.

- At the bottom of the screen - either portrait or landscape, was a small strip showing the movie that failed to playback and some playback controls.

- This obscured my ability to click on a letter to jump to a section, in this case everything after "S" was covered and there was no way I could get that small strip to go away.

3: If a video only has HDR or DV Profile 5/8.1 (and I expect others), the colors are way off. I suspect this is because the player on iOS that you are using dos not support it? It would be great if the transcoding engine in Media Center would figure this one out. 100% of movie rips (full) will fallback to non-HDR so while it's a bummer no HDR at all, at least that works.

Individual video files however that do not have a non-HDR track will not render well.

4: I attempted to Airplay to an AppleTV and it would show the spinning wheel (as if loading) and controls on the AppleTV but would appear to connect/disconnect/connect in an endless cycle with no playback.

Switched over to jRemote and Mo4Media and they both worked fine. Not sure what was going on there.... I can try again with this latest build.

Sorry TheShoe... This  is a lot of info. I usually get notified but this was in the same thread so I missed it.  I will try to make sense of what problems you are having next week and get back to you if I have questions.  Thanks
