MKV Streaming issue

Added by Cassius c over 1 year ago

Hi,

I recently updated showtime for the first time in months and now I don't seem to be able stream any MKV content to showtime anymore.

I can stream all other formats without issue, however when I select an MKV file it will try to play and go to black screen then just fail and return to the file listing.

I'm not sure if this is related to the new buffer implementation or MKV version 2 issues that have been noted, all I know is it used to work fine.

Has anyone else experienced this?

does it play for a while then go black screen and go back to the file? or straight away as you play it?

I have the same problem, the new version does not work with mkv and PSMs however if access to the previous version movies open properly.

Perform the test by wireless or wired streaming and the problem continues

showtime-with 3.1.203.g477b9 does not work

I've played lots of mkv files from my network drive through Showtime and I have to say 99% of them played fine.

I've tested a lot of the builds too. I'm currently using 3.1.212.

Is it all mkv files that won't play?

is force level 4.1 turned on? its optional now but allways active before

I've tried it with force 4.2 turned on and off with no difference.

No video ever gets loaded, it simply goes to a black screen likes its getting ready to play something and then it goes back to the directory listing. It appears to be all MKV's that I have that won't play. Keep in mind, I don't actually have a lot of MKV's with only my recent movies being in MKV.

Transfer the file to the internal does it play?

RE: MKV Streaming issue - Added by Cassius c over 1 year ago

I'm on wired ethernet.

I haven't tried transfering to internal as I don't have the space on my internal hard drive.
