Sony BDP-S550

Discuss Sony Bd-Player issues with Rendr.

Still having problems with movie files, avi, mkv etc..they play for a few minutes then black screen. I then have to go back to the folder directory. My player is the Sony BDP-S550.
If you want my PS3 server log files let me know and I will email them.
Thanks
Rick

Rick,
We have reproduced the problem. It doesn't have anything to do with avi/mkv but may have to do with Sony players. The network connection is dropped in the middle of the play aborting the play. We are working on a work around for this issue and we will test playing couple of movies you tried in their entirety to make sure the fix works.

Thanks for the reply. Look forward to having the issue resolved.
Rick

We will analyze your logs and do some experiments here with the videos you are having trouble with.

First Impressions.
My system: Vista quad core running the PS3 server. My blu-ray Sony BDP-S550.
I run the PS3 server, finds my blu-ray with the rendr disc. It is attached to my Sony Bravia LCD tv. I have the green tick on the PS3 server. So far so good.

I can access my files on my server. The GUI is a liitle bit slow when accessing the folders. It runs music files well and very easily. Only a very slight lag of about 5 seconds.

When accessing folders containing movie files in avi or mkv etc formats it is a lot slower. At least 15 to 20 seconds. The movies do run for a short time of about 5 minutes before the screen blacks out. Wait about 30 seconds to a minute before the movie continues to play. There is intermittent stuttering throughout the movies. The movies are in xvid and divx format. I have also tried mkv formatted movies with similar results.

Anyway the beta works up to a point but as for watching streaming movies its not yet in a position to do that without those interruptions I mentioned.

I left the PS3 at default settings.

I also have my HTPC ( vista) connected to my Sony Bravia and use windows media centre to play my streaming music and movies and it works very well. I was hoping to remove the HTPC, to un-clutter TV room the but at this stage it will need to stay as the beta version of rendr is not quite there yet.

Anybody else got any results or tweaking that they may have done to the PS3 server that helps it run through the blu-ray, please publish them.

Thanks
Rick
