Re: No content found on my Samsung TV

I think I know what setting it was.
It was originally using

Code: Select all

SeekByTime = true
but the Q70 had

Code: Select all

SeekByTime = exclusive
From my experience with the F series Samsung does not use seek-by-time, but seek-by-byte which means that you cannot seek in a transcoded video.
I don't know if this is the same on newer models.

Setting this to exclusive was a work around for the PS3 as it can fail if using the wrong method. This if from the defaultrenderer.conf

Code: Select all

# Set to true to use the DLNA feature seek-by-time instead of the default
# seek-by-byte method.
#
# Valid values:
#
#     true:
#
#         The renderer supports seek-by-time and seek-by-byte (DLNA.ORG_OP=11).
#
#     false:
#
#         The renderer doesn't support seek-by-time, so it should
#         only use the default seek-by-byte method (DLNA.ORG_OP=01).
#
#     exclusive:
#
#         While most renderers that support seek-by-time also support
#         seek-by-byte, some (e.g. the PS3 [1] and Panasonic TVs)
#         behave unreliably if both are permitted when transcoding files.
#         This option works around this by disabling seek-by-byte for
#         transcoded files when permitting seek-by-time (DLNA.ORG_OP=10).
#
# [1] Seeking via "Go To" with the PS3 (firmware 4.31) and MEncoder works with
#     "exclusive", but hangs or crashes with "true".
If you want to test if this was the cause then you can try changing this value yourself.
