I have problems playing BluRay UHD ISO files and my new Vero 4K +.
When I try to start the file through the library - it does not work
If I go over the media player and select the largest stream then comes right at the beginning of a small circle of up to 100 counts the movie continues and then I miss the sound or he jerky from the beginning.
This is my “advancedsettings.xml” …:
<advancedsettings>
<videodatabase>
<type> mysql </type>
<host> IP-Adress </host>
<port> Port Number </port>
<user> name </user>
<pass> pass </pass>
</videodatabase>
<cache>
<buffermode> 1 </buffermode>
<memorysize> 524288000 </memorysize>
<readfactor> 20 </readfactor>
</cache>
</advancedsettings>
Now my question…
Is there a way to optimize the setting so the 4K files run smoothly?
Is there a possibility that the movie starts automatically when I select him from the library? I mean there is a setting that automatically plays the movie if the menu can not be played, but I do not find this settings.
There shouldn’t be any need for buffer settings in advancedsettings.xml as they are already optimized for Vero4K.
How are you accessing your files (network share protocol)?
Are you using Ethernet or Wireless?
Have you checked with iperf3 that you get a 1G out of the connection?
If yo have a 1G throughput that all of that including buffering is not your problem but most likely an issue with Blueray ISO support
Install with sudo apt-get install iperf3 and then install on another device depending on platform (either your NAS or your PC).
But if Fritzbox shows 1G is already a good starting point than it might be just and ISO support issue.
Wasn’t there a problem with osmc opening Full Blu-ray ? I remember reading something about it a week ago or so. With Sam saying he will update something in the next update ( I’m sorry if I’m mixing something up )
Can you play a Remux and see if the problem goes away ?
Ah just noticed fzinken mentioning problems with BD iso support
@fzinken:
How can i come into the command line to enter the sudo apt-get install iperf3?
I have just considered that I have from my Vero 4K + to Fritz Box a 1G connection. From the Fritz box to the NAS, I have a powerline connection via the power grid.
In the Fritz box I get there indicated 198 / 313 Mbit/s.
Could there be a problem here too.
That’s supposedly true that V18 will support Bluray ISO. But you know that you will save lots of space if you use MakeMKV to rip the main movie, and remove un-needed languages and subs and all the extras. Best is that MakeMKV is free and since you’ve already ripped the ISOs it’s fast as it’s just a remux.
You will have to pay for MakeMKV. If you have Full BDs with protection already removed I recommend eac3to to extract the audio video and sub tracks from the Blu-ray and MKVtoolnix to mux the streams into a .mkv
But if you don’t mind paying MakeMKV is easier to use
I found another Problem.
I have also some Series mkv Files (720 or 1080p)
When i press play from the KODI library the file starts. When i will fast forward (press Up in the Remote control for 10 Minute jumps) and press play again i have Micro-stutters. With the KODI App on my VU+ SAT Reciever i had never ever such problems during fast forward.
At the moment i am very sad with my Vero 4K+ after only 2 days.
I will try tomorrow. But with my Vu+ Duo 2 SAT Receiver and installed KODI 16.x App (only 100MBit Ethernet Adapter and NFS Network connection) i had never ever such problems with the same Network.
Infos about Network…:
from vero (before Vero there was the Duo2) to Fritz Box (1G connection)
from Fritz Box to NAS (150-300 MBit connection Powerline)
