Hi all,

 

Edit: I have created a document which contains screenshots of the playable media pages from manuals - these are what the app will work to

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=34188BEEC92DC33C!70258&authkey=!AAVab1PELg7uExk&ithint=folder%2cdocx

 

This morning I spend an hour and now have a separate file which controls which codecs, resolutions, bitrates... are playable without transcoding, and I have now split this down per Model of tv (well, at the moment it is D series and default, which means all others, but ideally a switch needs to be added for each series)

 

The file can be found on GitHub here:

https://github.com/ChessDragon136/MediaBrowser.SamsungUnofficial/blob/master/MediaBrowser%203/app/javascript/Gui/GuiPlayer/GuiPlayer_TranscodeParams.js

 

Basically, I need people who have E,F and H series TV's to go through the manual, find the supported formats page and add to the code. The page is usually near the back of the manual and appears as a table. Copy the code from the page to notepad and alter it in that, then just save the file and upload to me somehow. 

 

H Series Manual: - Thanks @@gbone8106 - Page 220 has the table.

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201409/20140923192212990/%5BENG-US%5DNUATSCH-1.116.pdf

 

If you can't understand the code, then let me know and I'll write a short explanation but if you're uncertain I'd prefer you help by continuing to test and report issues like you all have been :)

 

Note: Do not add support for 4k or any resolution over 1920x1080 (I'll fix 3d Resolutions later on)

 

Thanks,

I found the manual for my F7500 set; I think altering the code is all about replacing the "D" with "F" for F series case; and replacing the formats with the ones listed in the manual; if yes; then I'm on.

Don't replace, basically for each of the functions create a new case for "F" (so copy paste D, name it F, and then fill in the information)

 

So getCodec would become:

GuiPlayer_TranscodeParams.getCodec = function(codec) {
	switch (Main.getModelYear()) {
	case "D":
		switch (codec) {
		case "mpeg2video":
		case "mpeg4":
		case "h264":	
		case "wmv2":
		case "wmv3":
		case "vc1":	
			return true;
			break;
		default:
			return false;
			break;
		}
		break;
         case "F":
		switch (codec) {
                //Add Compatible Codecs Here, lower case
		case "mpeg2video":
		case "mpeg4":
		case "h264":	
		case "wmv2":
		case "wmv3":
		case "vc1":	
			return true;
			break;
		default:
			return false;
			break;
		}
		break;
	default:
		switch (codec) {
		case "mpeg2video":
		case "mpeg4":
		case "h264":	
		case "wmv2":
		case "wmv3":
		case "vc1":	
			return true;
			break;
		default:
			return false;
			break;
		}
		break;
	}
}

In case the below are the supported formats by F7500; what are the equivalent codec short names:

 

Divx 3.11 /4/5/6 MPEG4 SP/ASP H.264 BP/MP/HP Motion JPEG Microsoft MPEG-4 v3 Window Media Video v7,v8,v9 MPEG2 MPEG1 VP6 MVC VP8 H.264

Ok I believe I added almost everything for the H series; 2 questions though. Not sure how to handle the fact the MVC bit rate is 60mbps, also I know you said not to but would it be a huge problem to just go ahead and include the 4k resolution; with HEVC(h265) we should start so seem some of this videos coming out in the near future; just a thought. Chessdragon136, can you check to see if you see the proposed change I made? Also if you need a tester for a build including this I can definitely help troubleshoot playback.

Can you host the file somewhere and I can check it's right and implement it

As for the HEVC stuff, I don't believe the player I use in the app supports it so I'd prefer to test that outside the main distribution. 

 

I'll let you know when the next build goes out with these changes :)

 

Thank you!

Thank you - Just had a quick scan and it is mostly right, and i understand your previous question a bit more now

 

Bassiacally as you can see each function has a switch on the TV model, then a further switch on codec. Basically if the H series supports more codecs you simply need to add additional cases in (See MVC here) (Note: I am assuming that mediabrowser3 server calls it mvc - have no media of that type to check but the principle stands)

GuiPlayer_TranscodeParams.getCodec = function(codec) {
	switch (Main.getModelYear()) {
        case "H":
		switch (codec) {
		case "mpeg2video":
		case "mpeg4":
		case "h264":
	        case "h265":
		case "wmv2":
		case "wmv3":
		case "vc1":	
                case "mvc": //Added New Codec for H series! This case would have to be added to each function and values returned based on what the codec supports (except the audio ones) 
			return true;
			break;
		default:
			return false;
			break;
		}
		break;

Ok I see, and i was going to add that, but as I believe mvc (which is 3D) is just a variation of H264, so I was wondering if it indeed needed to be implied "mvc", or if the "h264" with the higher bitrate will just take care of it.

Add it in - Its better to have it there and not used than not there when its needed :) 

Like i say, I don't know how MB3 Server categorises it.

I honestly don't know - I just remember that when i set up my new repository i was asked whether to make it public or private. 

 

Thanks for the file - Very much appreciated.

Ok I've got it implemented in my code from your dropbox so feel free to delete it from there - I've added a comment in the file to recognise your work - Thank you

I have made it editable - Id anyone has an E series TV can you take a screenshot and add it on the relevant page please.

 

Gives an indication of the improvements made!

 

Thanks
