Hello guys ! I have an Sony Bravia Engine TV - KDL-40EX500. The TV has DLNA but when I try to steam a video with my One X this error Pops up - ''Sorry, this video cannot be played. (714)'' Can Somebody Please help me !!! Thanks !
I have the very same problem with my Sony Bravia TV.
Pictures play well, fast, and reactive. But when I try to play a video I get the same message you get.
Sad. But I guess that the problem is on Sony rather than HTC (I'm able to play to other devices). Maybe they do not follow completely the DLNA specification?
I will try out some different formats and resolutions becouse I have tryed only 1080p... maybe 480p .avi or .mp4 would run ?
This is what I found:
I own a Sony Bravia KDL46EX503 and have WAISTED many hours trying to find what formats the DLNA client supports.
First thing to note, there are file formats and there are video codecs BOTH are important. For example you can have an AVI file format containing video data that requires the AVC codec to play it. On a similar basic you can have an MP4 file format containing video data that requires the AVC codec to play it. However even though the Sony DLNA client can play AVC video data it does not recognise either the AVI or MP4 file format! Why? If you no the answer please tell me!
The Sony DLNA client for the KDLxxEX serries TV supports the following file formats:
MPEG-PS (.mpg or .mpeg) and must contain video data for MPEG version 2 codec.
BDAV (.mts or .m2ts) and must contain video data for the AVC codec.
Audio data must be in either MP3 or AC3 codec formats. To be certain that the audio will work you are best advised to use the AC3 format. (you can use either 2ch or 5.1ch )
Please do not waist any time with any other formats unless Sony have specifically told you that they now support them.
I have been successful at streaming both MPEG2 and AVCHD to my Sony via Twonky Media Server all other formats DO NOT work.
Given that a Sony TV that supports DLNA clients are not cheap I do find their attitude to supporting multiple file formats very arrogant. In particular I do not understand why they only support the MP4 and DIVx formats on the USB?
How difficult is it? Well my 10" Polaroid picture frame with wireless connection supports every format (except DIVx) that I have thrown at it so far. It recognises AVI, MP4, MPEG2, MPEG1, WMV all with various codecs including VIDx and AVC!
Come on Sony get with the picture (pun intended)!

Soo I think it will play MPEG... soo if we want videos we have to Convert them on the PC....
Well, the comfort of streaming from the phone was exactly to avoid sitting at the computer.
Anyway, for now I am using the following alternative:
The phone is set to autoupload on Dropbox whatever I shoot on the camera. Then I use the TV to access my pc, navigate to the Dropbox folder, and play the video (the PC does the transcoding automatically).
Everything works fine. The only thing is that one needs to switch on the pc.
You could try using Twonky Mobile https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pv.twonkyremote&hl=en
I don't have a Sony Bravia TV, but I used to have issues streaming to my Sony PS3 with some video formats. With Twonky I can stream every format that I could play via USB.
is it a 1080 recorded video you're trying to play? I found that 720 videos play fine - but the 1080 videos were actually 1920x1088 - and that extra few pixels was upsetting my TV (Samsung C6000). I logged it with HTC who raised a bug report. Other than that, haven't heard anything.
Sony DLNA

Sonia Bravia - Playing videos from an external HD
I have a Sony Bravia KLD-46EX750.
I can view and play some videos wireless from an external HD but some I cannot even see in the folder. I am trying to find out why this is. If anyone can help in anyway please post.
- All files are avi. Some I can see and some I cannot.
- I used to be able to see several folders in the videos section but I can now only see the one folder.
- At first I though maybe the Bravia could only thumbnail a certain amount of videos, so as we atched them we moved them to other folders. The list is just getting smaller.
- I cannot find any refresh selection.
I would like to know:
why I can only see one folder and
why I cannot see all videos

Check what formats the TV supports - it should report those to the software..

Sooo..it's nice and all that my phone can play MKVs with their internal subtitles at full speed.
It's also nice I can output my phone via HDMI to my TV, even with said MKVs.
What's not so nice is the subtitles remain on the phone screen only, regardless of video player used.
Is there/is it even possible to output the video and subtitles via HDMI? Curious. Less hassle to connect my phone to my TV than my bulky notebook.
the subtitles need to be on a separate file with the same file name as the video file i.e:
video.mkv
Video.srt
There can be only one subtitles file. if more than one, the player will show none.
Btw there many threats on this subject.
Try searching for "subtitles" on the S2 forum here.

I said internal MKV subtitles for a reason. Not gonna extract the subtitles every time I wanna watch something.
That being said, I missed that topic. Thanks for the link.
Shame it seems the only player that can output the subtitles to MHL, doesn't read internal subs -stock player- and the couple others that do apparently only do with software decoding. Which I'll assume won't really have the grunt behind it to play them properly.
Hello, just have a doubt here that's kind of bugging me and haven't been able to figure it out.
I bought an allshare cast dongle and discovered the painful process that it is to get it to work with a custom rom.
After a long process and different methods I finaly got it to work and I am quite happy with the device, however, I have a bunch of mkv's with subtitles and whenever I play the file through mx video player, the video looks and sounds fine on the tv but the subtitles show up in the phone.
Other than hardcoding those subs into the file before playing it, I can't come up with a solution.
I also tried rockplayer but that doesn't even play the subs at all.
Do you guys have any video player recomendations that will play both the mkv and the embeded subs in the tv through the dongle?
Thanks in advance.
try enabling hardware decoding for subtitles, it's in the MX player settings.
Hi!
Is it possible to change screen aspect ratio to 16:9 when the device is connected to a TV over HDMI cable? So far it shows at 16:10, so the borders on the right and left are visible.
Movies played over the built-in meida player would be fitted to the TV screen properly. But! here's a downside: native player supports just a few audio codecs (e.g. no support for AC3) and one can't choose language and subtitles to be displayed. So a sound option would be going with an external video player such as VLC or similar. But ... it doesn't strech
I'm using microUSB HDMI adapter.

Sorry apparently it does not work on 4.3 yet. You might able to post in the thread and get some advice though.
Sorry if this has been answered before but I searched the forum and found very little info.
I just got my AFTV and sideloaded XBMC (signed-xbmc-13.1-FireTV(v6)) on to it. I have Audio Passthrough enabled so that my MKV files with AC-3 and DTS (not DTS HD) can go directly to my receiver. What I am noticing is that the Playback of these files (Over a wired Network both devices connected to a Gigabit switch) seem to be jittery or choppy (not so much that I can not watch them). I am coming from a WD Live TV and it never had this problem. I have tried playing the files via SMB and NFS shares and both seem to show the same results. The file sizes range from 400MB to up to 10GB. I have tried both Hardware Acceleration and Software. Is this a limitation of the AFTV (Which I don't want to believe because the WD Live TV has way lower specs) or is there a certain setup I have to do in the Settings to get it to play 100% Smooth?

I experience the same with my FireTV and the Ouya. It's really noticable when the Motion Interpolation settings is ACTIVE on my LEDTV.
With the Motion Interpolation desactivated, It's harder to notice, but it's there.
Glad to see that i'm not alone noticing this.

So I am guessing it's a limitation of XBMC? Movies off of Amazon Prime play flawlessly, but I assume those aren't MKV's. I really like the box but this is a deal breaker for me. I have a huge collection of BluRay Rips in MKV format. I guess it's back to the WD Live TV.

I got flawless playback of non-DTS MKV on the Sony NSZ-GS7 I once had until replacing it with Fire TV because it got corrupted somehow.
I think Fire TV is missing proper support for a lot of essential formats.

Just to be clear, the hiccup I talk about is hard to see for a common human eye (my girlfriend doesn't notice at all). The movie plays really well,
But for a 24p on 24hz refreshrate fan, the tinny hiccup is noticable. jdawng0024, do we talk about the same thing ?

Mine is noticeable to everyone who sees it. The file plays but is Jerky. Coming from a WD Live TV the Amazon Box Plays worse. I have been reading the forums for a couple of days now and I might install an older version of XBMC. All of my files are mkv with DTS or AC-3 audio and they are all 1080p.

Might be a ''noob' question but, are you able to see your rendering stats with ''O' on the keyboard' or with your remote (keymap no.3). Is it really dc:stf-h264 that you see or dc:ff-h264 ??
I say that because I found a bug that, if I play a bunch of music video for example with party mode or not, after a while, maybe 15 or 25 clips. XBMC cannot decode the video with hardware decoding anymore. Even if libstagefright is selected in acceleration settings, the renderer clearly displays dc:ff-h264 for all my h264 video. Because of that, all videos stutters/jitters/frame drop.The only workaround I found is to reboot the FireTV with Home+Play for 5 seconds. And everythings is find until it happens again.

ive also experienced issues with xbmc properly selecting libstagefright. it happened when i was screwing around with both mediacodec and libstagefright enabled. the fix for me was to disable all acceleration, reboot the unit, enable libstagefright, reboot again, good to go ever since.
Ok think I got it a lot better. I restarted from Scratch. Every once in a while I will see it but it isn't nearly as bad. going to try to load the avancedsettings.xml and see if that smooths it out even further.
You are at a stalemate with XBMC since an OTA update reportedly fixed jittery 1080P playback AFAIK.
I found some speed enhancements throughout the weeks,but I never got around to posting them all.
Terribly sorry about forgetting to make that speed enhancement thread to those that want it,I have just been out of it lately.

Could you give more details on this OTA update?
Ended up going back to my WD Live TV. MKV playback blows the amazon fireTV out of the water. I will continue to follow its progress and hopefully it gets better. I will buy it again once things get ironed out.

Hey, just wondering if this ever got resolved. I'm also a WDTV Live user, and I was thinking about "upgrading" to a FireTV with its much snappier interface, more apps, etc. But almost ALL of my movies and TV are h264 mkvs with either DTS or AC3 sound (and some AAC/mp4s mixed in there as well).
Can the FireTV play those kinds of files flawlessly from a SMB or NFS share? It's been months since this thread was active, so I wanted to see if this is a "solved" issue nowadays. Thanks!

So just sideload XBMC (any particular version/build/etc?) and you're off to the races? No rooting, no flashing, etc?
Plays mkvs containing h264 or MPEG4, DTS or AC3, old xvid avis, etc? Will it play subtitles that aren't muxed into the mkvs (like in an srt file named the same as the mkv)?
I am also experiencing judder when playing 1080p H.264 (AC3 audio) MKV files with the fire TV.
I’ve tried XBMC and MXPlayer. I am seeing judder and frame drops with my AFTV, but can’t figure out why or how to tweak it. The same files play smoothly on my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 7 using MX Player.
Any thoughts?

im rooted but it doesnt matter for XBMC, im running gotham 13.2 , DTS DD and AC3 all work great via HDMI and optical, i would assume it will auto use a local srt file but for sure you can point it to it.. xbmc will scrape the net for any subtitles for every movie i've encountered, so it shouldnt be an issue for you. the XBMC wiki has a good section with everything you need to know about xbmc and the FTV, there are a few device specific settings you need to make and your off to the races.
Has anyone who was experiencing the DTS MKV video judder audo sync issues resolved them? I just picked up two AFTV's and can not get my DTS MKV's to work.
connection
I got AFTV a month ago and did not have an issue streaming MKV videos from my synology nas via WiFi 5GHz. after a few days i started to notice video judder and i switch from WiFi to plug in Ethernet and it made it worse. it appears that AFTV connects better with WiFi from streaming shows/movies compare to plug in Ethernet. is there specific settings i need to adjust for the Ethernet plug to work better?
