Oppo Player Shows All Files As MPEG Types

[AYColumbia]

Everything was fine through version 3.3.0. Once updated to 3.4.0 and 3.4.1, I started having this issue. For now, I reverted back to 3.3.0.

My DLNA device to play content is an Oppo BDP-103 blu-ray player. After updating to 3.4.x, all files are now listed as "mpeg" file types as opposed to their native types, i.e., MKV as MKV, AVI as AVI, etc. This causes the player not to play certain files because it thinks they're in one container, e.g., M2TS when the file is actually an MKV.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1 You need the Oppo BDP-103 I guess (or BDP-83 or BDP-93)
2 Set up UMS to:

• NOT: hide file extensions nor transcode files of type mkv,m2ts,ts,avi,mpg,mp4
• NOT show #transcode# folder
• pass DTS track as is

3 Use player to pull up server files

I set up another UMS on my other server to run 3.4.x for testing/comparison and both UMS settings are identical. Both my servers are running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I set one up with 3.4.x so I can show you (in the attached images) how the player sees the files from the two servers. The image file names have the UMS version. You can see on the one that works fine, all the file types show the proper icon/type and play all the files.

Also, you can see in the images that the file info (left side) for the same file is recognized when served from 3.3.0 but not recognized when from 3.4.x.

Note that the images attached are from the same issue that cropped back between versions 2.1.2 and 2.2.0. So the 2.1.2 image shows what 3.3.0 shows and 2.2.0 is to 3.4.x.

If I left out anything you need, please ask and I'll provide any additional information. Thank you very much.

I also have problems with my Oppo BDP-105. I have made a lot of testing with the Oppo93 render file.
What I have found is to avoid all files to be presented as mpeg, add MediaInfo=true to the render file. Also remove any file extensions from "TranscodeExtensions", i.e. iso and vob.

If you like me can't play movies with external subtitles add SupportedSubtitlesType = SUBRIP,ASS,MICRODVD
Now external subtitles will work. For some reason some movies only for about 30 minutes in to the movie.
Note, if SupportedSubtitlesType = SUBRIP,ASS,MICRODVD are added mkv files with built in subtitles will disappear when browsing in the Oppo.
But if you add an empty srt file with the same name as the movie in the same folder it will work.
Strange, but it works.
So in the OPPOBDP93.conf add:
MediaInfo=true
TranscodeExtensions=
SupportedSubtitlesType = SUBRIP,ASS,MICRODVD (only if you want external subtitles to work).

Please let me know if your Oppo behaves the same.

[AYColumbia]

Wow, thanks for posting this info. You are right on the money. I just tested the MediaInfo=true and voila! Everything's showing up properly. I didn't even know about that setting. I must have missed it when I was reading about custom renderers. Can't thank you enough. I'm going to quote your post in the UMS forum thread as I'm sure others will be helped by it as well.

Latest pics showing what I'm seeing.

These are m2ts files with AVC video and DTS-HD or DTS audio:

These all look good:

These are mixed. The one showing correctly has VC-1 video and the others have AVC video:

I also attached the custom Oppo BDP-103 renderer image that I'm using.

Here's the content of the OPPOBDP103.conf file since I couldn't attach it here:

RendererName=OPPO BDP-103
RendererIcon=OppoBDP103.png
UserAgentSearch=OPPO PLAYER
Video=true
Audio=true
Image=true
MediaInfo=true
SeekByTime=false
TranscodeVideo=MPEGPSAC3
TranscodeAudio=LPCM

MuxDTSToMpeg=true
WrapDTSIntoPCM=false
MuxLPCMToMpeg=false

[AYColumbia]

Where are we with this? Do you need a new bug created for the M2TS files issue above?

[DeFlanko]

@AYColumbia I created a PR for this to be added. #265

I just have to transfer the Image into its spot...

[AYColumbia]

Thanks a lot DeFlanko. I was actually wondering about the issue with the M2TS files with AVC video showing as MP4 icons. :) I worked with SubJunk for a while but I think he's busy with other stuff so no biggie. It's not a big issue since the files play and it's just a cosmetic thing.

[DeFlanko]

No worries. @SubJunk when you have a chance can you check out this issue? I also had an issue where i couldn't add an image to the PR. ( i need to find an easy way to do that...thats why the PNG is really a txt file right now.)

[Slanggurka]

I had similar problems as AYColombia before but with version 3.5.0 things are much better.
I still must have MediaInfo=true in the render file but I don't need "SupportedSubtitlesType = SUBRIP,ASS,MICRODVD" anymore.
I have not tested all file format but so far everything is working, inkluding external subtitles.
Except if I have external subtitles and a movie with already built in subtitles then the built in will override the external.
I think it should be the other way around.

[DeFlanko]

Subtitles should be a whole other topic not related to this.

• have you tried Hand Breaking your videos to remove the internal Subtitles?

[SubJunk]

I just committed the mediainfo=true thing so you guys don't have to do that manually anymore

So sorry to ask a novice question - where do i find the oppobdp105.conf file and what tool do i use to edit it. I encountered the same problem that my oppo 105D sees all MVK files as MPEG file and the AVR shows audio input as PCM zero, no sound at all. I thought was my new Denon problem. Desperate and tried changing wires, etc, served the web for three days and finally googled this site. Thankful and excited but i need the basics to be able to know how to apply the solution here. Hope someone can point me to the basic stuff and on one get offended. thanks. Jonghs from Singapore

[jonghs]

Just to add that my media files are stored on a Synology NAS. The Oppo 105D access the NAS and the output sent to a Denon AVR. I do not have a PC running a Universal Media Server software. Again, i hope i am not too 'off'. Is there a way to correct this problem where the file is in a commercial NAS. the same setup played perfectly before. only recently the MKV files becomes MPEG file on the Oppo.

[Nadahar]

@jonghs Do you run Universal Media Server at all? If not, none of the above is relevant for you.

[Slanggurka]

jonghs, unfortunately, in my expiries is Oppo and UMS not suited for each
other. I have tried to get it to work but never succeeded. Besides problem
with mkv turns up as mpeg there is problems with external subs.
I think there is something with the Oppo causing the problems, not UMS.
However, I run oShare media server and that works perfectly. No issues at
all. oShare is not as versatile as UMS but it works. I have tried a bunch
of media servers (such as Serviio) and the Oppo have the same problem with
all of them but oShare.

@AYColumbia @DeFlanko @SubJunk Did the latest UMS version solved this issue ?

[AYColumbia]

@Sami32 I haven't used UMS for a few months as I got a new TV that has the PLEX app built in so been using PLEX now. If I have time over the weekend, I can check the latest UMS and see how things look on the Oppo.

[Sami32]

@AYColumbia It would be nice, thank you ;-)

[SubJunk]

@AYColumbia did you get around to checking or could you?

[AYColumbia]

Sorry I never got around to checking this issue. I'll try to make time this weekend to do that. I'll need to install the latest UMS first.

[AYColumbia]

Had a chance to look at this today. Looks like the Oppo UDP-203 shows everything correctly but the BDP-103 still isn't quite there.

203 list:

103 list (shows the "night shuttle..." TS as MPEG:

This one from above is still the same on the 103 (fine on the 203):

One other thing I happen to notice is that turning on/off Show options like "Media Library" or "TRANSCODE" doesn't work right away. Refreshing the server list on either Oppo doesn't always show the current state. Turning the players off then on does then show the correct state. This snapshot is where "Media Library" option was off (unchecked) and UMS was restarted but still shows on the 103:

[SubJunk]

Thanks for these @AYColumbia
Could you please make logs for this so we can see what the difference is, and see which configs each renderer is using?

[polygirl]

Closing as TRACE logs never arrived.
