NFS Support for HD200 Standalone

[HeadHodge]

It took awhile for me to get to my HD200 and download the latest beta firmware.

I downloaded it mostly for the NFS support with my Synology NAS.

Works really great.

THANKS!!!!

The only two issues I have now is the lack of HDMI 1.3 for lossless audio passthrough and the inability to select a playlist from BD rips.

The core audio seems to work fine from the SPIDF output, so I can live without the 1.3 for now.

The BD rips play just fine about 90% of the time. But sometimes it picks up the playlist with the directors comments. I can get around it, but it's annoying having to track down the directors comments playlist to delete it before I can watch the movie.

By director comments, do you mean the audio track? While I haven't done a lot of blu-ray rips (only a half dozen or so), the only issue with director's comments is two of them, the HD200 picks the director's audio track and I just hit the Audio button until I come to the "standard" track. You may be experiencing something different though.

Yes, a little different. The directors comments are audio and visual .m2ts segments that are included in the playlist of .m2ts files to play.

For example in the movie "Bruno", there are two main playlists (as shown from ClownBd):


1) 01098.mpls, 1:48:10
[10+98+83+99+84+100+85+101+86+97+87+102+88+103+94+105+89+106+90+107 +91+108+92+109+96+110+93+111+95].m2ts
- h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
- DTS Master Audio, English, multi-channel, 48khz
- DTS, Spanish, multi-channel, 48khz
- DTS, French, multi-channel, 48khz
- AC3, English, stereo, 48khz
- AC3, English, stereo, 48khz

2) 01139.mpls, 1:21:27
[104+98+112+99+113+100+114+101+115+97+116+102+117+103+118+105+119+106 +120+107+122+108+125+109+124+110+121+111+123].m2ts
- Chapters, 20 chapters
- h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
- DTS Master Audio, English, multi-channel, 48khz
- DTS, Spanish, multi-channel, 48khz
- DTS, French, multi-channel, 48khz
- AC3, English, stereo, 48khz
- AC3, English, stereo, 48khz

The first playlist contains the directors comments and the second playlist is the movie without the directors comments. You can see that the .m2ts movie segment 104.m2ts is substituted with 10.m2ts and 112.m2ts is substituted with 83.m2ts, etc......

Because the playlist with the directors comments is 1:48:10 long and the regular movie is 1:21:27 long, SageTV is picking the longer of the two to use for BD playback.

So the only way to get SageTV to play the regular movie is to delete the playlist file "01098.mpls" in order to get SageTV to play the regular movie.

So it's a workaround that works but is a PIA, especially when your all ready to watch a movie just to find you have to mess with it to get it to play.

If there was the equivalent of an "Audio button" like you describe that was called the "Playlist button" that could be used to iterate through the movies playlists instead of the audio tracks, that would resolve the problem.
