DLNA
- minidlna - best DLNA server, evar! :D
Note: Right now, all of this is specific to my Sony Blu-ray players that have DLNA support. See file formats supported by Sony.
What works
- MP4: baseline, medium, high profile; levels 3.1+; title tag
- MKV: baseline, medium, high profile; levels 3.1+; VOBSUB, closed captioning, AC3 audio, chapters
- Resume playback on titles, during same power session
- On MP4 and MKV, Sony Blu-ray players will drop the extension, so you can have some kind of a naming scheme.
What doesn't work
Note: This is actually my Sony BDP client that doesn't do this, not minidlna
- MKV: title tags :(
- Resume playback on titles (after power-cycle) :(
Matroska title tags
Note: This is actually my Sony BDP client that doesn't do this, not minidlna
I tried tagging the title in these places:
- Movie name
- Title tag
- Track name
Tried using mmg and mkvpropedit to set the tags. None of them worked, sadly. :(
MP4 worked natively.
minidlna hacking to do
- Store more details in SQLite database – number of times played, which media device is requesting, etc.
- Figure out how resume-playback works – I'm guessing that the DLNA server makes a request for a starting point
