Video appears to be fixed in 2185

I am going to post a MM5-WMP debug log when it is ready.

I have noticed that it takes 3 minutes for mm5 to display the wmp server and an additional number of minutes to display mm library.

Eventually after failing to display the video a "send message box comes up. Then the sending bug report appears. but failes and I have to kill MM5

sorry to be a bummer ...
I have tried mm4 on desktop against WMP on server and am getting the same results. Though the same file (i have tried multiple files) plays fine when going MM4 to MM4 server.
I have posted a new file MM4-WMP failure to support ticket #POB-982-93684
Let me know if there is anything else I can do

Hi,
Not the results I expected

If MM5 fail to play files from WMP shared library can you please create LOG file and open support Ticket. can you also confirm that MM4 also have same problems playing files from WMP?

If i serve with WMP then WMP on the desktop plays well. MM5 on the desktop with new beta lets me select the file but says it cant play the file .. do i want to search for codec? Then it takes me to the Quicktime codec. Which didn't work. So there was an improvement in the new beta but still not working .. WMP or MM4 server

Hi,
If you have time try with WMP and few others, even it is possible that we have found the cause of the problem.

No I haven't. It is the only sw I have setup on that box

Hi,
Thank you added as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=15750

Have you tried any other Video DLNA Server?

I have opened a ticket with debugview log so you can see what is happening

Hi Pavle .. that is the exact sequence.
I restarted the *server* and the client .. rebooted etc and same results

Edited: Music plays across dlna just fine

Hi,
I tried and could not replicate, but if I got this correctly steps are these:
1. Open MM5
2. Access DLNA on MM4 on Other PC
3. Play some video File (Mp4, MKV,... ?) Fail
4. Close MM5 -> Crash log

Having problems playing any video from MM4 server (current beta) to my local desktop mm5 (2181). I go through the menu of dlna options and get to series then select an episode but no video happens. It appears in Now Playing but never starts. I tried with bluray player and mma and both of those show the files i select.
I tried then to exit mm5 and got an error with id 46CB422C.

Edited: works on MM4 on same desktop
