Unable to view DLAN media files in Oppo BD-80

[gobble]

Greetings

I just installed MediaTomb DLNA UPnP server on my Linux Mint 15 and I verifed the mp4 files downloaded from YouTube can be viewed and played on my Androind UPnP browser.

But funnily the Oppo BD-80 lists the folder shared under DLNA on my PC and even lists and plays a single mp3 file contained in it, but not a single WMA or MP4 or .webm file is listed under the folder for me to select and play.

The files are listed in the mediatomb browser local to my pc with the correct mime type.

Whats broken here ? Is there an Oppo Limitation or Bug? I installed the last know version of firmware yesterday.

Main Version: BDP80-25-0301
Sub Version: MCU80-06-0118

Only my loader version appears to be different:

Thanks in advance for any help.

AFAIK oppo doesnt support wma. Use a software like mkvmerge convert into mkv and then check. It should work.

I fixed it by converting everything to mpeg format. I found an easy GUI convertoer that did not require me to hunt for cmdline switches and settings. Its called FF-Multi-Converter.

Thanks
