Sony Media Browser
Robinette Ith
I am trying to connect full res .CRM files to proxy files created from Davinci Resolve. Those proxies contain matched source filenames along with the source amount of audio channels, however when using the relink feature through media browser my proxy files do not pop up. I also tried connecting them manually through my file exploxer, but when I open my proxies folder, it shows no media within it. I've also tried to create proxies through Premiere but they do not load into Media Encoder.
Have you tried creating the proxies in Premiere? May be a compatability issue between proxy files created in Resolve and in Premiere. What is the extension on the Resolve created proxy files? What happens if you just drag a resolve created proxy file into premiere? if it's imcompatible, you'll usually get an error message in Premiere.
And Premiere can sometimes be picky about the audio configuration of your proxy files... Had an issue with mxf files shot on a sony camera a few years ago, where I could not get a proxy ingest format to successfullly match the camera original..
The Resolve proxy imports into Premiere no issue.. I finally found a workaround. Although my source filenames are matched to the proxy filenames, I did not have "_Proxy" added before the extension. Adding "_Proxy" allowed for the proxies to attach!
Now that that has been solved, the issue of media browser not showing my subfolders permits. I have other drives connected and can see media into them fine. E: LOVERBOY is the one I am trying to ingest from.
The proxies were able to attach by adding "_Proxy" to the end of the filenames. Finally! However I still cannot ingest from the drive containing my remaining media through Media Browser. The funnel is selected to "All Files" and eye is selected to "File Directory" and still my subfolders do not pop up.
I am trying to set up the Media Browser Server from my mac to connect with my Sony Bravia 40W605. Everything seems to work fine except for MKV files, which is surprising because the Sony is compatible with this media container.
I suspect the reason for the issue must be related with the fact that when browsing the media folder from the TV mkv files are shown to be mpeg (this is not happening using PLEX and mkv are played fine). Changing the file extension to avi and the file plays (a quick fix I want to avoid).
I had a look in to the log file and I couldn't find anything about the profile being used. I must say though that I am newbie at MBS and absolutely ignorant about programing... What I could see however is plenty of error reports that, of course, I have no clue what they mean. See the attached log.
That is correct. From what I've read from your threads, we had different problems and I don't know if what I've done will help you. My device was not recognized so I only changed the info to fit my device and left all codecs and so on as it was.
No i don't. But I don't mind it. However, in my case could be because the files I have in the server at the moment don't bring this additional data and I believe I did disable to automatically download it (or that was with Plex...).
Edit. I just checked for curiosity for the posters and the truth is that I don't even see them when I check my library with the web browser... I literally see nothing unless I move the pointer and the a tab with the file's name pops up... any suggestions?
Unless you can donate a Bravia I don't the answer to that, sorry. I just don't have the ability to test that. What we've seen a lot of with Dlna is community members step and help improve support for their devices. Hopefully someone with a Bravia who has know how will come forward and help out. What I can say is that it appears the TV doesn't like the video it's getting but without having a Bravia I am not in position to debug and get to the bottom of it.
Hey, that would be great thanks! I've wanted to get Dlna with Bravia's perfected for a while but just haven't had a device to test on. Here are some tips. I would definitely enable dlna debug logging in the server dashboard.
- We want to see if it can direct play without transcoding - the fix may very well be the dlna profile is outdated, in which case no coding changes required, just profile. Also see the profile max bitrate.
DirectStream = stream original file over http. What's happening is the sony doesn't like the transcoding format. Most likely, it doesn't like something contained in the protocolInfo value, but i'm not sure what.
i have a Sony TV model: KDL-55W900A and it has an integrated Pandora app within the TV. when accessing the app it loads on the TV and then the message" Internet browser will be closed due to internal issues" appears preventing access to the Pandora app that is playing in the background
Hi @scioto, thanks for posting to community! I've made a new post for your issue because this sounds a little different that what was happening in the previous post: Sony TV - Error Message: Internet browser will be closed due to internal issues"
First make sure your TV has the latest firmware by checking for a new update. If an update is available, try loading Pandora again once the update is complete.If you're still having the same problem, then please try a few standard network troubleshooting steps:
I would also recommend reaching out to Sony Support as well since individual manufacturers are usually responsible for the implementation of the Pandora app. They may be able to provide more detailed support steps for your Sony model.
We have always had high-speed WiFi internet and have only run the built-in Netflix and Pandora apps. Since early April 2020, the Pandora app began experiencing the same error as described on this site and MANY other websites.
When I open the Pandora app, the app loads but TV immediately displays the following message: "internet browser will be closed due to an internal error". The Pandora picture is greyed out and still slightly visible in the background and the sound is still working, but I cannot access the Pandora app to like a song or even change the station. Like everyone else, I ran through all the self-troubleshooting steps to no avail. I have followed the troubleshooting steps on the support website (i.e. disable java script, cookie setting, delete all cookies; update software; unplug/disconnect, use a wired ethernet cable connection, etc.) and none have worked. I see a lot of internet posts about this error but have found no solutions.
Disable the Java Script and Cookie Setting of the TV.
On the supplied remote control, press the HOME button.
Scroll to Applications or All Apps.
Run the www.Internet Browser app.
Press the Options button and select Browser settings.
Set Java Script to Disable or Off.
Set Cookie Setting to Disable or Off.
Scroll down to Delete All Cookies or Clear Cookies
Select YES.
Perform a software update:
Perform a power reset.
Power off the TV.
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Leave the TV unplugged for one minute.
Plug the power cord back in.
Power on the TV.
Perform a Factory Reset: "
So, I first chatted online with a Sony technical support rep, who escalated to next level of Sony tech support. The online chat rep said another rep will call me in 1-2 business days. The Sony escalated rep called me to troubleshoot but also could not resolve the issue, so the rep escalated to next level of Sony tech support, who called me to troubleshoot but who also could not resolve the issue
"For anyone with this issue, it appears that Sony/Opera are forcing you to allow ad.doubleclick connections. Usually if you have a gateway level ad blocking enabled (Diversion etc), connections to these sites will intensionally be routed to a localhost. Very annoying and not acceptable in my opinion. However, it can easily be resolved, by manually setting your DNS servers on your TV (in Network Settings, Custom Connection, Manual IP address) to Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 servers for example, rather than your own gateway. This will allow ad.doubleclick connections and not create the YouTube app to overlay the error. Hope this helps."
Then rep said to call Pandora bec it *may* be a Pandora issue, at which point I said no, this was a Sony TV issue based on so many Sony TV owners complaining about the same issue and with many different apps. I said routing me to Pandora would not work since Pandora would say this is a Sony issue, of course.
Countless attempts at self-troubleshooting this known issue as evidenced by the many websites that show posts of Sony customers complaining about experiencing the same issue, yet Sony has no solution. Sony FAIL!
Sony has no fix for it, which is why all websites and all Sony tech supports chats and calls fail to resolve the issue, it's just Sony can't come right out and admit and say that. Pathetic. Sony should be able to release a patch or update to fix the issue, not pretend and falsely say they are working on resolving this. This is built-in obsolescence.
"I solved this problem recently (10/2010) by updating my TVs firmware. My TV (sony KDL 40EX700) is configured not to update by itself. So I downloaded onto a flash drive and updated the TV. Netflix is working now."
a year ago
I began getting this message about a month ago. Eventually, a Sony technician called me and said my Bravia TV (an XBR "smart" TV) was made in 2014 and currently doesn't have enough storage to handle the Amazon Prime Video app. He said if the factory reset and disabling Java Script and deleting cookies doesn't free up enough storage (it didn't), the only solution (at least for my model) was to get some kind of media device (e.g., BluRay, Roku, PlayStation, Amazon Fire Stick, etc.) in order to use the storage capacity on those devices. I purchased an Amazon Fire Stick, and have not had the problem since then (I've watched about 15 episodes on Amazon Prime)."
