WD TV Live HD: Online playback from SVTPlay broken
I have this little quirk in WD TV HD Live, when playing back online contents from SVTPlay.
What happens is playback restarts from the beginning, w/o warning or pause.
It happens at different points in the stream, but mostly almost consistently for any one show.
If I play back on my Sony BDP-S370, instead, everything works OK.
Further info that I happen to have:
The Sony gets a transcoded stream, always, mpeg2ts.
The SVTPlay streams are in mp4 containers.
If I download them thru rtmpdump of the web page embedded links, they usually won't play on anything, but if I do
ffmpeg -i svtplayfile.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -scodec copy -f mp4 localfile.mp4
first, they always play perfectly on any device I have.
I suppose online transcoding should be the obvious thing to try, but what would be the ideal target container and codecs for a WD TV HD Live??
Or is there some other, known fix?
I'm on 0.6.1, I've been too busy with other things forever, so maybe upgrading serviio might affect the problem?
Just looking for pointers to first things to try, before I dig in for real.
