I even do that on my PC when I rip audio CDs as having the alphabetical file name listings in track order is just too convenient.

There are tools out there that will automatically rename all your files based on the embedded tags. I know foobar2000 will do it but there are also smaller simpler tools that a Google search should find pretty easily.

It 'seems' to play them in the right order if I play them from some of my playlists that I created in foobar but for some reason, when playing from the twonky "Folders" folder, it plays them out of order. I'll play with it some more and figure out what it is doing. Probably not posting this in the right thread but it is an Oppo 93 and I couldn't find a Twonky dedicated thread here. I guess I could look on the Twonky website........

Once I made this change, my tracks played correctly by track number using the By Folder view. You would think Twonky would have fixed this by now, but I don't think I'm running the latest version.

Perhaps something to do with the updated libx264?

It might be handy to do mkvinfo on before and after update files to see if there are any header or attributes changes.

Is this on the BDP-93?

If you can get it to fail reliably you should write this up for OPPO and offer a sample file.

Thanks.

The MP4 file contained a mpeg4 AVC stream, and a AAC audio stream.

I repacked the streams into a MKV container using MKVmerge GUI 4.1.1 . I use this version because it was created just prior to the 'Header Compression' controversy that broke compatibility with some hardware.

Using a Oppo BDP-80, I played the MKVs versions just fine. Utilized a USB drive, played fine. Using Serviio DLNA, files played fine.

Suspect: Header compression is causing compatibility issue.

thanks

CFR plays in both the 83 and 93
VFR plays only in the 93.

This is using the latest public beta FW in both players.

I would like this so I can play files larger than 4 gigs from the thumbdrive.

Do I need a second/separate profile entry for the 80? Using this portion for the 83:


Oppo BDP-83 Disc Player
Oppo Digital Inc
OPPO PLAYER






That's with TVersity v.1.9.3, haven't tried 1.9.7 yet.

Again, the mkv's play fine on the 83 but freeze at 100% loading on the 80.

Thanks!
