Blu-ray players usb freezing playing mkv files
Posted: Wed May 27, 2020 1:56 am
I have two Blu-ray players One a Sony, the other LG both of them sometimes have problems playing MKV files either burned onto a data disc, dvd or blue ray, or reading off a drive in USB. I can't tell what causes the problem, but the result is the same. The players will eventually freeze up and require that I unplug the player and start over. It generally happens when I am fast forwarding or flipping through the subtitles. It's almost like doing this is too much for the player. It feels to me like maybe it has to do with the kind of subtitle files on the original dvds. So far converting to M2ts with tsmuxer creates files that play with no problem. I think this program also erases some of the subtitle files.
Sometimes I create the MKV files directly from the original DVD's, sometimes from a DVD Shrink(ed) folder, Sometimes from a DVD that was created using DVD Shrink
Without turning my players upside down and getting their exact model number, is there some idea of what is going on? I would love to be able to have 100's of gigs of movies on one searchable drive and control them through the device remote. I am close to doing that, but not perfect. It seems that just connecting my computer to the Tv and playing the files with VLC does not have the same problem. (But no remote convenience, and I can't work on computer and watch TV at the same time)
