Hi all,
I’m seeking users of HD or HDR devices who regularly use Handbrake (or equivalent) to transcode video (SD/720p/1080p) video for viewing on their Humax over DLNA.
Is anyone able to share their profile files for the above or instruct me how to correctly set them up?
I love my HD / HDR combo and especially like the shared library /DLNA features. However, I am finding it increasingly frustrating to predict what format my HDR or HD will happily play from a DLNA server.
I have a couple of options for using NAS box implementations of DLNA servers, DroboFS with MediaTomb or Netgear miniDLNA. Both of which *work* fine from both the HD and the HDR. As long as I have the file in the right format. This is where I fall down.
I would stress at this point that I have read the existing posts on this forum (and also hummy.tv and avforums) regarding file format and containers and understand in principle that I need MP2 (.ts) or MP4 with the matching audio to be able to do this but I can’t get it to consistently work.
I have also tried the AVS product with not much success, and I prefer handbrake as it is OS.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I have found that most videos from the internet play OK. If not I use FreeMake to make them XVID,MP3 (TV Quality) in an AVI container with the MP3 settings at sterio 128 or 160kb. I can then play via network by searching for the file on a network share if you look under storage in the recorded files on the Humax. I have never had much joy setting up DLNA. Hope this helps.

I wonder what *exactly* you have read on this forum… Have you looked here: http://myhumax.org/wiki/index.php/Media_Playback
It shows what media formats I have tried playing from an attached USB drive. I will update this list by playing a few more formats from my D-Link 320 NAS tonight.
Conversion from .ts to MP4 by AVS Video Converter should play just fine served off a DLNA NAS, but I will confirm this with a few tests tonight.
The latest AVS Video Converter (v8.2) has profiles for conversion to Apple iPad HD Video (H.264, 1280×720, 24fps) and Video for Android tablets (H.264, 1280×720, 24fps). Either of these two profiles should do for reducing the file size of HD recordings but maintain the picture quality for a big screen.
If you have purchased an unlimited version of AVS Video Converter, you can download an upgrade using the update manager, or you can download the profiles packs separately.
I will post a new blog article on using AVS Video Converter v8.2 soon. This might also cover streaming from a NAS to the HDR.
