Subtitles & 10-bit on Sony Google Internet Player

10-bit video tends to hang every few minutes with a "tear" line across the screen. Video and audio freeze, subtitles continue to appear, and the user interface still works. Selecting a point on the timeline beyond the freeze starts things again. Selecting a point on the timeline before the...

Anybody been able to get GTVBox to mount SMB from a Mac?

Has anybody been able to get GTVBox to mount an SMB share from a Mac running 10.7 or later? My GTVBox won't even see that the share is out there. Way to go Apple, writing your own SMB implementation... Conversely, it'd be even better if GTVBox implemented Apple File Protocol (AFP) someday, for mount...

Re: Video hang verified as tied to extended MKV support

I ran some brief experiments tonight. I played a 10-bit encoded MKV with embedded subtitles - it hung repeatedly at the same point. I started it playing again, but this time didn't enable the subtitles - it still hung. I played an 8-bit encoded video with subtitles and it hung too. Again, it hung r...

Re: Video player with audio switching (GTVBox Video Player)

Hi Alexander, Since the last GTBox update, my MKV videos are stopping at random intervals during playback. At first I thought it was a bad file, but it has been happening on every one I try. On some of the files, I can't even seek back to the point it failed. Any ideas? People usually say "aft...

Re: Showing all subtitles at once

In playing an MKV video, the app appears to show all embedded subtitles at once, overlaying and obscuring one another. One video I watched appeared to have two sets of English-language subtitles, one in white and one on black. Mostly the two sets were typeset identically, so they overlaid each othe...

Streaming from Majestic media server and NFS: Neither works

My Sony Google player replaces a Boxee Box. The Box worked just fine with the Majestic media streamer for the Mac. Not so the GTVBox app. It sees Majestic as a streaming source and can list the contents of the advertised folders and the episodes therein. However, trying to actually play an episode c...
