Weird NAS Drive problem

Hello
I recently purchased a KD43X7053.


I have a really weird issue.

I have a QNAP NAS drive for network media storage, and I can access the music, photos and videos easily from a Panasonic PVR, so I'm happy the NAS drive is doing its stuff.

 

When I placed an MP4 video in the public area of the NAS drive, the Panasonic could see it, but my new Sony TV could not.

 

I placed the video in a folder, and the Panasonic could see it; my new Sony TV correctly saw the folder but said it was empty.

 

I took the video back out of the folder and changed its name to upper case. No joy.

 

But here is the clincher... I then placed a second video in the same public folder.
So it contained Video-1 and Video-2.

Now my new Sony TV told me Video-2 was visible, but when I clicked on it, it played Video-1.

 

It looks as if the Sony is "one out" in looking at videos - when there is one, it sees none. When there are two, it sees one, and accesses the WRONG one.

I have the most up-to-date firmware.

Any ideas?

Hello Win_88
I think my previous posting was poorly written, for which I apologise. Buried in what I wrote in the posting above yours was that I *had* tried another MP4 containing H264 and it *did* work.

The differences are the sound format (the one that failed is Dolby 5.1) and the aspect ratio (the 1920 x 1024 failed and the 1920 x 1080 worked).

That's why I was interested in encoding up some different H264s inside the MP4 container. However, as I also noted, the TV is fine reading it from a USB stick, so I'm not even sure where the problem is (but my PVR CAN read it from my NAS drive so everything is wonderfully inconclusive)

Hi @DerekSH

 

Ah, that's my bad then as I missed that point.

 

There could be a number of reasons for the issue here, but I think the mere fact it's so hard to find a file to replicate the problem indicates that it's very limited/ non critical, although we don't know exactly what's causing it.
