Summary0020394: Video Play to Samsung TV do not work correctly
DescriptionI generally tested today with Samsung TV to play some video files over DLNA/UPnP and these issues are encountered. Please let me know what specific things you would like that I test and to create new bugs directly related to them

TV Conversion settings, Log and MM UI Video behavior supplied.

1. AVI files do not play at all TV trigger error not support Expected that files are converted and played, MM should update supported codecs of some fail to play. All files play on MM internal player.
2. Seek do not work at all even for video files that play.
3. If TV is turned off while MM is playing then Volume was left on TV setting and not reverted to MM volume setting (Switching from TV to Internal reverts volume, can be seen in video).
4. There is no Mute indication in MM skins Volume is just set to 0
TagsNo tags attached.

 1) As for the supported formats, it is generally unpredicable, e.g. on my Samsung TV
-- MPG1, 240x192px, 25 fps: plays fine
-- MPG1, 368x272px, 25 fps: fails to play as unsupported

But we could try to implement a fallback to auto-conversion like we have already done for Chromecast devices...
The downside is that in case of DLNA we have no general error code that would tell us that the particular format is unsupported,
so the only way is to wait 10 seconds for playback to start and if it fails then fallback to transcoding which postpones playback start by 20 seconds or so :-(

Nevertheless it seems that we could remove AVI and WMV from the default supported formats -- as I suppose that majority of TVs does not support AVI

2) I have also Samsung TV and for me seeking works correctly...

re 2): Let me know if you need any specific seeking targeted test log on clean 2824 install?

 2) Can you please attach one more debug log with DbgView started prior to MM5, playing a single video that does not need conversion to Samsung TV and perform a seek to the middle of the file?
The "SEEK" command sent to the Samsung TV is same as in my case so I don't see a reason why it works on my Samsung TV and not on yours :-/
Playing from other media controllers performs the seek correctly?
