MKV Video Playback Problem - Viera

[ymisyd]

Hello,

I have ripped some of my Blu-Ray discs using MakeMKV and they seem to have ripped fine with no problems (all play perfectly on PC). However, I do have a strange playback problem on my Panasonic Viera GT50.

Some films exhibit a breaking-up / pixelating of the picture on playback, either through my wired network connection or via the use of a USB stick plugged directly into the TV (screenshot attached). Strangely, my Panasonic Blu Ray player won't play the files over the network (they appear to be unsupported?) but plays them perfectly with the USB stick plugged into it.

To sum up, it would appear that the TV itself is having some kind of trouble with random MKV rips (the screenshot is from Django Unchained, but Dredd and Hot Tub Time Machine work perfectly whereas The Other Guys exhibits the same problem)

Many thanks in advance for any help....

Not sure what could be the reason, but there are others who have posted similar observations:

Can you try the same RIP on another TV and see if it plays back properly?

1)Ensure the firmware of the panny TV is up to date.
2)It is likely that the ripped file is encoded using a codec that the TV cannot decode.

Thanks, the firmware is the latest revision (according to the set's over the air update).

The video bitrate is too high to handle for your tv..try to playback some small size files and check if it's the same issue.
