I am having an issue streaming an mp4 file from my QNAS over my home
network. It is something I don't understand at all so I can't be sure even
my question will make sense!
My Roku-Express-4K-plus-2021-QSG-US streams it fine but my Panasonic DMR-PWT550 just says "Can't Play" which is not very helpful.
The Panasonic is supposed to be able to play mp4 with a bit rate up to 100Mbps/resolution up to 3840x2160. The mp4 appears to have a bit rate of 16051 kbps which I think is 16.051 Mbps. Resolution is 1920x1080.
Are there different types of mp4 that might cause the issue or anybody
have any other thoughts?
The file is 27.4 GB so I could try sticking it on a thumbdrive and see
what the Panasonic thinks of it.

I'd guess the file size has got something to do with it. I occasionally
find
that my smart TV won't play a file for reasons it keeps to itself. I find >re-encoding into something bland makes it playable.

When you say streaming, what protocol are you using? A "proper" streaming >one such as DLNA or RTSP, or just hoping for "fast enough" access using a >file access protocol such as SMB or HTTP to work?

It's DLNA, the QNAS delivers it and the various "smart" boxes pick it up
as a DLNA server. I don't think it is a speed issue, the DVD player just doesn't seem to recognise the file format.

what video and audio does VLC show are inside the MP4?

I made a comparison with an mp4 that worked, VLC shows:
Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avcl)
for both.
For the one that works this is stream 0, for the one that doesn't it's
stream 1 - i.e. audio/video are reversed. The only other difference is
that there is no language information for the one that works but it is
shown as English for the one that doesn't.
VLC is only about a third of the way through "converting" it, it's only
using 4% cpu and 525 MB of memory (64 GB available). I might run it
through Adobe Premiere Elements tomorrow just as an experiment.

I'm puzzled here. You have a Roku stick which will play things just fine.
Why on earth did you buy a "smart" TV from a company not known for making >them when you could have just used the stick? Or even bought a Roku TV?
I then thought I'd look for another media server and found Universal Media >Server
I split the file into the four episodes it contained using Videopad and found episode 2,3 and 4 played but not 1.

Some episodes MPEG-TS, the others MPEG-PS?
