[SOLVED] 0.6 normal files wont work with Samsung LE46C750

Dear all,

since 0.6 most files wont work with my Samsung LE46C750 --> "unsupported fileformat" --> "nicht unterstütztes Fileformat".

With former version (0.5.2 ?) works nearly almost perfect 95% of all DNLA files works good.

mkv container Files with codec mpeg4 actually wont work.

The Log file (unter C:programs...bla..serviio.log) wont show singificant entries through the problem...

Could you help me (again ?)

ok i have the exactly same tv as you and cannot reproduce these problems, please check you are using teh correct profile for the device.

I have been waiting for 0.6 with high hopes. Although 0.52 opened without problems, 0.6 wouldn't open until I eventually went into Administrative services and turned it on manually, after having also had to give myself a password log-on for Windows. On my 32D LCD TV I can now play .mp3 audio and .jpg image files - not .mov (format not supported) nor .avi (unsupported codec) nor .wma files. The Samsung Allshare upgrade in July means I can now play .avi files through that. Have I missed something?

ok i have the exactly same tv as you and cannot reproduce these problems, please check you are using teh correct profile for the device.

Hi Cerberus,

never touched or handled the "profiles.xml" there was no need before (for me)... after looking for it I found "my" profile
--> Profile id=“7“ name="Samsung TV / player (C/D-series)" extendsProfileId="2">
interesting... looks a little bit as the PMS PS3 renderer files...

I've looked up the forum and googled a little around.... but I can't find the place where I can define "7" as my TV profile...

So my question ist...how can I set Profile id "7" as MY profile ?

Thank you in advance

P.S. I've enabled the detailed log... may I'll later see there which profile was taken...

[moltra]

you can select the profile in the serviio console.

Hi,

hmmm... thank you... (I've already searched the console for the profile without seeing it ... but now... I found it...)
o.k. done... finally found it... but I've never recognized the collumn "Profil" for selecting specific entries...

Is there a detailed difference between 0.6 & 0.52 for choosing the profile or not ? Under 0.52 there was NO NEED for me to change and choose the right profile ...

On my PC several DNLA Server programs are running (Samsung Allshare, TVmobili, PS3 PMS, Serviio, Media Player)... So I can choose the right one for the right file... normally PS3 PMS & Serviio have the best use for me. But no media server can play all media files.
May with the selected profile it will even better work since before.
I miss this IMPORTANT hint for choosing different TV Profiles in the FAQ which the most keyusers have included in their footers.

o.k. I'll shutdown my PC and restart Serviio and hopefully the profile brings BACK the old coolness from 0.52

Thank you for your great work with SERVIIO... I love this DNLA server and try to spread it into my friendship and blogs whenever its possible..

SOLVED !!!

Thank You all !!!

[Cerberus]

nope 0.52 and 0.6 are exactly the same but i suspect when you upgraded the renderer decided to change its ip on you at same time so it lost its profile

If you follow the instructions in my signature on how to get information on a video that will not play and post it here, unless it is in a container or codec, that serviio does not support, we can help you customize your profile to play it.

Zip also takes the customized profiles and if they work for a majority of the people places it in the standard profile.xml that comes with serviio.

add this line to the tarnscode section of the samsung profile. (profile.xml)

<Matches container="mpg" vCodec="asf" />

Hi,

where exactly ? after changing the profile ... PC wont start the serviio console and provides an error..

ad first I add the line here.. <Matches container="mpg" vCodec="asf" />
<!-- transcode H264 MP4 files with LPCM audio -->
after that here...
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video">
than at both places....

But it breaks up while starting the console.......
