Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupported)

Hello there. Downloaded Serviio to try & serve some a/v files to the main tv. Most things worked, but I couldn't get any .MKV files to play. They all responded with a "corrupt or unsupported" error. No other Sony/Generic profile seems to work, with or without transcoding. Thanks for any help you can provide. My mind is getting older, & I'm not as computer savvy as I once thought I was.

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

This MKV/MPEG4(DX50)/AAC file is not supported in native format by your BDP-S590. (This is NOT a standard format...)

It should be transcoded to MPEGTS/MPEG2VIDEO/AAC.

Could you edit the ./serviio/conf/profiles.xml file and replace this section on profile "Sony BDP-Sx90 (2012)":
  Code:
         <!-- h264 videos with high/main profile level > 4.1 will be transcoded to mpegts with mpeg2video and ac3 audio -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="main" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpeg4" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="msmpeg4" />
         </Video>

lines added :
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpeg4" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="msmpeg4" />

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Thank you very much, the file plays now. Cheers. :)

Any way to switch between native & dubbed languages? My Japanese is very subpar.
Also, I can't get the the subtitles to show up, no matter what options I choose.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Hi,

For the first time, I've run across a problematic .mkv, using the same Sony BDP-Sx90 (2012) profile. I've added the two lines noted above to the profiles.xml file, but with no luck.
Can someone advise me of what other changes to the profiles.xml file may be needed, or how I can change the video codec of the mkv if that is the issue? (converting it to .mp4 did not help btw)

Here is the mediainfo:

Thanks!

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

you're more likely to get a response with code blocks so its readable and the whole mediainfo including audio (who knows that could be the problem). Good luck!

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Oh - ok,

Sorry! - this is my first time posting, so I just defaulted to figuring it was a "video" issue. Can you let me know if the following is what you are looking for (also my first time with FFmpeg), or any suggestions?

Thanks!

Yeah it looks great I don't see anything wrong with it. Will have to wait until act someone smarter posts.

Are you sure the right profile is on the right IP?

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Without being too revealing of your home network, do you have static ips set up in your router for the Sony and serviio server?

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Yes, it is the correct profile.
The Sony BDP-S590 is direct wired to the home network, using DHCP but because it is used frequently, the lease never expires.

Note: it is only this series of .mkv's (of which this file is one of them) that throw the corrupt or unsupported error - everything else Serviio delivers works flawlessly, including other .mkv's.

The only thing I could see as being different is this problem .mkv uses the Advanced Video Codec.. but not sure if the profiles.xml is already good to go for this format?

TIA

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

AVC is H.264. There is already this line in the profile:

<Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />

This should be matching your clip and causing the video and audio to both be transcoded to a format which should just work.

You can check the debug log to see if it is actually getting transcoded and exactly how.

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Check to see if the file is being transcoded now, and each of the cases below (either use the log file, or see viewtopic.php?f=10&t=24557&p=117800#p117800 and atc98092 post under that one, to work out if its being transcoded).

If it is not being transcoded (suspect that is the case) then try this:

Add the line
    <H264LevelCheck>ANY</H264LevelCheck>
just above the line <Transcoding> in the Sony BDP-Sx90 (2012) profile. Restart your server.

If that doesn't work, then as a test change the two occurrences of "4.1" to 3.2" in the profile (and restart the server) and let us know if that makes a difference.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I tried both the addition of the level check, and changing the 4.1 to 3.2, without any success.
Trying http://localhost:23423/rest/playback-status does in fact show it is not being transcoded.

Consequently, here is the debug log, which also shows no transcoding - just that these particular files all stop at 0% playback .

Thanks again

Is transcoding enabled in the Serviio Console? Under Delivery, Transcoding from memory.

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

67Healey, that is not a debug log. Notice each line is labelled INFO. That is the normal logging, and does not show if a file is being transcoded. Of course, the Playback status you reported confirms no transcoding.

Let us know the answer to what DenyAll asked. And if you do get debug logging enabled, please don't just post a snippit of the log. You might inadvertently leave out something important. Feel free to edit out any information that you might feel is too personal (folder scanning with title names, and so forth), but you will find the debug log will be quite large, and there could be something in there that has to be seen.

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

Its really got me stumped then - one of those two changes should have forced transcoding. Did you restart the server (or better yet the PC) after making and saving the changes? The Serviio server needs to restart to re-load the profiles so that they have effect.

Check that the profile hasn't changed as well. Long shot, but scratching my head.

Try the Direct-TV profile - that transcodes pretty much everything.

Hi DenyAll &atc98092,

Now it works! :D - short story, it was the XML editor I was using that wasn't properly forming the .xml after me putting in your edits. (learning lesson - never use the first hit on google for an xml editor "XML Copy Editor")
Inserting the H264LevelCheck only "fixed" one of the files, however, decreasing the 4.1 to 3.2 now has all of the "problem" mkv's working!

Just for my own curiosity - is this AVC format somewhere between 3.2 & 4.1?

Thanks again SO MUCH - for all your help!

Re: Sony BDP-S590 wont play .MKV files(corrupt or unsupporte

AVC has multiple levels, from 1 into the 5s. The one media info you posted above was Level 4.2. I usually only see levels higher than 4.1 with 4K material. The levels pertain to maximum bitrates and resolutions. This page has a lot of info about the different profiles and levels. http://blog.mediacoderhq.com/h264-profiles-and-levels/
