To address this issue on the transcoded AVI's on my server, I adapted the Perl script Illico so kindly provided for my Ubuntu 12.04 box:
- Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $args = '';
foreach my $arg (@ARGV) {
$args = $args . "\"$arg\" ";
}
if ($args =~ /^(.*)\s\"mpeg2video\"\s(.*)$/) {
$args = $1 . ' "mpeg2video" "-vf" "pad=max(iw\,ih*16/9):max(ih\,iw/16*9):(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2:blue,setdar=4:3" ' . $2;
}
my $cmd = "/usr/bin/ffmpeg-serviio $args";
open(LOGFILE, ">>/var/log/ffmpeg-wrapper.log");
if (system($cmd) != 0) {
print LOGFILE scalar localtime . " Failed: " . $cmd . " with $?\n";
close (LOGFILE);
die "Failed\n";
} else {
print LOGFILE scalar localtime . " Success: " . $cmd . "\n";
close (LOGFILE);
}
I renamed my compiled ffmpeg to ffmpeg-serviio and named the Perl script /usr/bin/ffmpeg. Perhaps I misunderstood how this would work, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the files I have when played on my Sony KDL-46NX720, such as this one:

I also tested this same video on my Sony BDP-S580, and that worked exactly correctly, which I expected as the format is natively supported there.
