Serviio

Hi!
I have sony bravia KDL40CX520
I'm useing sony 2011 profile. When I enable subtitles picture is not full screen. Depending on a file, but i allways have huge glack lines on top and bottom,
and on some files they are on the side to. Like i'm watching 16:9 movie on 4:3 screen.
I searched for answers, but find none

Do you try with "Sony 2011 US profile" ( select it on serviio console) ?

tryed all sony profiles.

Update:
Avi - divx is ok, but xvid is not.
MP4 is ok.
MKV is not ok.
Played avatar.mkv Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 23.976fps
It is full screen but it's glitching

solved it!
deleted DAR="16:9" from <HardSubsTranscoding>
now it's full screen, but it's still glitchering while playing 1080p with big bitrate.

Nice...what is your TV location, US, CA, EU, UK, ASIA ?

I'm in EU - Croatia

is there a way to solve glitches when transcoding subtitles?
Install some codec so that the part of the job goes trough the graphic card.
Serviio serves hi bitrate with no problem without subtitles, but as soon subtitles are enabled its no good.
lo bitrate works fine.
I got Win7 4gb ram dual core 2.6 intel with AMD Radeon HD 6570
Not much, but it should work fine.

Nothing to do with codec install or graphic card. This is serviio/ffmpeg that transcode the file (when sub enabled).
For hi bitrate, with sub enable, you have to wait that serviio/ffmpeg transcode all the movie... you can try make a pause, wait serviio/ffmpeg to finish transcoding, then resume the movie.

Thanx 4 the info!
I used another media server and it glitches 2 but when i fast forward it goes on desired position.
bad thing about that one is that it serves folders, no media library.

I got a blueray player with network oprion and when i play a hi bit mkv with embeded sub it works fine.
No transkoding.
there is no pioneer profile and serviio desplays it as unrecognized device.
But that's another topic, i guess.

Yes please.

For high bitrate problem, do you try to change the value on profiles.xml ? maxVBitrate="17000", try with lower value, 10000, 5000...

in what setting? HardSubsTranscoding or in all?

Hi!

Just to report a little problem.
Tried to play the movie, work fine without the subtitles. When i put external subtitles, it wont play.

Does your file is on a remote network location ?
Could you enable detailed logging and check what's happen during playing?

The movie is on my serever computer, connected via LAN.
I'll enable detailed log asap and post it here.

Here it is!!! I guess!
