BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
17 posts
• Page 1 of 1
I have just tried to do all this on my new Sony BDP S370 player. I can play .mp3, .wma and .avi files fine. I can play the iTunes .m4a files OK from the USB, but not using DLNA. I understand that this is 'feature' of the Sony machine. The question is, can I play the files using the correct transcoding settings, and what should they be. I must admit, I have only tried playing the music through the music tab on the Sony. The machine can parse the directories containing the files, but never lists anything, as it says there is no playable music (or words to that effect)
Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
Audio transcoding is coming in 0.5.1. Weird that the device can play them from USB but not via DLNA, maybe it's just a mime-type header.

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
I've tried disguising them as various other formats (which works for wma) but not for m4a unfortunately. They're going to need transcoding to lpcm. However, the way Serviio presents wav files isn't working either, but was working under PS3 Media Server. I haven't really sat down to troubleshoot this on account of video being the bigger priority, but it's overdue...

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
Thanks for the prompt response. I have tried some other servers, and they don't work either, if it is any consolation. For some reason, Sony allow direct playing but not over DLNA - its even in the spec.

Maybe it's something to do with DRM.

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
I suppose that is possible, but they are CD's I ripped myself (rather than bought from iTunes), so DRM should not be an issue (especially as the file plays fine from the USB input)
Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
I have a BDP-S570 and can confirm it does not support .m4a files via DLNA. I tried many different DLNA packages, Mezmo did work but it transcodes.
I agree it makes no sense since the player can handle the aac audio when it's present with video, just not by itself...and it plays the files back locally.
I'd love to test 0.5.1 with audio transcode.

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
I'm running Serviio 0.5.2 and it's working great except that I don't see .wav files on the BDP-S370 at all. Is there a transcode option I can add in the profile to address this?

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
Thanks zip, but your suggestion didn't work.
I checked the log file and Serviio does not seem to be seeing any .wav files to add to my library in the first place (it adds a .mp3 correctly). I downloaded a random new .wav and new .mp3 to test this; the mp3 showed up in the log but not the wav.

Maybe you're right, I've forgotten if I implemented that Can you create a bitbucket ticket to implement this? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
There's this issue already that mentions WAV - does that cover it or do you need a new one?

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
Zip - thanks on the information regarding wav files.
I also cannot play WMA Lossless through serviio, even with the profile tweak provided in the Sony Bluray Disc Player Readme by patters at viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2004 (that is: add "asf" to the list of audio transcoding types). The player shows the lossless file as LPCM, but I always get "The file is corrupted or the music file is not supported" on the player. I think this may be associated with some error messages in the log (pasted below). Is this a different problem, or have you not yet added the code for lossless WMA either?

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
Could you enable detailed logging (see signature links) and find the ffmpeg command line used to transcode your file?
Try locally the same command line and check the result.

Re: BDP-S370 cannot play .m4a (iTunes) via DLNA
To be honest, the more as I know about iTunes file is how to convert iTunes Audios from M4P to MP3. With all iTunes purchased or rented audios are combined with fairplay DRM protection, making it impossible to be played on Apple unauthorized devices, like android tablet, Windows movie maker, LG smart TV, etc. You may have to get rip of DRM protection at first. The way for me to convert iTunes audios to MP3 format is to use DRM Audio Converter for Windows. It is designed to convert audios at 30x faster speed without hampering the quality. Maybe you can CLICK HERE to learn its detail functions.

You keep posting this information, and it's wrong. iTunes music does not contain DRM any longer. It has been years since their music had DRM (2009, in fact). Yes, video still contains DRM, but not music.
There's no problem you mentioning converting the media to another container/codec. But stop with the DRM info.
