Fewer movies "playable" by Sony XBR9 after upgrade to 0.5

When I browse the Video->TItles offered by Serviio server, I still see a lot of first-characters, that ought to be available:

  Code:

(
)
0
3
...


However, when I try to descend into many of them, the TV tells me, there is nothing to see there...

This was also a problem with release 0.4.2 -- the movie "300", for example, the sole entry under "3", never seemed acceptable to this TV... But now even some of the entries that the TV did accept before, aren't playable...

ffmpeg's details on the 300 MKV-file:

Do you have Bravia profile selected?

Do you have Bravia profile selected?

Do I have to explicitly select it? I thought, the player is automatically detected... Is that not the case?

[zip]

Yes, it should be. Just checking.

Yes, it should be. Just checking.

No, the version 0.5 was using "Generic" profile... After I forced it to "Sony Bravia TV", more videos became available...

However, the movie "300" is still not available... If I go to the full list of titles, I see "3" as one of the first-letter virtual folders. But, when I try to descend into it, the TV says, there is nothing there... I already posted the ffmpeg-info for this one, below is the output of mediainfo -- just in case:

Can you get to the file via Folders category?

Can you get to the file via Folders category?

Nope... Not there either...

[zip]

Is the file there if you use AV Media Controller from Intel's tools?

Is the file there if you use AV Media Controller from Intel's tools?

I guess, I'll have to try that Intel package, don't I... I wonder, if it will even work on FreeBSD... It may take me some time -- I'll get back to you.

But there are no other titles here, that begin with "3"... So, if the "3" is among the sub-folders under "Titles", then the file must be in the database...

However, the movie "300" is still not available...

I'm happy to report, that this -- and some other of my movies, that Bravia would not list before -- are now viewable and playable with 0.5.2. Thanks!

Moderator: Topic moved to Sony

Does your "300.mkv" work with 0.5.2 version?

Because it is a H642 video with High@L5.1 profile.

Please, could you post your detailed Serviio logging (see signature) when you start transcoding this file ?

Does your "300.mkv" work with 0.5.2 version?

Yes. There are other videos, that the TV refuses to list, but "300" is no longer among them. One "still bad" example is here (khm, are the dashes in the filename to blame?):

Please, could you post your detailed Serviio logging (see signature) when you start transcoding this file ?

Do you still want the log-entries?

[Illico]

Do you still want the log-entries?

Yes please "300" is for the new serviio feature (higher profile detection) process verification.
And please also with your "still bad" example.
EDIT: Did you check that : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1132 ?

Yes please "300" is for the new serviio feature (higher profile detection) process verification.

Changing the logging configuration (to enable debug) would require a restart, which I can not do at the moment — grandparents are watching an operetta on their own TV, believe it or not... But here is, how the ffmpeg is launched for this movie by Serviio:

  Code:

/opt/bin/ffmpeg -i /green/movies/300.2006.720p.BluRay.x264.Rus.mkv -y -threads 3 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 23.976 -g 15 -copyts -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /fuji/Serviio/Serviio/transcoding-temp-17-MPEG2TS.stf

And please also with your "still bad" example.

Can't do that, because the TV would not list these files — and so I can not even attempt to play them...

EDIT: Did you check that : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1132 ?

Well, my problem so far is not that the files would not play — it is that the TV would not even list them... So, I don't think, that tip applies to me, does it?

Thanks!
