The LG profile doesn't do much by default - it doesn't transcode anything.
To vary the profile to transcode your HEVC videos, try the following:
- Edit the file config\profiles.xml using your favourite text editor (Notepad++ recommended)
- find the line
</MediaFormatProfiles>
in the "LG TV / player" profile. - Add the following below that line
- Code:
<Transcoding>
<!-- Transcode all h265 video -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video maxHeight="1080" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" >
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265"/>
</Video>
</Transcoding>
- Save the file
- Restart your PC
If it doesn't work, try it without the
maxHeight="1080" and let me know. You may also need to make this number smaller (eg. 720) for other files (if the aspect ratio is > 16:9). After each change save and restart.
If still not working revert the changes and let me know. You will need to make this change every time Serviio is upgraded.
Other files that are not being played may need to be added to the transcode block. Note that this will transcode
ALL HEVC videos. Your PC must have the power to do this in real time (becomes a factor particularly with 4K video). If you only need to transcode HEVC 4K video (and not all HEVC) let me know - not sure it can be done, but we may be able to think of a work around.
