DTS transcoding with LG 47LD690

Hello everyone

relative newbie and Im having trouble watching any mkv's that are DTS encoded.

I've tried checking downmix to stero but i still get 'unsupported audio format' message on my tv.

Im using LG TV/Player profile.

Thanks

Make sure you have the latest firmware. If yes try adding this to the LG profile:

  Code:

<Transcoding>
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
            <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="dca" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>

can you please provide FFmpeg -i readout for this file (see signiture for howto) as i have a feeling i know whats causing this.

Petr, do I add your lines of code, to the LG Profile like so.

  Code:

<Profile id="8" name="LG TV / player" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <HttpHeaders>
            <friendlyName.dlna.org>LG.*</friendlyName.dlna.org>
         </HttpHeaders>
      </Detection>
      <MediaFormatProfiles>
         <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mp4" name="">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
      </MediaFormatProfiles>
      <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>

I havent yet updated profile but this is the ffmpeg readout:

well thats a shame it wont even let us remux files for LG, nothing i can do then sorry.

[zip]

LG in most cases screwes up when playing transcoded files via Serviio, that's why I removed the transcoding config from the profile. It seems some can play it but most won't. Not sure about models or firmwares. Your best bet now is to transcode audio manually to ac3 and play it then with the original profile.

Ok, what is the best way to transcode audio manually?

Yer that wont work you have edited it slightly wrong here is the correct profile.

  Code:

   <Profile id="8" name="LG TV / player" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>

            <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="dca" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>


This worked perfectly for the 47CM565 I bought on Saturday. I just completely replaced the LG profile with this, saved, restarted service, and saved the profile in console.

with the new serviio version it doesnt work.
can someone create a new profile for new serviio version 1.2 for our not supporting dts lg tv?
