New LG Profile Requiring Testers. (2012 Models ONLY)

Using this profile I cannot fast forward/rewind and videos. It's the same with the default LG profile.

You cannot fast forward or rewind when the video is being transcoded. It seems LG devices can only seek based on offests in the file, and that's not possible when transcoding.

LG Media Link, using Plex Media Server, can seek in transcoded files. However, Plex Media Server has several bugs which make it unusable for transcoding during plaback.

Hi All , well I'm the proud new parent of a LG 42LM6200 , 2012 model down here in NZ ( LM620T in the UK ). So far the new profile works great, no problems , plays everything I've thrown at it including VOB's with DTS. Had a small problem last night with an SRT file , changed the SRT and AVI to both 8.3 format and that fixed it. Downloaded a few trailers and its all good so far. Fast forward doesn't work but you can do small jumps forward and back with the remote. I'll have go at trying to break it if you can point me to some source video.

I have just bought a new BP620 player after ditching ps3 for good. 2 catastrophic failures in 4 years is not good enough sony. I have also switched to Serviio from PS3 media server. Thanks for this profile, everything I have tried so far is working apart from some .avi files.
I have a folder with avi files and every now and again the Player reports - 'cannot play file type'. I have looked into the files and all the files that wont play are encoded with the Microsoft Mpeg v2 non standard codec, ID MP42. I have tried the following without success
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >
<Matches container="avi" vCodec="mp42"/>
</Video>
</Transcoding>

I suppose "LG"Profile is selected on serviio console?
Could you provide "ffmpeg -i <your avi file>" result ?

Thank you, that has fixed the problem - Loving Serviio

Some online streams (not all) are shown with wrong aspect ratio (4:3 instead of 16:9). Here is one example

http://77.51.249.86:8001

which shows squeezed from the sides.

This one here is shown correctly

Thanks for information, your file seems good.
Could you enable detailed logging (see signature link), then extract the ffmpeg command line used to transcode your file ? its probably due to ffmpeg DTS transcoding failure.

then extract the ffmpeg command line used to transcode your file ?

Im note sure on how to do this... I enabled detal loggin and look at the looked at serviio.log and I see a lot of stuff.. I did a search for ffmpeg on that file and this is what i got... I hope is what you were asking for...

FFmpeg crashed, but why ?!

Could you retry locallly in a windows terminal the same command line, then post the ffmpeg log result:

  Code:

Your mkv seems wreaked.
I suggest to use mkvmerge tool to rebuild the mkv file (it's easy and speedy): http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix
Or you can directly remux to mpegts with TsMuxer tool, but you'll lose subtitles...

This profile plays flv files on my tv set just fine. While standard LG profile did not.

Tv LG 42LS570S

Adding

  Code:

 <Matches container="rm" />

to the profile, enabled rmvb playback with Serviio 1.1.

Best regards,

Hello,

I have a LG 32LS570T-ZB Smart TV and transcoded FLAC audio files using this new profile result in an "invalid file" warning on the TV.

Here's the debug:

try to change the targetACodec to mp3

Hello zip,

Thanks for your suggestion. Since I was tweaking the audio tag I changed the targetContainer to mp3 rather than adding a targetACodec as you suggested.

Therefore the profile now looks like this:

However, now when playing on the TV the music is garbaged - almost like it's playing at x2 speed, but without it's pitch being raised.
