Serviio

How can I force an aspect ratio for an individual live online source? My LG shows IPTV 16:9 streams with 4:3 aspect ratio. sorry , can't post links as they would not work for you anyway. The links were extracted from an xspf playlist I downloaded from provider (could not find a way to feed the entire list to Serviio). The xspf file contains aspect ratios for individual channels, but I can't specify this info for online source links in Serviio Console. Any ideas? I thought that maybe tweaking profiles xml would help?

post ffmpeg -i "stream_url"

i have the same problem.

I have streams in 16:9 and in 4:3. All my sources added manually in online source / live stream ->url : .......
My TV: 37LV5500

The problem come from SAR 16:11, relative to this issue: https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... d-displays

This is only related to FLV transcoding, ie MediaBrowser. He has problems on the TV AFAIK.

levitmic: Can you post detailed log of when playing the stream?

This is not SAP link.

Yes, on log :
This link is delivered in native format, but it seems that the device close the connection


Could you provide ffmpeg -i "http://87.239.31.209:7001/?sid=b1bedcb431e445bf72e50c706dd048be" result ?

The file is not transcoded, therefore up to the player to properly display the DAR.

You could set up transcodng of (online) mpegts streams and force DAR="16:9", but I'm not sure how well the LG behaves with transcoded streams.

Hi,

I am a newbie using Serviio, I use a LG 42LW650S and have a similar aspect ratio issue to the one described in this topic...
I have managed to see on my TV SopCast streams using the SopCast groovy, they always play at full screen on my TV (I believe is 16:9).
I have managed to see AceStreams using the method described in http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=15372 the problem is that AceStreams play in 4:3 on my TV, I can see the ACE player plays at the correct ratio on my PC running Serviio, so seems to be the TV not doing a great job.
I have tried modifying the transcoding options but and broke it a couple of times so not sure what else to try, this is what my profiles.xml looks like now:

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