For some renderer like Sony Bravia there were problem with h264 video source format, you probably have to encode to mpeg2video.
add this to your profile:

  Code:

   <OnlineTranscoding>
      <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
         <Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264"/>
      </Video>
   </OnlineTranscoding>

Hi,

My 2009 Sony TV w5500 seems to loose server connection when streaming is initiated.
Gulli feed icon is displayed (actual show preview picture), but then streaming fails after a while once show is selected (error on TV screen saying connection to server is lost).
Other plugins (Pluzz, etc) work fine.
I did try with the suggested transcoding line added to TV profile (I duplicated my TV profile, adding another one with the extra line).
Thanks for any help.

My 2009 Sony TV w5500 seems to loose server connection when streaming is initiated.

Yes its the same problem with my Sony device.
its due to ffmpeg crashed when it try to remux the h264/aac to mpegts container.
So I modify the profile to encode video to mpeg2video/ac3 to mpeg2ts.
Could you edit the profiles.xml and modify the "Sony Bravia TV 2009" like this (restart serviio service after profile modification)

  Code:

   <Profile id="21" name="Sony Bravia TV 2009" extendsProfileId="9">
      <!-- 2009 and earlier models need a separate profile -->
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <!-- 2009 models known to support UPnPSearch -->
            <FriendlyName>BRAVIA KDL-\d{2}(WE5|(E53|E55|V55|V56|W55|W57|Z55|Z57)\d0) *</FriendlyName>
         </UPnPSearch>
         <HttpHeaders>
            <!-- 2008 models, and possibly older or different region 2009 firmwares which may not support UPnPSearch -->
            <X-AV-Client-Info>.*BRAVIA KDL-\d{2}(([A-Z](1|5|E1|R1|BR45|BR9|[1357]0\d{2}|4\d{3}))|(S55|S57|W51|Z51|Z58)\d0).*</X-AV-Client-Info>
         </HttpHeaders>
      </Detection>
      <Transcoding>
         <!-- transcode DivX avi files which is not defined in parent profile -->
         <!-- Transcode baseline h264 in mp4/non-isom container -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="192">
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="mpeg4"/>
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="msmpeg4"/>
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="mjpeg"/>
            <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" profile="baseline" ftypNotIn="isom" />
         </Video>         
      </Transcoding>
      <OnlineTranscoding>      
         <!-- Transcode baseline h264 in mp4/non-isom container -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="192">
            <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" profile="baseline" ftypNotIn="isom" />
            <Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264"/> <!-- For Gulli online rss feeds -->

   </Profile>

Thanks for your feedback for Gulli and Pluzz plugin.

Actually for some reason (maybe due to some Server restarts and TV restarts) it ended-up working with the first profile modification.
Without modification, some content work, some content fail: it seems consistent (same content fails repeatedly), although I probably need to make more thorough tests.
I'll also look at your second profile modification and run some tests.

It would be great if only remux (rather than re-encoding) is sufficient: indeed although I'm currently testing with a Core2duo machine, my normal setup is with an ARM-based QNAP NAS, for which transcoding is not an option.
I'm glad my TV supports AVC so that I normally don't have to transcode: if Gulli content is forcing heavy processing, this will become an issue.

Anyway, I'll do more tests and report here.
Thanks again for your very quick turnaround.

Best

thas not work for me. It will be great if some one can fix it.

Quel est le modèle de ta TV?
C'est peut-être un problème de géolocalisation.
Peux-tu activer le log détaillé (lien signature) et poster le log ici ?
(Pour information, chez moi cela fonctionne)

J'ai le boitier lg st600 smart tv upgrader. Mais je suis au Canada, donc probablement un problème de geolocalisation. Sauf que M6 fonctionne trés bien.

Hello,

is this plugin still working ? Doesn't find any video for me.

[Illico]

The problem come from the RSS feed link,is not uptodate.
http://replay.gulli.fr/layout/set/rss/RSS

I should perhaps modify the plugin to take directly from the catalog pages
http://replay.gulli.fr/replay/dessins-animes
http://replay.gulli.fr/replay/emissions
http://replay.gulli.fr/replay/series
or
http://replay.gulli.fr/AaZ

I sent an email to their admin to notify their RSS feed isn't working anymore. I suppose they broke something during an update. So wait and see...

Good news RSS feed seem sto be fixed. But still doesn't work for me...

[Illico]

Ok for the RSS feed but video source format seems to be wrecked:
Read the first post, when h264 source is broken you can edit the profile to force mpeg2video transcoding.

For example :

  Code:

I think that the problem comes from h264_mp4toannexb bitstream filter.
