Ok cool, let Zip to include this profile in the next release: posting.php?mode=quote&f=5&p=24603#pr24603

Did you test the external subtitle "srt" file feature?

Re: Need help establishing profile for Philips 42PFL7406

I'm a bit late to the discussion (so excuse me if it's been discussed) but is not transcoding everything to mpeg2 wrong?

Looking at the protocol info, the TV should support a range of video formats:

  Code:
http-get:*:video/x-matroska:*,
http-get:*:video/x-ms-asf:*,
http-get:*:video/x-ms-asf-plugin:*,
http-get:*:video/mpeg4:*,
http-get:*:video/avi:*,
http-get:*:video/x-ms-avi:*,
http-get:*:video/msvideo:*,
http-get:*:video/x-msvideo:*,
http-get:*:video/h264:*,
http-get:*:video/x-ms-wmv:*


So something might be just a matter of changing mime-type..?

Re: Need help establishing profile for Philips 42PFL7406

You are right, I rushed after reading that...

So
For AVI it seems ok with that
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/avi" name="">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>

Now we have to test step-by-step all formats:

First MATROSKA "http-get:*:video/x-matroska:*"

We could try this:
  Code:
<Profile id="21" name="Philips" extendsProfileId="1">
    <Detection>
        <UPnPSearch>
            <FriendlyName>.*PHILIPS.*</FriendlyName>
        </UPnPSearch>
    </Detection>
    <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>
    <MediaFormatProfiles>
        <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/avi" name="">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
        <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/x-matroska" name="">MATROSKA</MediaFormatProfile>
    </MediaFormatProfiles>
</Profile>

Hi! I'm new to this and have just bought the Philips 47PFL7606.
I tried the above and avi and matroska works well.

I'm happy to help if there is something else you want to try.

A question: Why does the TV identifies as "NMR" in Device Name?

I hope the Philips TV will be implemented in the next version of this great program :roll:

Re: Need help establishing profile for Philips 42PFL7406

I recently acquired a Philips 7606K and it basically works very well with serviio: avi, mkv, mp4 play just fine as long as they don't contain DTS audio.

So the generic dlna profile needs to be extended for the following cases:

    avi/mkv/mp4 containing DTS audio -> transcode to mp3/ac3 audio (can it do audio transcoding only and remux with original video?)
    avi with mjpg video needs to be transcoded
    mov needs to be transcoded

I think this would be a good start for the recent 2011 Philips models with minimal transcoding (only unsupported formats).

any help with setting up these three points is appreciated ;)

These result are with "Generic" profile selected?

Could you check this and post result here?

Re: Need help establishing profile for Philips 42PFL7406

Yes, this is with the generic profile.

I just checked the sink info with upnp spy and it is excatly the same as "Philips 37PFL7605H" on http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=devices_format_support , so I guess there's no need to post it again.

So those three problems mentioned previously should be a good start for a Philips TV 2011 profile. I will be able to test profile updates and provide further feedback on working/non-working files and issues.

BTW: is there a way to tell if serviio is transcoding or serving as-is videos on the device? Some other servers do stuff like adding (T) to the filename, or virtual folders for transcoding -- I'm not a big fan of transcoding videos and would like it to be used only as a last resort and am therefore always interested in knowing exactly what is happening to a file ;)

you said mov needs to be transcoded, but not mp4.
mov/mp4 are similar containers, so there were probably a different in there video codec.
Could you provide "ffmpeg -i <filepath>" result with a mp4 that work and a mov file that doesn't work?
and what about flv, ogg, asf formats?

That should be something like this:
  Code:
   <Profile id="20" name="Philips" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <FriendlyName>.*PHILIPS.*</FriendlyName>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>            
      <Transcoding>      
         <!-- avi with mjpg video needs to be transcoded -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="mjpeg"/>
         </Video>
         <!-- avi, mkv, mp4 play just fine as long as they don't contain DTS audio. -->         
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" >
            <Matches aCodec="dca" />
         </Video>         
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>

Re: Need help establishing profile for Philips 42PFL7406

Just checked the files, the MOVs that don't play also use the MJPEG codec. The other difference being that MOVs don't even show up on the TV, that's why I mentioned them without any codec info at first.

and you are right about flv, ogg, asf, of course, they need to be converted, too.

Regarding the DTS conversion you included: will that transcode the audio only (and leave the video portion as is)?

Re: Need help establishing profile for Philips 42PFL7406

I had some success with the following, adapted profile:

  Code:
   <Profile id="21" name="Philips" extendsProfileId="1">
     <Detection>
       <UPnPSearch>
         <FriendlyName>.*PHILIPS.*</FriendlyName>
       </UPnPSearch>
     </Detection>
     <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>           
     <Transcoding>     
      <!-- unsupported codecs will be transcoded to mpegts with mpeg2video and ac3 audio -->
      <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
         <Matches container="asf" />
         <Matches container="flv" />
         <Matches container="ogg" />
         <Matches container="avi" vCodec="dvvideo" />
         <!-- digital camera video formats -->
         <Matches container="avi" vCodec="mjpeg" />
         <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="mjpeg" />
      </Video>
       <!-- DTS audio needs to be transcoded -->         
       <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="320" >
         <Matches container="avi" aCodec="dca" />
         <Matches container="mp4" aCodec="dca" />
         <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="dca" />
       </Video>         
     </Transcoding>
   </Profile>


The transcoded files play, however seeking does not work with these. When trying to seek the video just hangs, and I can't play any other video (no matter whether transcoded or not) for about two or three minutes.

transcoded MOV files now show up on the TV, however MJPEG AVIs (from a digital camera) don't even show up in the list of videos?
