- That could be interresting to have HD profile (ex:AVC_TS_HD_EU_T) compatible with BRAVIA
- Message: Unknown video file type : Flash Video container type not supported by ffmpeg
- Message: Unknown audio codec: if no audio track, media not add to the video library

Hi Illico that would be an excellent idea to have a common Sony Bravia TV Profile (in this case a Profile ID of 9).

Normally it would be backward compatible, but in this case its possibly formward compatible. Going by the Sony Website in Australia sony.com.au, my old KDL-40WE5 as far as DLNA is concerned appears to be more advanced with more features than the latest 3D IPTV Bravia Marvels!!!!!!

From the Specs, my old KDL-40WE5 is

DLNA Photo (JPEG), Music (MP3, LPCM), Video (MPEG2 PS, MPEG2 TS, AVCHD)

while latest KDL-52LX900 (integrated 3D receiver, integrate wireless and IPTV and IP Widgets) has only DLNA specs of

DLNA Photo (JPEG), Music (MP3, LPCM), Video (MPEG2, AVCHD)

So Zip can safely add our code snippet for Sony Bravia TV to the next versiopn Serviio 0.4.2. To improve things even further, I added provision for .mp4 and .mkv video files as well.

  Code:

<Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
            <Detection>
                <X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
            </Detection>
           
            <Transcoding>
               <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
                   <Matches container="avi" />
                   <Matches container="matroska" />
                   <Matches container="mp4" />
               </Video>
            </Transcoding>

         </Profile>


I have a desktop running Windows Professional 7 32 bit and a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

It would appear that on the 32bit version, both .mp4 and.mkv files work fine, but on the 64 bit only I managed to get only .mp4 to work.
Also the Thumbnails seem to have a problems with .mkv videos, don't show up (maybe need some more testing)

I also downloaded the latest MPlayer for Win32 FFmpeg.exe {FFmpeg-svn-24254 from Sherpya} and it does not seem to make any difference as far as .mkv files are concerned with Servio running on a 64bit OS.

Another quirky thing, on the Serviio running on 32 bit Win 7 OS the .mp4 and .mkv video files appear with no thumbnail in "All Titles" but not in "Movies" - you would expect to see the same movie in both places. On 64 bit Win 7, Servio has the same, but only in this case for .mp4 files.

Cheers,
Paul

Guys, great thread!

Just one thing - not sure if you're on Linux (as you have your own FFmpeg), but if that is the case you should compile FFmpeg using the source that is available on serviio.org (download page). It includes some patches that are not available in the FFmpeg repository (and therefore in a official releases). That way you'll get the same version as the Windows/OSX users.

[Illico]

For Windows users (like me), the latest ffmpeg.exe can be downloaded here.

I am able to play most of my AVIs with the current profile set up:
(Mpegts does not seem to be supported)

<Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia EX" extendsProfileId="1">
<Detection>
<X-AV-Client-Info>.*BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
</Detection>
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
<Matches container="asf" />
<Matches container="avi" />
<Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="matroska" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>

However, I am not seeing all (if any) MP4s and some AVis are still not displaying.
I am a bit raw to the technical details being discussed so hope I will catch up.
I believe I need to run ffmpeg on the individual files to uncover particular issues?

Also, has anyone been able to view and play .MOV files?

Lastly, how is subtitle support added into the profile (if not, how else to get the support for .SRT files)?

[zip]

.MOV files are just MP4 files. I'm not sure if the TV supports streaming subtitles, if not then you won't be able to see them.

It's weird if Mpeg2TS is not supported, as the protocol info lists a lot of those.

It's weird if Mpeg2TS is not supported, as the protocol info lists a lot of those.

I thought so, too but my 40HX700 won't play Mpeg2TS either.

But I've added <Matches container="mpegts" /> to Illico's profile and they seem to play OK. now. Only started using Serviio on Sunday, so early days yet.
Great piece of software!

Cheers,
Paul.

Could you make a test with this profile, please check that profile is chosen on console, save and restart service before testing.

  Code:

<Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">

<Detection>
<X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
</Detection>

<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts">
<Matches container="matroska" />
<Matches container="mp4" />
</Video>

I'm also a newbie, I try to understand how to put on at best serviio with my Bravia TV. Goog job zip/Petr.

I found the DLNA Certification for KDL-46EX501 model
REG03302057.pdf

Link added to the first top of the topic

[Illico]

Test continue....

I downloaded the sample of PaulBravia link and rename us, and share in C:\Sample local folder:
http://www.nextcomwireless.com/R5000/samples.htm
hbo_dtc_sd_MPEGTS-MPEG2-480x480-29.97fps-MP1L2-192Kbps-48KHz-Stereo.ts

hbo_trailer_dtc_MPEGTS-MPEG2-1280x1088-29.97fps-AC3-384Kbps-48KHz-Stereo.ts

I change Profile.xml like this for the test:

  Code:

   <Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>

      <MediaFormatProfiles>
         <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="MPEG_TS_SD_EU_ISO">MPEG_TS_SD_EU</MediaFormatProfile>
      </MediaFormatProfiles>
</Profile>

All files appears on Serviio/Video/Folders/Sample menu with thumbnail and that steam without transcode!! great.

[zip]

Hmm, interesting. Looks like mepgts has different mime type than it claims it supports... Maybe you don't even need the "name" attribute. You should do this for all mpegts formats (having mime type of video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts and change it to video/mpeg).

like:

  Code:

<MediaFormatProfiles>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">MPEG_TS_SD_EU</MediaFormatProfile>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_MP_SD_AAC_MULT5</MediaFormatProfile>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_MP_SD_MPEG1_L3</MediaFormatProfile>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_MP_SD_AC3</MediaFormatProfile>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AAC_MULT5</MediaFormatProfile>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_MP_HD_MPEG1_L3</MediaFormatProfile>
<!-- these are added in 0.4.2
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AC3</MediaFormatProfile>
 <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">AVC_TS_HD_50_LPCM_T</MediaFormatProfile> -->
</MediaFormatProfiles>

Test with following sample file:
Sample-BDAV-AVC-HL4.0-1280x720-25fps-AC3-192Kbps-48KHz-Stereo.m2ts

with following Profile.xml:

  Code:

   <Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>

      </MediaFormatProfiles>
   </Profile>

Another Sample file appears on menu without thumbnail and NOT work
Sample-MPEGTS-AVC-ML4.0-1920x1088-29.97fps-AC3-384Kbps-48KHz-Stereo.ts

That works

I'm not sure to understand!!

So,I try with following Profile.xml:

Hmm, ok, so maybe it needs the proper DLNA profile name, try this:

  Code:

            <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="MPEG_TS_SD_EU">AVC_TS_MP_SD_MPEG1_L3</MediaFormatProfile>
            <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="MPEG_TS_SD_EU">AVC_TS_MP_SD_AC3</MediaFormatProfile>

         </MediaFormatProfiles>
   </Profile>

Hmm, ok, so maybe it needs the proper DLNA profile name, try this:

Sorry but nothing run,
now the only profile that works is viewtopic.php?f=5&t=425&start=20#p2441

[zip]

Well these are all the profiles that Serviio supports (mpegts) that you need to get working, I think their names are quite descriptive, so you'll have to try until it works.

[Illico]

Thx

I updated the first post with "Profile.xml" for tonight, I'will continue another day...

Hmm, ok, so maybe it needs the proper DLNA profile name, try this:

I tested on my KDL-40WE5 get the icon but when select on TV get "Playback not Available"

  Code:

 <Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">

                </Video>

            </Transcoding>

         </Profile>


Best Profile so far, using Illico's MediaFormatProfile and removing <Matches container="mpegts" /> for no transcoding of MPEG-TS.

Looking at the sink file for 40EW5, there is mention of 50 and 60. Being from downunder we are PAL 50hz while the test samples are from HBO channel in USA being NTSC 60hz. Does this have to be catered for also in MediaFormatProfiles?

Well, all is great with this profile, the following files format were supported and tested
- AVI with VC1/MPEG4Xvid/MPEG4Divx5 video and MP3/AAC audio
- BDAV with AVC and AC3
- DIVX with MPEG4Divx5 and MP3
- MKV with AVC / MPEG4Divx5 and AAC/AC3
- MP4 with AVC / MPEG4 and AAC
- MPEG-TS with MPEG2 / and MP1L2 / AC3
- MPEG-PS with MPEG1 video and MP1L2 audio

One MOV file failed du to ffmpeg not supported transcode MPEG2 with 10fps of the sample file
One MP4 file failed due to ffmpeg not supported transcode MPEG2 with 15fps of the sample file
One MPEGTS failed due to ffmpeg not supported a non monotone timestamp of the sample file
