2.0 Media Browser Roku Ultra

HI
I upgraded to 2.0
I bought a new Pro license.
I Created a user in the console.
I Assigned that user to each shared folder
I Changed the Roku Ultra connection from Chaneru to Roku 4k Media player (2016+)
I reboot my PC
Results:
when i log onto the Media browser either from localhost or remotely, i get no media shown
It accepts my login but immediately returns to the login screen.
If i use an incorrect password, then it tells me so i know that i am logging on correctly.
Also my Roku Ultra cannot play most of my library. So i changed it back to Chaneru and it plays.

I was hoping that 2.0 would fix the Roku thing. Plus as of right now, it has broke my MediaBrowser.
I am sure that i am not doing something right. It all use to work well until i purchased 2 ROKU ULTRAs.
And now its worse because the remote access is broken with 2.0.
I am tired of looking at logs and config files. But realize that i must do it all again.
Its a great product when it works, I am just in a slump.
Any help would be appreciated.
The Roku thing i think has something to do with the ultra not being able to process AAC or something like that. I had some movies not doing the audio part, but now its not doing video.
An example of a video that does not play on the roku with the roku profile but works with the chaneru profile has media info as follows:
1. Video MPEG-4 (divX 5)
2. Audio MPEG AUDIO (mp3)
3. AVI envelope

Thanks

I am the author of the Roku profiles. If you could provide the media info for media that won't play, using the ffmpeg -i command, I can see if there's a combination I overlooked. Also, for your Ultra you should be using the 4K with MPEG2 support, as your Ultra now supports that video codec. It's possible your combination of video/audio codec and container is something that I haven't captured.

With Serviio 2.0, all Roku profiles have been updated to use HLS transcoding for all formats except one. The reason for this is it permits Trick Play to function (FF, rewind and resume). For some reason, VC-1 video doesn't like HLS, so it remains using mpegts transcoding.

I can access MediaBrowser without issue using Chrome as my browser. Haven't tried any other browsers. I haven't encountered the login issue you mention, but it does sometimes take a few moments for the browser window to load the videos. This started several versions ago, and isn't specific to version 2.0.

Thanks Dan
1. Media Browser use to work prior to upgrade to 2.0
2. After Upgrade and setting up profiles, It does not work.
a. Not in Chrome
b. Not in FireFox

Regarding Playback on the Roku:
I switched the profile to "Roku 4k with MPEG2"

With all of these i get this message on the Roku Playback Screen:
"The codec used to compress the audio is not supported"

Here is the ffmpeg -i for 6 movies that work using chaneru but not Roku4k w/MPEG2:

Thanks

Thanks for that Jerry. I don't have a Matches line for MP3 audio, as Roku is supposed to play that natively. I'll have to look at the Chaneru profile to see how they are handling it, but I'll probably have to add a new line for that. I've never seen a mono audio track on a video before.

If you're OK with testing a new profile, I'll post one here to try and we'll see if we can get it working. I don't have any files with MP3 audio, so can't test it myself.

[atc98092]

OK, I can see why Chaneru is working for those files. That profile basically captures almost everything and transcodes to H.264 video and AAC audio. Looking at all the various Roku profiles, I do have an AVI Matches line (<Matches container="avi" />). I can't see any earlier matches line that might catch your files, and even if they did they all transcode the audio to AC3.

What would probably help is a detailed log showing the attempt to play one of the files with no sound. Perhaps there's something catching the file that I'm overlooking.

In the meantime, try this user profile file. It contains two different profiles. Copy it into your Serviio/config folder, restart Serviio (or reboot the computer) then select the "Roku 4K Test Profile" for your player. Let me know if the audio works with it. If not, try the profile named "Roku 4K Test Profile 2". It might be that the only way those files will transcode the audio is by using AAC as the output, like Chaneru does. This second profile does that, so it that works, we know what to do.
