Ubuntu Server, Sony 32W5500, Sony 22S5700 and Sony PS3

After trying out a number of servers including PS3 Media server, coherence, geebox, mediatomb etc, and this one gave me the least trouble out of all of them.

Thank you so much for this program.

Hi

I have a sony 46w5800 and 0.4.2 server running on bsd.
Did you manage to have some video working ? even without transcoding ? all the folders are empty on my side, only pictures and songs work fine.
I have ffmpeg (0.5) installed and properly recognized by serviio

any help would be much appreciated !

thx

Is it 2009 Bravia? If yes, look here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=429

Hi Petr

Yes it is. I looked at this thread but was not clear on:
- the ad hoc profile for 09 bravia's was finalized/working
- this ad hoc profile was actually already included in the 0.4.2

let me play back the thread but I feel like I am likely to get back to you guys. hopefully I could add some pieces to the issue.

Ok, so here I am:
1- I modified the profiles.xml so that the bravia section looks like this:
<Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">

2- ffmpeg -i on aladdin.fr gives the following output:

I kind of do not like the ffmpeg error, not sure how to tackle that ?!

Petr, one more thing. I could not get mkv or mp4 working with ps3 media server on my freenas box, but avis such as the aladdin.avi I am referring to were fine.
I checked the .conf file of ps3 media server to see if I could get something from there, but I am lacking knowledge as far as video formats...

I am pasting it here, don't know if that rings a bell to anyone.

What version of FFmpeg do you have on the NAS? Did you build one from the sources on serviio website?

[fafa]

Hi Petr - thanks for the follow-up

I have the one built-in with freenas 0.7,eg apparently ffmpeg 0.5.

I downloaded the tar provided on your website but freenas does not feature gcc and I have absolutely no clue how to install it on freenas.
One option would be to install freebsd on another machine, compile ffmpeg and transfer the binaries but before going that uncertain road I wonder if there is another easier solution ...

You can see in the log this command:

  Code:

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -threads 2 -i /mnt/raid1/shared/MediaLibrary/Movies/Kids/Disney - Longs/Aladdin - I II/Aladdin.avi -y -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25.0 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 192k -sn -f vob /mnt/sgt160/temp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-197-MPEG2PS.stf

you can try running it on ffmpeg 0.5 (ideally from your NAS) and latest ffmpeg to see if one crashes and the other doesn't.

[fafa]

ok, on ffmpeg 0.5 (built-in version) it gives:

freenas:/mnt# /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -threads 2 -i '/mnt/raid1/shared/MediaLibrary/Movies/Kids/Disney - Longs/Aladdin - I II/Aladdin.avi' -y -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25.0 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 192k -sn -f vob /mnt/sgt160/temp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-197-MPEG2PS.stf

so command does crash but I have to say I am not sure how to deal with that...

[zip]

I'd say install FreeBSD on a VM (e.g. http://www.virtualbox.org/), compile FFmpeg from the provided sources in it and try that on the NAS. You can even specify the new ffmpeg version with -Dffmpeg.location attribute.

[fafa]

Hey there

Well, I have to say this has been one of the most frustrating attempt I did.
Vm box installed on xp, got freebsd 7.3 running but impossible the compile the ffmpeg sources on your web site petr, make won't execute properly although all dependencies are ok (I added them one by one).

After ./configure ran properly I got a set of messages like
"Makefile", line 1: could not find config.mak
"Makefile", line 5: Missing dependency operator
....
Error expanding embedded variable

I also tried gmake but still no luck.

Geee, this is tricky ....

[zip]

try to get the latest sources of ffmpeg from ffmpeg.org and compile those

yeah I did, all I had to do was set up the profile to use in serviio-console.
