If the subtitles have to be burned into the video, then the file will be transcoded even if it isn't normally necessary.

Your file had bitmapped based subtitles. From version 1.6 Serviio now supports transcoding bitmapped subtitles, and it's on by default (as soon as you turn on "Enable burned-in subtitles" it will transcode your file, burning in the bitmapped subs to the output file).

I'm working from memory, but if you do want to support subtitles but not transcode for text or bitmapped subtitles, simple turn "Enable burned-in subtitles" off. If you need to burn in text subtitles but not worry about bitmapped titles you have to do this in the profile. To do so in the profile, replace:
  Code:
<Subtitles>
         <SoftSubs mime-type="text/srt" character-encoding="utf-8" />
 </Subtitles>
with
  Code:
<Subtitles>
   <SoftSubs mime-type="text/srt" character-encoding="utf-8" />
   <HardSubs>
      <BitmapBased supported="false"/>
   </HardSubs>
</Subtitles>
Save and restart.

Thank you for the support
Still no luck with DTS
I uncommented the line with dca but nothing happens, no audio transcoding
Why in the 4K profile no mention about hevc and only about mpegts?

Did you reboot the computer after uncommenting the line? Or at least restart the service (and not the server control on the Serviio console).

His profile inherits the generic profile, which already defines the HEVC codec, so it doesn't need to be referenced here. If you are referring to the line that specifies the target container and codecs, HEVC is not currently an allowed target codec.

Hello

Yes I restarted the service from website: Stop server/start server
Is it enough?

No - you must restart the Serviio service (from services.msc) or if unsure, reboot your PC.

PC restarted and now I cannot even see 4K without sound
Any that comes with DTS doesn't play anymore

Shall I attach profiles.xml?

Kind regards,

Yes, post you profiles.xml and we'll look at it. Plus
  • is it the same file as above (Allegiant)? If not post MediaInfo for the file
  • check whether Serviio is transcoding the file (see posts above)
  • did this file play using the Generic profile

Profile attached

<playback/> - http://localhost:23423/rest/playback-status
No transcoding

Generic does play everything
mkv, x264, hevc, you name it

Remove (or comment out) this line:

  Code:
<Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />  <!-- Uncomment this line if DTS is not supported natively -->
Restart your PC and see if that works.

After that it rendering 4K Allegiant but there is one problem with John Wick 4K. No rendering and it shows it as Video and that's all
What about DTS sound? How can we solve this issue? Why not transcoding audio files?

Kind regards,
Bogdan

John Wick 4K working because I added those 2 lines:
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="dts-hd" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="truehd" />
What about DTS?

You've lost me - the 4k Allegiant was DTS wasn't it? And it's now working?

In Serviio DTS is matched using the aCodec="dca" ..... which we removed to get Allegiant working.

if there are other files not working, you need to post MediaInfo details for them so we can see what codecs are being used.

Sorry, my mistake
When I deleted that line I can see videos with DTS sound, but only video. Audio is not supported of course
Allegiant has DTS-HD MA and I can't hear it as well as all that has DTS/DTS-HD MA
But after "dca" line was removed I finally am able to watch those file but no audio
Let's use Allegiant mediainfo. I have no sound on it, ok?

If you add to this section:

    <Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="dca" />
and restart, what happens (this should now transcode DTS as well as DTS-HD)?

Hello everyone

I finally solved the mistery:
Do you see any difference between first 3 lines and the other pack of 3 lines?
DTS goes first in order. Well, my TV Panasonic TX-CX800 doesn't like it

<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="dca" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="dts-hd" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="truehd" />

But it likes this format below:
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="dts-hd" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="truehd" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" aCodec="dca" />

Same goes for FullHD x264

<Matches container="*" aCodec="dts-hd" />
<Matches container="*" aCodec="truehd" />
<Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />

Now every movie I have sound in DTS, DTS-HD MA or TrueHD it is working whether it's x264 or x265

I will try though to activate subtitles as they disabled right now and will let you know if there is any difference

One question: How can I transcode audio like FLAC7.1 and DTS:X? There are such audio formats inside some movies. For example I have 'The Revenant' 4K but with FLAC 7.1 audio and my TV doesn't recognize this

Let's put this thread as solved people and anytime 4K TVs from Panasonic are in question please send this link to anybody

Kind regards,
Bogdan

Just a guess on my part, as I don't have any media with these codecs, but I would expect Atmos and DTS:X to appear as TrueHD and DTS-MA to the decoder. For FLAC 7.1, it might be an FFMPEG issue. I did a quick web search and there appears to be some issues with 7.1 audio overall.
