Kodi / Sony BDP not playing AAC 5.1-files. FFmpeg problem?
I already made this (very complicated) post, but no answers, so I deleted it and made this one.
System:
-Ubuntu 14.04 with Kodi (has Serviio server on it) with compiled FFmpeg.
-Mint 17.1 with Kodi
-Sony BDP-S4100
-Sony BDP-S4500
Trying to:
-Convert AAC 5.1 --> AC3 5.1 on Serviio
What is happening on AAC files:
-Will not play at all
What is happening on all other formats:
-Everything plays just fine on every hardware / software.
So I am testing all above mentioned players and need to get Serviio to transcode AAC 5.1 to AC3 5.1. I am using Sony BDP-Sx100 -profile on everyone.
I added the proper lines to this profile in /config/profiles.xml
And it looks like this --> http://kuvapilvi.fi/k/ywMP.jpg
Neither Sony player or Kodi plays anything with AAC audio now, but DTS and AC3 works fine (for example), If I remove that transcode-section from the profiles.xml, everything works on every hardware / software, but now I have only stereo audio on Blu-ray players. (Fault is either the player or the amplifier)
Kodi does not play AAC-files through serviio on Sx100-profile, but on the server Kodi plays same files directly from the hard drive just fine.
If I understand correctly Kodi uses FFmpeg to play these files while playing directly from that machines hard drive. Am I correct? So if that works, why the transcoding does not?
Also tried installing FFmpeg like the following:
Using the prementioned mc3man-install, AAC video plays in all other players transcoded, but not the newest S4500. Processor on my server machine just goes to 100% and player freezes, have to reset player by pulling the plug. That is the reason I am trying to use compiled version, If I can overcome that problem with S4500.
I compiled FFmpeg with three different ways, including Serviio own guide, and FFmpeg own guide, and then combined the two and some other, and all installations have this same problem.
"ffmpeg -version" gives out following:
At least I should be able to make this work with Kodi.
Btw, I also posted feature request to add Sony BDPx500 profile --> viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22122&p=109150#p109150
