Mpeg 4 not playing on Panasonic Vierra TV
Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2011 10:25 pm
Hi,
Firstly, thanks for Serviio, its the most useful software I have used in many years.
I am not a big techie, and managed to play all my media files using Serviio on my Panasonic TV. That is until I changed my PC and re-installed the latest version of Serviio.
Not my panasonic wont play any MP4 files. I am adding the media info for one of the files which wont play.
Also adding the transcoding profile for panasonic, I made a few tweaks and could have over-engineered here with my limited knowledge. The renderer profile is set to Panasoinc Vierra in the Console.
