Transcoding PANASONIC VIERA P55VTW60
Hello to the community,
Sorry if someone has already asked this, but could just find a similar topic with my problem but no explanation or solution.
I'm using Serviio with a PANASONIC VIERA P55VTW60 using the Panasonic 2013 profile. Maybe because I've misunderstood its functionality, I disabled the "Enable Transcoding" option on the Serviio server because I don't want the videos to be reencoded but instead to be streamed transparently to the TV in their original audio and video format as well. Unfortunately, my TV seems to have problems with AVC profiles higher than 4.1. When I play some video with a 5.0 profile, for example, the video jerks totally and it plays like in a cutten fast forward mode. If I enable the transcoding option, this problems seems to be solved so I assume that Serviio transcodes the video due to its higher AVC profile to some natively supported by the TV AVC profile. What I don't know up to know is, if when I enable this option Serviio then transcodes automatically EVERY video that I play on the TV, even if it really does not need it, which would result in some quality loss in audio and video.
If the latter case is true, Is there an option or way to edit the profiles so I can specify to Serviio which folders/files it should transcode? The thing is, most of my videos play quite well natively and without transcoding on the TV and I would like to provide the solution just for the files that have a higher AVC profile or need forcely to be transcoded.
Hope you guys can provide some clarification to me in this topic. Any info and explanations how the thing works will be really appreciated!
Best regards,
GJ
