DLNA Not playing certain formats

I have a VIZIO smart tv and use DLNA to stream from my home server to my VIZIO Smart TV --> I have the profile in Serviio set to be Vizio TV and under Delivery --> Transcoding, I have checked Enable Transcoding
Transcoding Location: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\
Number of CPU cores to use: 8
Produce the best video quality: checked
Audio Channels: Keep Original

However, when I attempt to stream specific .mp4 files - I get an onscreen error that says Audio not supported Video not supported. I thought my on-the-fly encoding would be able to handle this, but it is not. What must I change in order for these type files to be played appropriately?

Running Windows 10 - enabled DEBUG and this is log as it is 36,733

This looks like the pertinent line in my log
  Code:
2017-01-27 12:13:57,457 DEBUG [MediaItemDAOImpl] Getting file of media item 20539
2017-01-27 12:13:57,458 WARN  [ResourceDeliveryProcessor] Error while processing resource, sending back 404 error. Message: E:\TV Shows\Westworld.1973.1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AG].mp4 (The system cannot find the file specified)
2017-01-27 12:14:15,205 DEBUG [SearchManager] Committing search index


I also tried to rename the file to Westworld.1973.mp4 to see if the hyphen was the issue, and it is not, same error thrown. I think it is an issue with the profile I selected, as I ran this command through terminal
  Code:
"C:\Program Files\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe" -threads auto -i "E:\TV Shows\Westworld.1973.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4" -y -threads auto -c:v mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv420p -qscale:v 1 -r 25 -g 15 -c:a ac3 -b:a 128k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob "E:\TV Shows\Westworld.1973.1080p.BluRay.x264.mpg"


And serviio can play the .mp4 file that was generated no problem!

Re: DLNA Not playing certain formats

I have recently encountered problems when transcoding videos containing HD audio. Since you appear to be using a Blu Ray rip, I am assuming you have either TrueHD or DTS Master Audio in the file. Not sure why you are getting the video error. The Vizio profile seems to transcode almost everything.

Re: DLNA Not playing certain formats

Post MediaInfo details for one of the files that doesn't play. What are your settings under Transcoding (include all audio tracks in particular).
Could Bea library issue. Have you recently upgraded Serviio and if so, has the library fully updated? Try making a copy of the file and check that it's added to the library properly (in the log) and then see if it plays.
