PS59D8000 + MKV = 'Not Supported File Format'

Hi,

I'm not sure what I'm missing - I have a Samsung PS59D8000 (Series 8) TV and have setup Servio on you main PC (Win 7 Ultimate x64). I can stream AVI files fine to the the TV and Servio even lists the MKV files, but when I go to play them I get an error "Not Supported File Format".

Things I have tried:
-No MKV codecs on my PC
-Installing CCCP Codec Pack (2011-11-11)
-Restarting the PC Multiple times
-Renaming *.mkv extension to *.avi
-One or 2 other codec packs

Any help on how to get to the bottom of this issue would be very much appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Glenn

Re: PS59D8000 + MKV = 'Not Supported File Format'

1, 2, and 5 - codecs on the pc running serviio are meaningless as serviio uses its internal codecs to read the files (ffmpeg.exe)
3 - with no actual changes restarting wont do much
4 - serviio ignore the file extension and get the container information from the file itself (ffmpeg.exe -i)

is this all MKV files or just ceratin mkv files ?

can you provide information on the files that do not play? (see signature for HowTo )

Hi,

Thanks for the fast reply :D

All MKV files do not play - I have tried multiple TV shows from various release groups. Info below are requested:

Re: PS59D8000 + MKV = 'Not Supported File Format'

ok so that file is sent to the device natvely as it is support by the device, so file must have some strange encoding that is causing the TV to refuse to play it.

and seems strange that this information is not shown in the readout.

Re: PS59D8000 + MKV = 'Not Supported File Format'

again that file is sent to the device natively, now you can try transcoding all matroska files and see if that works, but there nothing to say they will then play.

if that what u choose to do just find

  Code:
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpeg2video" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />


and replace with

  Code:
            <Matches container="matroska" />

Re: PS59D8000 + MKV = 'Not Supported File Format'

Hello People,

I have a Samsung J series TV with Tizen OS. Two months ago I had the firmware version 1460 and what helped me to play a file which "format was not supported of" was I simply deleted the Transcoding section in %PROGRAMFILES%\Serviio\config\profiles.xml. However this must be a rude intervention and not recommended workaround it worked for me and I have had less of those "Not Supported File Format" messages and files have been playing OK on my TV since.

Return to Samsung
