Serviio

Hi there

I have a Samsung LE40B651 TV and have issues with MP4 files using Serviio 1.4.2 Revision 1 on QNAP TS-859U over DLNA.

I really can't tell why but all MP4 files over DLNA give this error "unsupported file format". When i use Serviio 1.4.1.2 on my PC the same files play flawlessly.
I have tried alot of diferent things (changing profiles, enable/disable transcoding) but i guess something is very wrong.

All MP4 files (most of them) are in the right format (video: h264 High@L4.1, video: aac lc).

They even play directly from a USB pen connected to the TV.

Can someone please give some pointers.

Thank you so much.

EDIT: So far MKV/AVI play ok both from QNAP and PC

Hi

I found that the main problem its the MP4 container and not the video/audio inside.
After reading a lot of posts in this forum i found a couple of solutions.

1. Remux MP4 files without transcoding using ffmpeg:

Code:: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy newvideo.mp4

2. Force trancoding by editing profiles.xml. In "Samsung TV (B-series)" add the following lines-

Code:: <Video targetContainer="m2ts" targetACodec="aac"> <Matches container="mp4" aCodec="aac" /> </Video>

Hope this helps...
