How to play MOV and MTS files

Hi, my name is Flavio and I have a Samsung UN40B7000 (a "B" Series) and even with Serviio it doesn´t play MOV (Quicktime) and MTS (AVCHD) files (both of files generated from my Panasonic Lumix pocket camera). I tried to edit the "profiles.xml" but everytime that I do the program crashes. Below I post the ffmpeg -i

I hope you can help to play them, thanks

The mts file, I'm not sure, it looks ok. Could you post mediaInfo result of the file?

The mov will need to be transcoded, try to replace the Samsung B profile with this:

  Code:

Thanks for the reply!!! I applied the config that you suggested and it worked to transcode MOV files! But it wasn´t clear for me what kind of transcoding it was used. I could understand that the "mp4" container will be decoded with "mjpeg" codec and after encoded with "mpeg2video" codec, am I right?

About the MTS file, the file runs only the video, but no audio. My camera record it in AVCHD Lite mode for video and AC-3 stereo for Audio. It´s kind of weird because the TV reads MKV with AC-3 audio, maybe this one is a little bit different AC-3 and the TV doesn´t recognize it to play. I think that it need to be transcoded, but I don´t know if just a little change at the header is sufficient, or if it have to be transcoded to other audio format, just to make it more "compartible" with the tv.

Yes, transcodes mjpeg into mpeg2video and the lpcm sound into ac3. Try adding aBitrate="256" (or 384) to the second Video config element, like this:

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" aBitrate="256">

Well, the MOV file is been transcoded and I can whatch it at TV, it´s ok, but about the MTS file, the audio (AC-3) is still missing when playing. I think that there is no way to solve it because Serviio knows that AC-3 is already supported by the TV so it just doesn´t do transconding, and if it does, I think that it will transcode every AC-3, even those that are in my MKV files that, today, plays flawsless without transcoding. I don´t know if I can configure Serviio to do AC-3 transcoding just for files with the ".MTS" extension in the filename, is it possible? Otherwise, I think that I have to work on these files and recode it to anything else do make it playable, thanks

You could try to add this into the profile (transcode to mpegts with ac3 to mpegts with mp3), but you'll lose 5.1 channels (will be stereo)

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="mp3">
  <Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="ac3" />
</Video>

thanks for the reply, the MOV files are running ok, and the issue about the MTS file with no audio, I decided to convert it to something else, thanks
