Hi There,
I have been using Serviio for a while and it's great, just bought a new video camera that records XVAC S in a MP4 containing which is not supported by my TV or Blu-ray. I have set transcoding up on Serviio and it's still not delivering this file. Its a .MP4 file. Is that correct or is it my setup?

Many Thanks in advance

Can you show us the transcoding line(s) you added? Also, after you edited the Profiles.xml file, did you either restart the Serviio service (not the console) or reboot the computer?

Hi there, thanks for you reply. I have not modified any of the profiles. I am a complete novice with no idea how to do that, tried all the standard Samsung ones. The camcorder can also record AVCHD 50p and these too cannot be transcoded and played on the blu-Ray :-( . If I use AVCHD at 50i to works fine. Would ideally like to record in the highest quality as possible so XVAC S would be ideal.

OK, then please provide the media info on one of the files. You can do this with a program called MediaInfo (Windows), or FFMPEG can do it from the command line:
  Code:
ffmpeg -i file name


You might need to type the full path to either FFMPEG and/or the video file. If there are any spaces in either path, or the file name, make sure you enclose the path in quotes.
