Hi, I have a file that cannot be played on my TV (Samsung D Series). The codec is not supported, so I want it to be transcoded. My file info is this one:

Code:: ID : 1 Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main@L4@Main Codec ID : V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC Duration : 1h 4mn Width : 1 916 pixels Height : 1 076 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Constant Frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Default : Yes Forced : No Color range : Limited Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 DURATION : 01:04:44.047000000 NUMBER_OF_FRAMES : 93124 NUMBER_OF_BYTES : 791778371 _STATISTICS_WRITING_APP : mkvmerge v8.4.0 ('A better way to fly') 64bit _STATISTICS_WRITING_DATE_UTC : 2015-10-14 09:43:39 _STATISTICS_TAGS : BPS DURATION NUMBER_OF_FRAMES NUMBER_OF_BYTES

Can I add a profile that forces to transcode these files?

Thanks

What profile are you currently using?
Post MediaInfo detail for the file (see my signature) as it may be the audio stream that is not supported.

Actually it was Mediainfo. Here is all the info. Thanks!

Serviio does not yet support HE-AAC. See ticket https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... c-aac_latm

I'm not sure, but I think it is that HE-AAC is not yet distinguished from normal AAC in Serviio. You may be able to therefore add this to the Samsung C/D profile:

Code:: <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384"> <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="aac" aMultichannel="true" /> </Video>

to the profile just below the <Transcoding> statement. This will re-encode your audio - unfortunately it will do so for all AAC with more than 2 channels (including normal AAC with multi-channels). But it will give you a way forward until the ticket is implemented.

As always, restart the Serviio service (or your PC) after changing profile.xml.
