iTunes MP4/H.264 video not woring with my D series

I purchased and transcoded iTunes video. There are the only films that I cannot see on my TV using serviio. I already tried to understand the profiles XML to work it around by myself, but I wasn't clever enough. Thus I am asking for help.

Setup:
SAMSUNG D series TV, MacMini, Serviio 0.5.2. Client configured as C/D series.

FFMPEG from one of the files:

Can you play the file in an ordinary player (non iTunes) on your PC (eg VLC)? I'm thinking it might be DRM protected file and therefore not playable. You could also try playing in on your TV from USB stick.

Thanks for the quick reply. I already removed the DRM, it is NOT protected. I can play it using VLC and also I can play it using another DLNA (TVmobili). To make things short: It's playable by all but serviio.

Can you post detailed log of when you attempt to play the file?

I completely stopped the processes, erased all logs, edited the config to DEBUG and restarted. Went straight to the folders part and tried to play the Inside Job mp4.
All I can see in the new log file is:


2011-09-07 15:36:22,180 WARN [VideoDeliveryEngine] Cannot resolve DLNA format p
rofile of the original file: Inside Job.mp4. Message: MP4 video file Inside Job.
mp4 does not match any supported DLNA profile


That's the only line containing the name of the video in the log.

Re: iTunes MP4/H.264 video not woring with my D series

Right, it's because DLNA spec doesn't support MP3 audio in high definition H246/mov video file. You could setup transcoding to ac3 or reencode the file to ac3/aac yourself. I'll see if I can hack it in the next version as it is a supported native format of the TV (albeit not DLNA supported).

I've added the ticket and will add support for this file to 0.6

Thanks a lot.
Do you have a quick line for me to put in the config? I already tried it (as I thought that mp3 might be the problem) but was not successful. Might be because I have not really an idea on how the XML structure works (I never used XML before, honestly).
Thanks!

Thanks,

I found it on my own and it's working: I added the middle line of the "matches" (just for the records):


<Transcoding>
<!-- transcode H264 MP4 files with LPCM audio -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
<Matches container="mp4" aCodec="lpcm" />
<Matches container="mp4" aCodec="mp3" />
<Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
