Serviio

I have a Samsung D series TV and a Samsung D series BR player.
Both are recognized by Serviio and utilize the same Samsung C/D Profile.

When accessing the Earth-Touch feeds that are all .mov files that transcode, all play correctly if accessed by the BR, but if accessed by the TV I get Invalid Video Codec.

Using this feed as an example:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bestofea ... _voice.mov

Here is the ffmpeg -i output:

Code:: C:\Users\John>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Serviio\lib\ffmpeg.exe" -i http://feedprox y.google.com/~r/bestofearthtouch-hd/~5/6MHDuu9WAFA/BOF0311_QT720_voice.mov ffmpeg version N-31480-g8bc3a48, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers built on Jul 14 2011 23:37:53 with gcc 4.4.2 configuration: --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-ffplay --disable-ffs erver --enable-memalign-hack --enable-libmp3lame --enable-librtmp --extra-libs=' -lrtmp -lpolarssl -lws2_32 -lwinmm' --arch=x86 --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enab le-pthreads --target-os=mingw32 --cross-prefix=i686-mingw32- --pkg-config=pkg-co nfig libavutil 51. 11. 0 / 51. 11. 0 libavcodec 53. 8. 0 / 53. 8. 0 libavformat 53. 6. 0 / 53. 6. 0 libavdevice 53. 2. 0 / 53. 2. 0 libavfilter 2. 25. 0 / 2. 25. 0 libswscale 2. 0. 0 / 2. 0. 0 [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 003e8d80] max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 501 3333 Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 5000.00 (5000 /1) -> 25.00 (25/1) Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/bestofea rthtouch-hd/~5/6MHDuu9WAFA/BOF0311_QT720_voice.mov': Metadata: major_brand : qt minor_version : 537199360 compatible_brands: qt creation_time : 2011-06-09 11:43:12 Duration: 00:03:41.37, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 4704 kb/s Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p, 1280x720, 4569 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 2500 tbn, 5k tbc Metadata: creation_time : 2011-06-09 11:43:12 Stream #0.1(eng): Data: tmcd / 0x64636D74, 0 kb/s Metadata: creation_time : 2011-06-09 11:43:12 Stream #0.2(eng): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 127 kb/s Metadata: creation_time : 2011-06-09 11:43:12 At least one output file must be specified

And attached is the log showing the play back on the BR (:64) and failure on the TV (:65)

How do I get them to play on the TV?

online transcoding needs to be setup for the D series devices.

That's no help. The profile obviously works for the D series BR so why not the D series TV.

cause the BR does not always have same support as the TV.

If you can't help please refrain from responding. Its obvious that the transcoding is to MPEG and to suggest that the TV cannot support MPEG is ....

two types it can be transcoded to though mpegps and mpegts, both will give different results. try this.

Code:: <OnlineTranscoding> <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384"> <Matches container="mp4"/> </Video> <Audio targetContainer="lpcm"> <Matches container="flv"/> <Matches container="flac" /> <Matches container="ogg" /> </Audio> </OnlineTranscoding>

Thanks Phil. I appreciated that. I had forgotten that c/d added to b.

I tried it but the TV still gives unsupported video codec, and the BR plays the ts the same as it plays the ps.

I think I'll raise a ticket.

yer im not sure how MOV files are handled by serviio. so i might have the wrong match container. someone like illico needs to take a look or as u said might be a bug in serviio to do with MOV files in online sources.

OK, I've raised a ticket for the fact that the transcoded .mov (.mp4) streams will not play, but I've solved the problem by eliminating the transcoding of online .mp4 streams because both the Series D BR and TV will play .mp4 natively. To do this you have to comment out the .mp4 line in both the default(1) and B series(2) profiles.

The correct solution to this per zip is to add the following to the C/D profile:

<OnlineTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
<Matches container="mp4"/>
<Matches container="flv"/>
</Video>
<Audio targetContainer="mp3">
<Matches container="flv"/>
</Audio>
</OnlineTranscoding>

This remuxes the streams into a TS container and the Series D plays the online stream correctly. Per zip the online streams must be muxed since they can fail if left in their native state.
