Serviio

I’m using a Samsung UE55D8090 SmartTV and Serviio v0.6.1 running on a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium. In the Serviio console I have selected the profile “Samsung TV / player (C/D)-series)” and I have made no changes in the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Serviio\config\profies.xml.
Many video files (MPEG-2 TS, MKV, MP4, FLV, MOV) are streamed correctly to my SmartTV, but WMV1 files do not get streamed.
What would you recommend in order to support also the streaming of WMV1 video files?

Serviio doesn't distinguish between wmv1 wmv2 and vmw3. So you can either transcode all or reencode your video.

Sorry to say, but your comment "Serviio doesn't distinguish between wmv1 wmv2 and vmw3. So you can either transcode all or reencode your video." does not help me. May be it's because I am a new user of Serviio.
Do I have to make any changes in the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Serviio\config\profies.xml ? If yes, which changes are necessary?
In the Serviio console, section "Trancoding" the option "Enable trancoding" is set.
Sorry for asking again.

no he saying the video file themselves need to be remade as they are at fault not serviio itself

Is there any way to tell Serviio to make a live conversion of the wmv1 file during streaming. On my PC both Windows Media Player and VLC play the wmv1 file, therefore the necessary codecs are available on the PC.

no

there are 3 versions of wmv and Serviio doesn't distinguish between them. The TV can play wmv2 and possibly 3 without transcoding, That's why it's not setup.

You have 2 options:
1) if you only have a couple of wmv1 files reencode them manually into avi or similar
2) if you have a lot you can enable transcoding in profiles.xml (in C/D profile):

find this line:



and add this after it:

Dear zip,
thank you so much for your support. Changing profiles.xml in the way you supposed solved my problem.
