I had transcoding of WMV files working by default in 0.62. Now I delted it and installed 1.x (both on Linux).

I have a Samsung UE C6200 TV. I edited the Profile id="7" section in profiles.xml to transcode all WMV files by default. Still it does not play on my Samsung TV.

Here is the section I added:

Code::  <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="20000"> <Matches container="asf" /> </Video>

Can I get this working somehow? Also I would like to transcode all FLV files so they run on my TV. How do I do that?

Thanks,
sampy

ASF files should normally play without transcoding on the C series. FLV is already set up in the C/D/E profile.

Make sure you're using the proper profile. If you do, enable detailed logging and post it here incl playing the asf file.

I tried to isolate the part where I press play on a FLV file followed by the error. Can you make any sense of this?

In case this is important: the folder '/tmp/Serviio' does exist.

Posted: **Tue Sep 25, 2012 1:29 pm**

Run the command

ffmpeg -i /media/Data/_downloads/DIY/BAUHAUS/h_tapezieren.flv -y -threads 1 -copyts -c:v mpeg2video -b:v 20000k -maxrate:v 20000k -bufsize:v 20000k -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -c:a ac3 -b:a 48k -ac 1 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-320-7-ORIGINAL.stf

and post the output. It will show the errors that caused ffmpeg to fail. Unfortunately Serviio does not display these messages in its log.

When I use avconv instead of ffmpeg it transcodes the file successfully. I just played it in VLC.

Maybe Serviio can just use avconv on Linux instead of ffmpeg?

Posted: **Tue Sep 25, 2012 7:56 pm**

You really should use the latest ffmpeg, having said that, add -Dffmpeg.location=/path/to/avconv to the JAVA_OPTS line at the bottom of serviio.sh and Serviio will use it

Posted: **Tue Sep 25, 2012 8:30 pm**

I will try that. Thanks!

I have the default ffmpeg 4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 that comes with Ubuntu. What should I do to install the current ffmpeg?

I think avconv is just a wrapper around ffmpeg, right?

Posted: **Tue Sep 25, 2012 8:39 pm**

There is a guide on the wiki under Linux.

Posted: **Wed Sep 26, 2012 7:57 am**

The tip to include avconv in serviio.sh worked great. Thanks!!!

Maybe Serviio could check the ffmpeg version or something like that and warn the user via Swing-Dialog that something is wrong with ffmpeg.

Cheers,
