mpeg1 and dlna in samsung es6800

Hello there,
I've decided to ask for help in the forums after strugling with this issue for the past weeks. My problem is that I can't play mpeg1 files (taken from a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 camera) through serviio.

here some hard data to help you helping me:

. Serviio 1.21 on Windows 7
. Renderer is Samsung ES6800
. Wired connection
. Profile is Samsung TV / player (C/D/E-series) but also tried with a few more, including the generic one
. The TV CAN play the files from an USB port
. I've tried transcoding but nothing

An important thing to mention is that I've found some kind of workaround with an old program called "MPEG-Corrector". I think it modifies the file header but not sure what it does exactly.
The down side is that i have to do it for each file and is very time consuming with all the videos we are generating lastly (and having a wife and a new born does not help at all!! )

I would also state in this, my first post, that I've tried a lot of dlna servers and I found serviio being the best option by far. Great work, Petr.

Thanks in advance guys and greetings from Argentina

can you post detailed serviio logs after trying to play the file?

[zip]

try to add this line

  Code:

<Matches container="mpeg" vCodec="mpeg1video" />

to the C/D/E profile after

  Code:

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="mjpeg" />

Hi Petr,
your suggestion did the trick! However, I noticed the following:

. No FForward or Rewind
. Incorrect file duration reading. The TV shows 1h 3m and 27s for all videos. Also, the TV is not retrieving the file size (just FYI, not important to me)
. Pop up message on the TV "this file may not be playable propertly" at the beggining of each reproduction
. And most important: Serviio drops after playing the first or second video, randomly. Sometimes the error is "Device disconnected. Device name: Serviio" and sometimes is "Check your network connection". All files are 1 - 5 mins duration. MPEG-Corrector seems to fix this problem. Just wishing not to use it for each file

Attaching a detailed log in case it helps

hi guys..any word?

[zip]

first two are expected. the other 2 I'm not sure, might be caused by FFmpeg (try a newer version), TV, network...
