Sony Bravia 2009 Series KDL-40WE5

For testing could you try this?

Unfortunately Illico that profile was a bit catastrophic on my poor old KDL-40WE5 - it really spat the dummy.
All my videos disappeared and only the DivX HD Plus (MKV with H.264 + AAC) were left, even the sample Mpeg_ts videos from HBO were gone.

I had to fall back to

  Code:

<Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
           
            <Detection>
                <X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
            </Detection>                   

            <Transcoding>
                <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" maxVBitrate="15360">
                   <Matches container="asf" />
                   <Matches container="avi" />
                   <Matches container="matroska" />
                   <Matches container="mp4" />
                   <Matches container="mpegts" />                   
                </Video>
            </Transcoding>

         </Profile>


I think Serviio must have some kind of inbuilt index working database, as it would not fall back at first, kept saying no items founds - index database got highly fragmented with too many changes. I ended up uninstalling Serviio and re-installing and updating the profiles.xml file for Sony Bravia TV as shown.
Maybe we need several profiles like the Samsung TV afterall.

...All my videos disappeared and only the DivX HD Plus (MKV with H2,264 + AAC) were left, even the sample Mpeg_ts videos from HBO were gone.

It was the purpose of the test I just wanted to verify that only MKV (with h264) and AVI (with h264) files stayed.
Nevertheless, can you confirm that it continues to work for these files mkv and avi?

I tried combining the two i.e if HD video then remux mpeg-ts otherwise mpeg, but now things are unpredicable and the Divx HD Plus MKV files disappear altogether.

I am not in front of my TV, so I can't test, but this evening, I'll test the following profile on my EX500

  Code:

Hi Illico, really starting to take shape now.

1) All plays OK now except for DivX Plus HD MKV sample video like "Iron_Man_2-DivXPlusHD", I get 'playback not available'. Maybe you have to check for audio codec aac instead.

http://www.divx.com/en/electronics/solu ... s-hd/video

Maybe this is where the 2009 and 2010 Bravia models are diferentiated. I notice there is no AAC in the KDL-40WE5 sink file but there is 'AVC_TS_JP_AAC_T' in KDL-46EX501. Maybe needs further investigation.

2) The 'sample_iTunes' MOV from Apple I get "Temporarily cannot access server. Please retry"

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425

If you can pull this one off, still some hope of getting a single profile for Sony Bravia, unlike the several different profiles for Samsung.

Cheers,
Paul

Guys, I wound not recommend using this in the first part of transocingdefinition:

  Code:

<Matches container="mpegts" /> <!-- if audio different to ac3, mus be transcoded -->

It'll invoke transcoding of all ts files and will therefore create temp files, will take some CPU atc. You should list the audio codecs you want to be transcoded separately, like:

  Code:

<Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="aac" />
<Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="mp3" /> <!-- this might even work natively? -->
<Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="dca" />

PaulBravia,
Could you enable debug mode on log file, catch the line of "ffmeg.exe -i" when you start streaming "Iron Man 2", and copy/paste the command here, please?

Hi Ilico, since 'Iron_Man_2-DivXPlusHD.mkv' icon does not appear on Serviio with your sony bravia profile on my KDL-40WE5, I did an ffmpeg -i from cmd prompt instead. This file can be downloaded from http://www.divx.com/en/electronics/solu ... s-hd/video

Does the video appear on your KDL-46EX501 with your profile?

I am not certain that you used the tool cleanly, the result looks like an xml file format, not a log file...

This a Windows OS tool.
- Dowload the tools here
- Unzip to c:\temp for example
- Launch C:\Temp\magpie4\magpie.cmd, first a Dos window appeares and following a java console.
Select a device (in the left panel : BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9) to automatically analyze the device.
When the analysis is done you will find the raw result in th right panel.
You can submit your data then by clicking the button on top or Copy/Paste the result on forum

OK, I think I did it right this time. Here is the log file:

Let me know if this helps. I will run Zip's sink tool next. Thanks all

OK, I think I did it right this time. Here is the log file...

This is not a result of "GetProtocolInfo sink" that magpie tools get back on his Java console, this is the dos console log result, nothing appears on the java console ?!.
It does not help me, only for that line:
X-AV-Client-Info: av=5.0; cn="Sony Corporation"; mn="BRAVIA KDL-52XBR9"; mv="1.7"; that provide Profile name matching.

So try with Zip's tools, look at this "HOWTO: Provide supported formats of a device topic"

Just when I thought the the Sony Bravia TV (2009) profile was more or less stable, I came across several videos where the lip movements were very noticeably out of sync with the associated dialogue.

Changing targetACodec="ac3" to targetACodec="mp3" seemed to make the dialogue appear more natural with the lip movements.

  Code:

 <Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
           
            <Detection>
                <X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
            </Detection>                   

            <Transcoding>

                <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="mp3" maxVBitrate="15360">
                   <Matches container="asf" />
                   <Matches container="avi" />
                   <Matches container="matroska" />
                   <Matches container="mp4" />
                   <Matches container="mpegts" />                   
                </Video>

            </Transcoding>

         </Profile>

FFmpeg -i on the movie concerned, revealed the movie had an mp3 audio channel, so transcoding to ac3 in the previous profile, intoduced a lag in the audio.

Since then I have removed targetACodec from the Sony Bravia TV profile so there is no transcoding of the audio stream. So far so good.

[zip]

So did this profile work in the end? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=429&start=30#p2468

Lip sync problem might be caused by old version of ffmpeg, not sure though.

Just un-installed Serviio 0.4.1 and installed 0.4.2 and selected Sony Bravia TV and the dreaded "There is no items to display" is back again.

Immediately tried the old profile above and edited profiles.xml for Profile ID=9, still no fun.

Looks like 0.4.2 not so sociable with the older 2009 model Sony Bravias.

On the Bravia XMB (Crossbar Menu), the Serviio Icon is a nice new touch, just need to fiddle with the Profile again to get it working.

Thanks for a great product.

Cheers
PaulBravia

It should work with the older profile in the same way. I did send you a beta to try out

Is it possible to highlight the main differences in the new profile.
By taking 0.4.1 profile for id=9 Sony Bravia and inserting into 0.4.2 does not seem to work

[zip]

post the detailed log.

[Illico]

Is it possible to highlight the main differences in the new profile.

You can have a look on release note:

- video files are now advertised for non EU (US, Korea) regions as well; issue #166
Previously (0.4.1) only MPEG_TS_SD_EU was provided by the default serviio profile, now added MPEG_TS_SD_NA and MPEG_TS_SD_KO (only EU is supported by your 2009 model) but serviio provides all 3 ressources _EU, _NA and _KO to the TV, you can verify in your detailed log file.

- added support for Mpeg2TS profile formats without timestamp or with zero/valid timestamp in their transport packet to support Sony Bravia TVs
DLNA specify 3 type of Mpeg2TS
[MPEG2-TS] 192-byte DLNA Transport Packet with a valid 4-byte timestamp field and a 188-byte MPEG Transport Stream Packet, video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts
[MPEG2-TS]_T 192-byte DLNA Transport Packet with zeros in a 4-byte timestamp field and a 188-byte MPEG Transport Stream Packet, video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts
[MPEG2-TS]_ISO 188-byte DLNA Transport Packet without a 4-byte timestamp field and a 188-byte MPEG Transport Stream Packet, video/mpeg
Your 2009 TV serie must support these 3 profiles.

- added profile for Sony Bravia TV; issue #153 (thanks to Illico)
Zip provided me a 0.4.2 beta version, that I validate with my 2010 model, but now we could validate this with your 2009 model.


EDIT: Do you have the latest firmwware version in your KDL-40WE5

Thanks Illico & Zip for your suggestions so far.

I fell back to Serviio 0.4.1 as my Partner wanted to watch movies instead of me spending too much testing out the new 0.4.2

So when I had a quiet moment I just tackled the 0.4.2 again with a much smaller video library with a mixed bag of video formats.

So far observed MKV files, the audio a little clipped but screen is black - no picture.

I see new Serviio Icon on Sony Bravia TV XMB menu. If I look in Serviio --> Video --> Folders OR Serviio --> Video --> All Titles, I see thumbnail of video and all videos play correctly except for MKV file as previously mentioned. I have ticked all of Metadata and even clicked "rescan video metadata" but only see a frame from the file and not DVD cover etc

When I go to Serviio --> Video --> Movies, I get "There are no items to display"

This all works great in 0.4.1 and I have DVD covers or metadata form TheMovieDb.org.

Thanks
PaulBravia

First, post a detailed log and "ffmpeg -i" of mkv file (with audio but no video for example) of course with your WAF
