BDP-S590 (EU) profile improvments ?

Hi everybody,

As I was testing differents file on my new panasonic plasma, I decided to test all those files also with my sony BDP-S590 (European), with the standard profile all where not playable, so I tried to improve it a litle bit.

And here is my final result:
  Code:
<Profile id="bdp2012" name="Sony BDP-Sx90 (2012)" extendsProfileId="1">
      <!-- For this BDP profile MKVs with multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitles are natively supported AVIs with DivX FourCC are transcoded,

For sure It can be improved, It is based on try and error and file analysis using ffmepg -i and media info.

I am particulary not satisfied with this line as I think there could be some board effects:
  Code:
<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" profile="high"/>


This was due to a file not playing without it, but not matching with:
  Code:
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />


Here are the file information:

Maybe someone can help me to understand why it's not matching on levelGreaterThan="4.1", even if reported as L5.1.

Feel free to use this profile and/or imrpove it.

Have a read of the wiki article: http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=get_h264_level.

The line in your profile <H264LevelCheck>FILE_ATTRIBUTES</H264LevelCheck> tells Serviio to use the file attributes (ie. the width, height and reframes) to determine h264 level. Based on the wiki article, the dpbMbsfor your file is = 352 x 198 x 8 / 256 = 2,178 which corresponds to a h264 level = 2 --> hence no match to your greater than L4.1 bit.

Removing the <H264LevelCheck>FILE_ATTRIBUTES</H264LevelCheck> line will tell Serviio to inherit the value from profile 1 - <H264LevelCheck>ANY</H264LevelCheck> - which then tells Serviio to use the higher of the file attributes calculated level, or the level stored in the file header (in your case 5.1) - see http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=16 for details.

      <LimitImageResolution>false</LimitImageResolution>
   </Profile>


Wit this profile only one test file didn't play properly ( I had video but no sound), but I really think this is due to bad encoding.
Otherwise if you want to avoid this issue you can transcode all asf files to mpeg-ts replacing those lines:
  Code:
<Matches container="asf" aCodec="wmapro" />            
<Matches container="asf" vCodec= "vc1" aCodec="wmav2" />


With:
  Code:
<Matches container="asf"/>


But my goal was to only transcode if needed.

Maybe someone can still improve it but I think this profile is quite good now. (At least for me it works better than before)

So maybe Zip or Patters can integrate it in the next release.
