A few questions...brand new newb here

Hi all,

Just stumbled upon Serviio by accident and decided to give it a try. I added my folders and it recognized my PS3 with no problems. I am able to play everything so far except FLV files. Also it downloaded the cover art and such for movies...but some of the them are the incorrect ones for that movie. How do I go about changing those individual ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no transcoding config for fvl in the PS3 profile yet, so you can be the first to help with this Post ffmpeg -i of the flv file (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1123).

Regarding inline metadata, you should name your files as described here: http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=12
To update the metadata, the easiest is to rename the file (or its parent folder) and wait for the change to be picked up by Serviio or click Force refresh.

Really loving this media server. I changed the names of the movies with the year added and it worked perfectly getting the new cover art. I am noticing too it doesn't want to transcode mov files either. I am going to try the ffmpeg of the flv files to help out now. Thanks again for this cool program.

Try this updated PS3 profile:

  Code:

<Profile id="4" name="Playstation 3" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <HttpHeaders>
            <X-AV-Client-Info>.*PLAYSTATION 3.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
         </HttpHeaders>   
      </Detection>
      <MediaFormatProfiles>
         <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/divx">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
      </MediaFormatProfiles>
      <Transcoding>
         <!--
            remux MKV with any video to MPEG2TS and possibly change audio to ac3, also AVI anfd FLV with H264
         -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
            <Matches container="matroska" />
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="h264" />
            <Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264" />
         </Video>
         <!-- all other unplayable files just transcode to mpeg2 -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video">
            <Matches container="flv" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>
      <LimitImageResolution>false</LimitImageResolution>
   </Profile>

Zip,

Sorry to be dumb about this...how do I add this profile to the Playstation 3 profile?

[zip]

http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=16

Just replace the ps3 profile in that file with the text provided above.

Zip,

Applied the profile...now when i go into my folder that has flash movies...it will give a thumbnail now...so that's a good sign...however on that video I posted the information about, it plays the video and not the audio.

[zip]

try replacing this

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video">
            <Matches container="flv" />
         </Video>

with this

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="flv" />
         </Video>

in the profile above

Applied the profile and now that file plays...I tried some of the others...they will play but the sound is out of sync with the video. It's getting very close

And with:

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" aBitrate="192">
            <Matches container="flv" />
         </Video>
