Playstation 4 Media Player

Playstation 4 now has a DLNA Media Player app and it seems to work pretty well. This biggest problem I'm noticed is that DTS audio is not supported and Serviio doesn't transcode in that case. It will probably need a profile to account for what it can and can't handle. But it's a promising app and I am hoping the community here can help support it.

My initial profile code that solves the DTS incompatibility:
- Code:
<Profile id="ps4" name="Playstation 4" extendsProfileId="1">
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />
<Matches container="*" aCodec="dts-hd" />
<Matches container="*" aCodec="flac" />
<Matches container="*" aCodec="truehd" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>

I'm having an issue with subtitles in Portuguese in PS4. The subtitles load but the accents like "á" "à" "ç" are not loaded properly. I tried changing the encoding bit with no success. Any idea?

Hey there,
I own a PS4 with portuguese localization and use pt-pt subtitles in Sony's Media Player with no problem whatsoever regarding the display of full portuguese character set. My .srt files are encoded in UTF-8.
Maybe your srt file encoding isn't properly set. I initially run into the same problems as you, where I wasn't seeing all the native portuguese accented characters. What I did was opening the .srt file in TextWrangler (Mac OS X) with the Western ISO 1 Latin encoding, then, saved the file as UTF-8 encoding.
Pronto! That fixed it Smiley Wink BTW I tested this with Twonky and Serviio DLNA servers. The subtitles displayed with the full set of portuguese characters in both of them.
Hope it helps

I wonder if there any chances to have some kind of official serviio PS4 profile?
PS4 Player functionality is pretty limited, but anyways some trasncoding is needed time to time...
