Sony Bravia 2011 - Another video not available

Hi folks.

I just tried to play a new movie on my Bravia HX 925 ( 2011) profile.

The m2ts file is not shown in the STREAM folder by the TV.

Other movies are accessable.

It works on the Sony BluRay player though.

The debug log looked OK to me.

Here is the ffmpeg output:

    Stream #0.1[0x1100]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 640 kb/s

Might be a profile issue !?!? VC-1 Advanced Profile 3 ( that's what media-info says) is that covered in the Bravia 2011 profile?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Not covered in the Bravia profiles, this format is supported in natvie format with Sony BDP.

Could you insert this in the second <video> ...</video> element section of the Sony Bravia 2011 definition:

<Matches container="mpegts" vCodec="vc1" />

Could you please describe where to put it t exactly!?!? There are several target format definitions in the 2011 profile.

What do I have to do after editing the file to activate the change and to refresh (reinitialise?) the database.

Sorry for my ignorance. I'm pretty new to all of this.

Cheers

I got another video which doesn't show up:

Mediainfo:
1920*1080, 23.976 fps, AVC(NTSC)(High@L4.1)(Cabac/4 Ref Frames)
First Audio stream:
Unknown/640kpbs, 48khz, 16, 6, AC-3 (stream extension) (True-HD/Core)


Database parsing doesn't seem to cause errors.

Audio issue? AC-3 True HD ???

Any hints are welcome.

Thx

That could be due to header compression used...

Done that. And restarted the server. No change.

Do I have to remove the database to do a new scan? (I've removed and reinstalled Serviio 20 times at least -- that's more than annoying - I really would like to see a function "reinitialize database)

Hmmh, just read that:

AC-3 TrueHd is a DRMed format. Correct!?!?

When you edit the profile, you only need to stop and restart the Serviio service. The database doesn't take the device profile into account so there's no need to keep wiping that.

THX. I didn't know if the transcode strategy/parameters gets assigned on a per video basis to each record during the initial scan. I'd assumed that without wiping the db a mismatch of
database and profile would exist. Obviously that's not the case. Thx again.

I tried the VC-1 thing. It didn't work. "No file avaliable" it says on the Sony side.

not DRMed.
But finally, the audio track will be transcode to AC3.

Could you enable detailed logging (see signature link) and check for that file ?
