PS3 Cannot Play MP4 File, Can Play from WHS Streaming
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2012 4:42 pmHello All,
I'm really enjoying Serviio, but I'm having a little trouble with the PS3 side of it. I was using the built in media server in Windows Server 2012 Essentials (similar to WHS 2011), but I wasn't happy with it. After I installed Serviio, I was much happier. Nearly all the files work without a problem except for one group of files.
When I select the folder, I do not see any thumbnails, and they all say "Unsupported Data." I figured I would just force it to transcode by modifying the profile, but then I saw the same folder played without a problem on the built in Essentials media server. The server didn't seem to be transcoding anything, and I could see thumbnails too. I also could play it without an issue from a USB drive.
I also have a Sony Blu-Ray player, and the file plays fine on there from Serviio. Switching the PS3 to the generic profile results in the same problem. Switching the profile to the Sony Blu-Ray player allows me to see thumbnails, but I cannot play the file, I get a "Corrupt Data" message after attempting to play it, and the thumbnail then disappears. Any ideas? Do I need to remux the file type for some reason? I'm pretty sure PS3 supports the format natively as I can play it from Essentials 2012 and a USB stick, but maybe I'm just missing something. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
