Re: Problems with ST50 and MKV playback

Hi everyone, first time Serviio user and poster so bear with me.

I'm piggybacking onto this topic since it seems almost identical to my issue. I'm getting stretched video on MKV's on my 2013 Panny ST60.

I had a DTS issue as my ST60 doesn't support it, but that was fixed by uncommenting the apropriate line in the xml file.

Fixing that seems to have created the stretched video issue, since beforehand the video was fine but no audio.

I gather from this thread that I'm probably losing the AR info, so I need to have video transcoded as well as audio but I'm not sure how to go about it, if that is the problem.

BTW, it's not isolated to one file and any that don't work on the Panny, do work fine on my Samsung TV that supports DTS.

Thanks for any help.

PS. Using v1.4.1.2 and Profile Panasonic Viera (2013)

Easiest way is to remove these 3 lines:

    </Video>
    <!-- remux FLAC/TrueHD in MKV/MP4 to AC3, DTS (MP4) to AC3 -->
    <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
This will effectively make it so that all the H264 files that were being remuxed, will now be re-encoded instead.

Thanks DenyAll, that worked. Had to use the aspect button on the remote to get it right but it's working.
