Hi All,

I have had some succes in remuxing a .MKV into a .TS with tSMuxer. The end resulting .TS file played through Serviio and contained both Dolby Digital Audio Streams the original MKV had.

The streams were also selectable in the Panasonic Option Button Menu during playback of the movie.
As DTS seems not to be supported, perhaps it is possible to create a profile which will convert all possible streams ina MKV into Dolby Digital before packing it all into a .TS

I am now testing the same file with adding subtitles to it to see if the Panasonic will also allow me to select multiple subtitle streams.

If it works then we can pack MKV into .TS and preserve all DD audio streams and subttitles

Cheers,

Peter

Serviio will currently only use the first audio stream (as defined by FFmpeg)

Hi Peter,

could you provide some details on the steps you took to convert the .mkv to a file playable on a Panasonic Viera device?

I tried this script and tinkered with it, but had no success so far.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Daniel

ZIP please correct me if im wrong but MKV file will play on the panasonic if they use the correct profile wont they or have we still not got enough information to make a decent working panasonic profile ???

Well, I have the device profile set to "Panasonic Viera" in serviio 0.5.1, but I just get a "file type not supported" when trying to play an mkv on the TV.

I'm not sure to be honest ;-)

post ffmpeg -i for the mkv you cannot play

OK, I don't want to "hijack" the thread ;-)

The profile specifies remuxing MKV with H264 to mpegts with ac3. Your file should be compatible, unless it's profile/level is too high (you could find that in Media Info). Do all your mkv files fail to play or is this the only one?

Posted: **Sun Mar 20, 2011 11:41 am**

The behaviour is consistent with all of my MKVs, i.e. none of them play.

Posted: **Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:02 pm**

can you post detailed log of when you try to play the file?

Posted: **Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:50 pm**

Sure thing.

Posted: **Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:55 pm**

Please, could you post MediaInfo result of your file too?

Posted: **Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:17 pm**

Sure, here you go.

For what it's worth, I'm also attaching a log excerpt of a working mpeg file.

Panasonic renderers only supports
- AVC/H264 with x264 core >61 revision. --> x264 core 85 r1442tw : OK
- H264 High@Level < 4.1 --> High@L3.1 : OK

Seems good, could you provide mkvinfo of you mkv file? I'll looking at header compression issue.

Posted: **Mon Mar 21, 2011 7:04 pm**

Ok, mkvinfo, here it is:

Thanks, there were no header compression.

Sorry but, no more ideas...

Daniel,

I first remuxed the MKV into a .TS ( so Servioo ) did not have to do it.
When the MKV has multiple Dolby Digital tracks in it and you convert it into a .TS then the file should allow you to play either stream.

No luck thusfar with subtitles as the subtitles used in normal .TS streams by Tv stations are ofthen way different from what we are using.

If anybody is interested, I made this minimalistic ffmpeg wrapper, to support multiple audio tracks while transcoding or just remuxing:

Code:: #!/bin/bash argv=("$@") argc=${#argv[@]} j=0 map[0]="0:v:0" # 1st map: 1st video track map[1]="0:a" # 2nd map: all audio tracks for (( i=0 ; i<argc ; i++ )); do case "${argv[i]}" in "-map" ) argv[i+1]=${map[j++]} ;; esac done /opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg "${argv[@]}"

Works fine with serviio 0.6.1 & ffmpeg 0.9.1.
