New OLED TV Panasonic TX-55JZW984

Hallo I need some HELP :shock:
Up to now with the growing pale Samsung UE55 ... from 2014 I could choose about Source HDMI 1, HDMI 2... OBV... Serviio as a yellow Icon!
With my new Panasonic TX-55JZW984 TV OLED I do not do it?!!
What is wrong, what must I do?
My Device is a Linux Mint 20.3 Una PC with Serviio 2.2.1 in the home net (192.168.0.184)!
The TV is to be found in the same home net about LAN (or WLAN) with the IP 192.168.0.55!
How do I insert Serviio in a Source menu? Where is my yellow icon?
Many thanks in advance !!!

Re: New OLED TV Panasonic TX-55JZW984

If Serviio is still visible on other devices on your network, then I would fear that Panasonic has dropped support for DLNA. I haven't had a Panasonic TV for many years, but my old ST30, while supporting DLNA, didn't work real well with Serviio. Personally, I gave up using the TV functionality for playing my home media years ago specifically because their media support was/is so poor.

If your home media has lossless audio (Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio) an external player is a must. The best player would be the Nvidia Shield, or at least one of the inexpensive Android boxes that support bitstreaming lossless audio. If those audio codecs aren't as critical to you, or if you don't use an AVR which supports those codecs, then there are many other external players that work much better than the TV interface. Such as a Roku player, Fire TV or Apple TV. They each have their pluses and minuses, but they all offer a number of different choices of cost and features/performance.

Many thx for the tips, but it were simply my stupidity! Now the yellow symbol is a blue one and is to be found with some patience light!
As an excuse I must say the newone stands only for two days on his place and I was too impatient! :idea: :roll:
The solution was simple: HOME key press, completely scroll to the right and select 'devices'! There they are hidden everything (HDMI 1... 4 and Serviio!!!)
Unfortunately, only the audioformats are supported not everything (opus etc.)!
With the help of 'ffmpeg -i File.mkv File.mp4' or 'ffmpeg -i File.webm File.mp4' the problem can be solved at first individually!
A small script permits later also the change of a whole directory!

Many thanks and a wonderful May

My solution for webm-files collected in one dir:

mkdir processed;
for i in *.webm;
do ffmpeg -i "$i" -nostdin "./processed/${i%.*}.mp4";
done

My next question needs a new title: playing *.m3U files with VLC is easy! How can I stream it to the TV with Serviio? :?:

Many Thx

Re: New OLED TV Panasonic TX-55JZW984

Serviio supports M3U and PLS playlists. They don't appear under titles or elsewhere. You have to have the Playlists presentation enabled, and that's where they appear. Depending on your player, it should play the titles one after the other from the list (some players will only play a single title then go back to the list). Also depending on the player, the list may appear in alphabetical order, by release date, or whatever order you have them within the files. That's the one complaint I have about Kodi, it won't just display the titles in the order I place them in the file. My Roku devices will show the order of the titles in the file. I can't remember how my Panasonic ST30 displayed them, but I think they were in the file order as well.
