Serviio

Has anyone got a profile they know works with a Viera V10? AVIs play perfectly, but MP4s refused to play at all. A small edit of the Viera profile:
<Transcoding>
<!-- remux DTS/FLAC/LPCM in MKV/MP4 to AC3 -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="192">
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="dca" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="flac" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="vorbis" />
<Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="3gp" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>

now makes the video work, if a little stretched, but still no audio. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas. I've had a look in the wiki and the V10 isn't listed there with a list of supported formats, so tried the Intel UPnP tools to try and interrogate the TV myself, but it doesn't appear in the list; thinking the TV might be too old to support UPnP, but might be wrong.

From what i can tell from google is the 2009 series (Models Z1, V10, G15) only support mpeg2 or dvix video and theres no information on what sound codec they use but i know they dont support mp3 and from your test i would guess they dont support ac3 either so guess it must be AAC.

so on those assumptions i guess profile would be somethig like this but will require testing.

Ta for trying, but that seemed to kill all files! All of them appeared as file not supported. Still carrying on tweaking the original profile to see what I can so. If any success I'll post back what I've done.

really hmm, ok then it has to be ac3 audio then, as nothing else makes sense. the original profile will be dissappearing so helping me o get a working profile is your best bet as 2010 and 2011 device have a new profile now so let get one for the 2009 devices like yours.

Weird, same problem; files not supported. I've tried dropping in the section from the Philips profile regarding mp4 as at least that gets the video working, if not the audio, but no joy as yet, but I may have done something wrong. And you are right; I'd never checked my audio shares before (just moved house and only just got this lot set up with a view to retiring my massive mythTV box) and mp3s indeed don't play natively, so that's something for me to look at too. I'll carry on tomorrow night.

are u definately selecting the correct profile for the device in console cause thats impossible? one of the 2 profile i posted should work as there is no other options. please post your serviio log file too

Will do so tonight. I'll drop in both your profiles and restart the machine in between changes to make sure everything is properly restarted and see what works.
Do you want the regular log, or a debug level one?

normal log, should be fine.

I dropped in both your profiles:


And tried both, a couple of minutes apart, restarting Serviio fully between each attempt, trying an mp4 each time. Both times, the error 'File Not Supported' appeared on the TV, just like the original Viera profile does.
Log file for this evening:


Looking back earlier in the logs, I can see where Serviio loads the profiles, where it adds and removed files from the library, but it doesn't say anything about media playback, successful or otherwise, but I don't know if it should. Rechecking the Philips profile, that does still show mp4 video with no audio.

i really dont know that makes no sense at all, will have to have a look next time im off as im working next 4 days.

Not a problem. Thanks loads for having a look anyway, and in the meantime I'll continue experimenting and if I come up with anything positive (or broken but in a new and interesting way) I'll post back

Hello, I also have a Panasonic V10 and also can't get the renderer to work properly. Aside from that, it works just great with the normally supported Panasonic formats. Please could you help me find an answer?

Awesome job on the software BTW!

I'm still fiddling with mine. At the moment I've fallen back on my old PVR box while I get this sorted and to tide over as I'm busy with work and studying at the moment, but if I come up with anything workable I'll be dropping it back here.
On a related note, Panasonic have said they will absolutely not be updating the codecs of the V10 tellys, and any future firmware updates will simply be interactive or stability updates. I gave their customer svscs dept a bit of a mild bollocking over not even supporting MP3, which was a format 10 years mature before our TVs were even released, but besides an apology there doesn't look like anything Panasonic will help us with.
