L42U30T can't handle XviD files by transcode-1.0.6
Posted: Tue May 29, 2012 4:00 amI have a Panasonic Vierra L42U30T. It works great with Serviio. However, I noticed that the TV was barfing on CERTAIN (not all) DivX/XviD files. I finally sat down and did some thorough profiling to figure out WHICH files it hates and which ones it likes.
The only culprit I could find was the encoder. The TV could not handle any files encoded with transcode-1.0.6. All other encoders (and there were many) were fine. I tried figuring what what exactly was different about the files transcode-1.0.6 was making, but failed in that endeavor.
Upon googling, I found this thread: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1927 which verified that I was not alone. So, I tried doing this:
The output.avi was just slightly bigger than input.avi, and the TV could play it perfectly!
So ... my question is: How can I hack serviio's profiles.xml to trigger the above command on xvid files (i.e. mpeg4 in avi)? If possible, trigger it only for those files encoded by transcode-1.0.6? Any suggestions welcome!
Note: I don't want to manually run the command on my existing collection. I don't keep a very big collection around - it is regularly and automatically refreshed by deluge using several torrent feeds.
