TC-L55ET5: mkv work but no other file type,transcoding probl

[thenamelessthing]

Hi! I just install serviio on my ubuntu 12.04 with success. Serviio detect my panasonic TV TC-L55ET5 and auto-select the right profile (see picture below)


I can play .mkv without any problem. But i'm unable to play any other video file.

Here is an example:

media@mediastation:~$ ffmpeg -i /data/Films/Rambo\ 1.avi

I suspect ffmpeg transcoding doesn't work at all on my server.. Any help will be appreciated!

Could you update your ffmpeg build and take care of configuration opion (librtmp...) : http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux

[thenamelessthing]

Hi, I have follow the instruction about compiling and installing ffmpeg without any error. But I always have the same kind of error.

Thanks you for your help!

AFAIK, the TC-L55ET5 model is a new one and it is able to play avi files by itself (you can check this by trying to play this file from USB).
Try to use the "Panasonic Viera G/GT/DT/UT/VT (2011/2012)" profile and it should be streamed without transcoding.

[thenamelessthing]

the TC-L55ET5 model is a new one and it is able to play avi files by itself

Here is the official media format support for this model:

AVCHD 3D/Progressive, SD-VIDEO/MotionJPEG (Lumix)/MKV/MP4/MOV/M4v/FLV/3GPP/VRO/VOB/TS/PS, MP3/AAC/FLAC, JPEG/MPO

No avi supported! I even try avi on usb without success. But mkv work really fine.

Serviio automatically detect the right profile for the tv, I also tried with "Panasonic Viera G/GT/DT/UT/VT (2011/2012)" profile manually without succes. With this profile I see no content in the serviio dlna server in comparaison with the profile who was automatically detect.

No avi supported! I even try avi on usb without success.

My bad - should have checked the manual...
I thought I tried the avi file on similar TX-L32E5 but maybe it wasn't avi or maybe there is a difference between TX and TC...

Edit: checked the manuals
Both TX-L32E5 and TX-L55ET5 should play the avi files. So, it is TC that makes the difference.

[thenamelessthing]

One question I have is : in many topic on the forum I see in the log file posted by people the command line mmpeg try to execute. In my log I don't see it. Why?

[zip]

It'll be further up from what you posted (possibly in a file called serviio.log.1 or similar)

[thenamelessthing]

Trying to launch manually the command will be a good idea to debug my problem or you think it's another thing?

[zip]

yes, it'll give us the error message

[thenamelessthing]

What can I do to fix this??

[zip]

your FFmpeg it too new

can you build one from the Serviio download page?

[thenamelessthing]

Maybe we can specify the version requirement in the doc?

[zip]

The required version is the one on the download page.

[thenamelessthing]

The required version is the one on the download page.

Ooh! I understand. I have followed the instruction on the wiki. And on the wiki the version is the LATEST. I will try with the source on the download page.


To be continued...

[thenamelessthing]

I have rebuild ffmpeg with the source from the download page. It finally work! One last thing, the audio is not sync on some video. Maybe is because I didn't build source for Lame MP3 Encoder (v. 3.98) and libRTMP 2.4 too?



edia@mediastation:~/src/current/lame-398-2$ dpkg -l | grep lame
ii lame 3.99.3+repack1-1 MP3 encoding library (frontend)
ii libmp3lame-dev 3.99.3+repack1-1 MP3 encoding library (development)
ii libmp3lame0 3.99.3+repack1-1 MP3 encoding library
ii libtwolame0 0.3.13-1build1

[thenamelessthing]

Also, I'm on a Lan 100 MB and my home server is a DualCore AMD with 2 gb of ram...

I also added a comment to the (already marked as resolved) issue about this: https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... parameters

The issue specifies that instead of sameq qscale should be used, but that is changed too

Use -q:a 1 or -q:v 1 instead. For now, I'll downgrade my ffmpeg, but I would really like to see these arguments changed.

[zip]

from ffmpeg documentation:

‘-q[:stream_specifier] q (output,per-stream)’
‘-qscale[:stream_specifier] q (output,per-stream)’
Use fixed quality scale (VBR). The meaning of q is codec-dependent.

so it looks like qscale:v and q:v is the same. Serviio uses qscale in 1.1

[thenamelessthing]

And for my sync audio problem what is your advice?
