Online Streams Not working

I have purchased a pro license. So far it’s working great, except for one thing that is making my life difficult. The environment is as follows:-
- I have some 2M Satellite Head ends each with about 5 channels
- I’m broadcasting on an IP network using UDP from the Head Ends
- The stream is MPEG2-TS
The problem:-
- I enter the Stream IP in serviio and check the stream all is good I get a green check on it.
- When I try to view on any Smart TV I get file not supported
- I check the stream on the Serviios MediaBrowser and it runs fine.
Can you tell what is going wrong?
PS:- All the VOD media works fine.

maybe the transcoding is not setup right. You will need to give us:
ffmpeg -i "stream url"
detailed log playing the stream
you device and profile you're using

Thank you for the reply, but I'm using Windows version.
But I did find this error in the Serviio Log

That's what I'm trying to tell you. when I type ffmpeg -i
udp://@225.1.1.13:11111I get
'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

run ffmpeg manually first to see the stream details.
then turn on the
detailed log, restart the service / PC and try to play the stream via Serviio.

Ok.
Try to add this as the first block inside the Generic profile's Online Transcoding block:
- Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts">
<Matches container="mpegts" vCodec="mpeg2video" aCodec="mp2" />
</Video>
