The XML format is just text, so you can use Windows Notepad. However, you'll find it much easier to work with if you install Notepad ++. It's free and provides color coding to the text to help understand it all. Then just copy and paste the line I provided where I mentioned.

Working now!!! Thanks so much for your help!

tried changing to the Sony BDP-Sx100 (2013) profile and as expected no sound like before.
I tried putting in the transcoding line <Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" /> where I thought it should go, but didn't work. Should the same line work with that profile as it did with the 2010 profile?

I'm looking at that profile, and I don't see a good existing place to add it. So, lets create a new one!

  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
      <Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" />
</Video>


Just paste this code directly below the first video transcoding section. Make sure it is outside of the <Video> and </Video> tags. Looking at a fresh Profiles file, add a blank line at line 1310, which is just a comment line now. Paste it in the blank line, then restart the service and give it a try.

How old is the bluray? I have a pano from 2014 that gives the same error and no sound for some files but chromecast plays them fine. Would be interested in knowing if this works.

Also, I like sublime text better than notepad++ but to each their own..

if your file has something else you won't get audio without transcoding. What profile is assigned to your TV?

I am using the old version of "Serviio Pro 1.5.2", using the profile "Sony BDP-Sx100 (2013)".

My BluRay Player is a "Sony BDP-S6200", that's a very good BluRay player to play many formats.

My Cinema Processor is a "Pioneer SC-LX71".

Playing mainly MKV x264 video files, with AC3 audio works great.

I am having the issue were if it has an EAC3 audio track, the sound won't play as it's not supported.

When I try to edit the "profiles.xml" file trying to add the lines of

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" />
</Video>

It won't start the server, and it can't connect until I remove the lines again.

I am wondering if I am placing it in the wrong place, or something else is stopping me from editing the file.

I have attached my xml file.

Hopefully someone can help?

I have had the problem to long, and always end up demuxing my audio from the mkv files, and encoding it to AC3, then muxing it back into the mkv.

You also have to upgrade your version of Serviio. EAC3 wasnt recognised until version 1.8.

Suggest updating to the latest version.

Updated to the latest version, then edited the profile again, and it seems to be working now.

Thanks!
