ASUS Transformer TF201 & Serviio...

Just bought one of these Tablets and noticed the MyNet app could see my Serviio server on my PC. So I opened up a few file types to see what's what. Firstly Serviio see the TF201 as a Generic Device (which is fair enough as their is no profile for it.)

Anyway the TF201 & MyNet successfully displayed JPG images, played mp3 audio files and XVID Videos. It also played MKV files (picture no sound).

In order to make it completely compatible with Serviio I assume I need to create a profile for it for what it can and cannot play?

There are some android threads as well as a section on the wiki with info on the best app to use which you should look at, but something like bubbleUpnp + mkvideo player etc should play most content from what I remember.

The problem you said is really a little annoying.But it can play MKV files.That sounds good,MKV files is high-quality movie files.I like them.I usually download MKV instead of RMVB files.

Good luck to you.

I had a look at some of the apps in the link above but none of them seemed to have the ability to "connect" to Serviio running on my PC!

Running ASUS MyNET app MKV files play (just without sound). The files contain DD5.1 sound so I assume the issue is that this is being passed to the ASUS MyNET app and it does not have a decoder to deal with it. Ideally I need profile that does a down mix on all surround sound formats to stereo (as the Tablet only has stereo in any case). I have not done enough investigations yet on how to do this.

I ran the Upnp tool to see what the TF201 and MyNET would support, but it never appeared in the list! It's not on the database either!

When I get more time I have a play at creating a profile for it...

I have a TF201 also. My focus is on playing recorded TV files from windows media center. With UPnPlay and several movie players, I can get sound and video, but the playback stutters. Playback is fine if I copy the wtv file onto the tablet, so I think the problem is insufficient wifi BW compared to the wtv bitrate. I set up a transcoding profile to lower the bitrate and that seems to work. However, I can no longer fast forward past the commercials. That is a big negative for me.

I gave up on MyNet quickly since it seems clueless about wtv files. I am also interested in playing DVD and BluRay content. If I rip them to MKV files (with MakeMKV), I think it should work, but I expect BR rips would have a similar bitrate problem.

Good luck!

I have the same problem. I'm going to test a few things to find out what could be causing the issue.

1 install mediatomb on another Linux VM and see if it works With that.
2 play with the profiles and see if the issue can be fixed that way.

If anyone else has already done this I would appreciate hearing about it.
