Serviio

Posted: **Mon Nov 17, 2014 10:42 pm**

Hello,

I'm not speaking English normally, so I may not use the language as I should. Excuse me for that.

I installed Serviio on a windows 7 laptop and most of my files (mostly mkv files) do play nice on the Panasonic Vierra TX-L32D25E.

Some mkv files however don't. I can see the files but in front of them is a ! mark. I think I should change the profiles.xml file, but I don't know where and how.

I just hope that someone is using the same TV and is willing to tell me how to play these files (with what profile and the the changes of the profile.xml ( if necessary).

Following is the mediainfo:

Hello,

Now using profile Panasonic (2010). It plays, but not smoothly.
Is there a way to increase the buffer used for transcoding?

Thanks,

Bauke

What profile were you using before trying the Panasonic 2010.

Try adding:

<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vc1" />under the line

<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="truehd" />in the Panasonic 2013 profile. Restart your PC after changing profiles.xml

This change will remux your file (rather than transcode it) in all of the Panasonic profiles (except 2010 which always transcodes MKVs). Remuxing is far less processor intensive - which is probably the cause of the stuttering.

Hello DenyAll,

Thanks for your answer.
I tried your solution, but then even the files that did play don't play anymore.

There's no way to force the 2010 profile to remux instead of transcode?

I will try to add the suggested line to the 2010 profile

Sure - in the Panasonic 2010 profile change the line:

targetVCodec="mpeg2video"

DAR="16:9"

(remove the bits in red).
