Stream URL not exposed for mp4 with h265 video

Hello,

I'm having an issue getting Serviio to work with mp4 files using h265 video. h265 inside mkv is apparently working fine.

I originally posted this on the XDA forums for the developer of BubbleUPnP (windows transcoding application and Android app). However, the developer has diagnosed this as a possible bug in Serviio.

The developer's response can be seen here:

Thanks!

Hi,

so h265 is not a standard DLNA video codec (yet). It works with MKV, because that itself is not (or was not until recently) a DLNA standard container. So Serviio sends MKV as is.

You'd have to setup transcoding for mp4/h265 files in a profile:

  Code:

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h265" />

Thank you for the reply. I understand I would need to setup a profile to allow Serviio to do transcoding.

However, I have transcoding disabled in Serviio. Instead, I am using BubbleUPnP server to do the transcoding. Unfortunately, it (BubbleUPnP Server) is unable to obtain a "stream URL" when I attempt to play a h265 video within an mp4 container. When the container is mkv, as you mentioned, it is passed along just fine and BubbleUPnP Server can do transcoding.
