Serviio

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:

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.
