Dolby Vision MP4 file not "seen" by Serviio
Posted: Sun May 24, 2020 4:00 pm
So, I'm using Serviio 2.1 pro on Windows 10 and I have these files. They play perfectly on the device I'm streaming to if I copy them to a USB drive and stick it in to it (a TCL 4K TV). They also play fine locally on my computer through the native "Movies and TV" app. However, Serviio does not recognize them whatsoever. It's not that the renderer can't play them, they're not even visible to Serviio as media files, even though they're perfectly valid .mp4s that play locally and on my TV. Regardless of if I change what folders the files are in, rename them, put them in their own folders...nothing. All my other files work fine, it's just these, and the only thing they have in common is Dolby Vision. However, they are streamed fine with the native Windows "Media Streaming" functionality and play back fine on my TV with that. So there's no reason Serviio shouldn't support them. I've losslessly cut 30 seconds of the first file and have uploaded it to Google Drive here so you can test it out for yourself. This test file is also not visible in Serviio.
And another one with the same issue.
