Serviio

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2023 6:08 am**

Hi,

I am trying to add movies which I created with iMovie to my Serviio library but Serviio doesn't recognise them.
I tried two options:

Message: Unknown video file type.

Message: Unknown video codec.

I am running Serviio 2.3 on Debian 11 Bullseye.

Could you post the ffmpeg information output for each type of file?

Is this what you mean?

Yes, that's it. For the MOV file I don't recognize the video codec, so that might be what Serviio is having an issue with. The second one is just H.264, so I don't know what the problem might be with it. I would supposed that running them through Handbrake would be able to convert the unsupported tracks and make them playable. Perhaps Zip can determine what the issue is.

Using Handbrake was the right tip.
The .mov file is actually ProRes. So I used Handbrake to generate a mp4 out of it and it immediately got recognised.
Thanks for your help!!
