Slow on transcoding - QNAP 259+

Hello everybody,

had problems with the TMP folder. After solving that, all HD videos now playing but just shuttering

When trying to start the process manually i get the error:

  Code:

/root/.serviio/opt/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: librtmp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installed a new version off ffmpeg with ipkg and started the process:

/opt/bin/ffmpeg -i /share/Qmultimedia/Filme/Colombiana.mkv -y -threads 4 -async 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 384k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob /root/.serviio/tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-56-MPEG2PS.stf

But only getting fps between 20-35fps which is resulting in the shuttering With 1080p mkv files, only 5 - 8 fps ...

Output of /opt/bin/ffmpeg -i:

When copying a file over GB Ethernet i get betweeen 60 - 80MB/sec. So i think the disc's aren't the problem. Have seen a thread here where users get more the 100 - 300fps

Someone with an explanation for that?

PS: PS3 Media Server plays the files just fine.

[zip]

what profile are you using? The NAS is low powered to is only manages low fps. But possibly transcoding is not necessary in that case.

It's a Sharp Aquos and with the Sharp profile it recognices the mkvs. When selecting "generic" profile it couldn't play it at all.

So i need the the Sharp profile to play it at all.

You mean a 1,8GHz dual core CPU isn't fast enough? Why is it working with am PMS in a better way?

I think PMS only remux the file into mpegts where serviio/Sharp Aquos transcode the video (more cpu load).
Check if your file could be remuxed ?

EDIT: Check with INTEL tool the format supported by your device.
Then provide information about your media file.
We'll see if Sharp profile can be optimized.

The intel tool didn't found the TV.

Here is the DLNA certificate for the TV: http://certification.dlna.org/certs/REG73665884.pdf

And here are the movie informations from two mkvs:

Need more informations?

The intel tool didn't found the TV.

Ok, so we are blind, we have to test with sample files to know if your device support mpegts with h264 video and ac3 audio.

Here is the DLNA certificate for the TV: http://certification.dlna.org/certs/REG73665884.pdf
Sharp Aquos LC-70LE835E

Thanks, dlna certification is based on minimal profile specification (MPEGPS/MPEGTS), however, your TV can support more...

And here are the movie informations from two mkvs:

Thanks,
So it might be nice if we could remux these mkv/h264/dts into mpegts/h264/ac3, no need to transcode video (more cpu load)

Edit the profiles.xml, on Sharp profile section.
Add this between <Transcoding>...</Transcoding> in first position:

  Code:

         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264"/>
         </Video>

Restart serviio service, try to play your mkv and check the log file.

Thanks a lot!

I have changed the profile for the Sharp, now he couldn't play the file anymore.

Here is the serviio.log:

try to add this to the profile

  Code:

<MediaFormatProfiles>
  <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts" name="MPEG_TS_SD_EU,MPEG_TS_SD_NA,MPEG_TS_SD_KO">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AC3_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>         
</MediaFormatProfiles>

if it doesn't work try to replace it with

  Code:

<MediaFormatProfiles>
  <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="MPEG_PS_PAL,MPEG_PS_NTSC">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AC3_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>       
</MediaFormatProfiles>

Thanks a lot for the help!

To be sure i replaced all the lines

  Code:

<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/avi" name="">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mp4">MPEG4_P2_3GPP_SP_L0B_AAC</MediaFormatProfile>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mp4">MPEG4_P2_3GPP_SP_L0B_AMR</MediaFormatProfile>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mp4">AVC_3GPP_BL_QCIF15_AAC</MediaFormatProfile>

with your lines. Unfortunatelly the TV didn't play the files

ok another try would be to capture packets coming from the PS3MS when you start playing the file with Wireshark

Can you get something out of that log? Otherwise have to install something like wireshark on the QNAP NAS

Here again of a second movie / 1080p with PMS:

mencoder command used is similar to ffmpeg used by serviio, the video stream is copied and audio is transcode in ac3-6channels-640kbps-48Khz

  Code:

mencoder -ss 0 /share/Qmultimedia/Filme2/Tin Tin.mkv -quiet -quiet -really-quiet -msglevel statusline=2 -channels 6 -ovc copy -of rawaudio -mc 0 -noskip -oac lavc -quiet -quiet -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=640 -af lavcresample=48000 -srate 48000 -aid 0 -o /tmp/ps3mediaserver/1337168147139ffmpegaudio01

you can try to change audio bitrate, but I don't think this is the isssue...

  Code:

                        <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="640" aSamplerate="48000">
                                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264"/>
                        </Video>

Could you post here the PS3MS profile for your Sharp ?

[Illico]

You can also try this, with TinTin.mkv:

  Code:

   <Profile id="18" name="Sharp Aquos" extendsProfileId="1">
                <Detection>
                        <HttpHeaders>
                                <User-Agent>.*SHARP-AQUOS.*</User-Agent>
                        </HttpHeaders>
                </Detection>
                <MediaFormatProfiles>
                        <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AC3_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>
                </MediaFormatProfiles>
                <Transcoding>
                        <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="640" aSamplerate="48000">
                                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264"/>
                        </Video>
                </Transcoding>
        </Profile>

Sames as before: Video isn't playable.

In den PMS renderes folder there isn't an profile for the Sharp. Dodn't know how they manage, that the Sharp is getting the right format?

[zip]

I assume it might be just Mime-type, therefore Wireshark capture would be useful

OK installed PMS an Wireshark here on my Mac (easier for me to handle) and capture a playback of an mkv on the TV.

Unfortunatelly the captured log is about 45,5MB for that two minutes of testing (already filtered by the IP address of the TV).
I try to find the interessting section. Do you have a hint for an expression to look for? Otherwise i have to upload the hole file somewhere on a filehoster.

Edit:
OK get it. In the attachment there is the wireshark protocoll (to open in wireshark).
I think around line 240 is the interessting part.

[zip]

thanks, so it looks like they are remuxing the file and then advertising as mpegts. try this:

  Code:

<Profile id="18" name="Sharp Aquos" extendsProfileId="1">
                <Detection>
                        <HttpHeaders>
                                <User-Agent>.*SHARP-AQUOS.*</User-Agent>
                        </HttpHeaders>
                </Detection>
                <MediaFormatProfiles>
                        <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="MPEG_TS_SD_EU_ISO">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AC3_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>
                </MediaFormatProfiles>
                <Transcoding>
                        <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="640" aSamplerate="48000">
                                <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264"/>
                        </Video>
                </Transcoding>
        </Profile>

!!! WORKS !!! WORKS LIKE A CHARME !!!!
