Serviio

Hello all,

I did upgrade serviio to 1.0.1 , so far working all right. Youtube screen ratio is very small, but I realized that I was missing plug-ins and it fixed after I installed and reboot.

Now question is about this stream. I can play it VLC player and Ubuntu. it also works in Media Browser.

However, it doesn't show up on my TV It correctly check the stream and get green right. below is the link. I have almost 30 links working all fine except this one, which puzlle me a lot.

http://95.211.146.19:1935/repeat/colors_livetvox.stream/playlist.m3u8

I tried it as Live stream / Web resource / RSS Feed. nothing worked.

so what's wrong ? I tried to change http:// to rtsp, rtmp, rtmpe and nothing work.

I am not technical but I ams sure some one know the answer.

thanks for reading and responding

Your ffmpeg is backlevel .9
Works fine for me in Mediabrowser and on Samsung TV using latest ffmpeg..

I spoke too soon. It only plays for 10 seconds. FFmpeg encounters an "Invalid stream Index" and fails. Maybe an ffmpeg bug but Serviio uses ffmpeg so it fails too.

I suppose that means its not Serviio at fault but FFMPEG

I prefer not to update my ffmpeg codecs because in Ubuntu (which I am using), its pain to upgrade. Usually I have to remove previous version and reinstall everything.

I am open to any other suggestions.

I don't think you have a choice. Seems 1.0.1 uses new ffmpeg parameters that are only in ffmpeg 11

You can compile ffmpeg and install it to say /user/local/ffmpeg-serviio and then tell serviio to use that build without putting it on your path/effecting other applications.

Thank you guys for quick response.

Will, you got my ears. How do I configure Serviio to latest ffmpeg codecs. can you help me with commands ? or its as simple as going to console and change the path ?

appreciate your input.

I am at work, but gathering response, so can give it try once I reach home.

thanks

On phone so brief pointers

List of parameters http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=43

How to set them http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... e&id=21#q3

So edit serviio.sh and add -Dffmpeg.location=/path/to/ffmpeg to the JAVA_OPTS line

That's the most upto date FFMPEG Codec, and I am still not able to play the link. I think the issue is with Serviio

This is the link and it still works on VLC Player or FFPLAY Command but Do not show up on my TV under Serviio -> Online "http://95.211.146.19:1935/repeat/sabtv_livetvbox.stream/playlist.m3u8

I'm getting a 404 on that link this morning.

its Live Channel, its not video file. see the attachment (its screenshot)

I saw below link on one of the other post http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4689.

http://liveips.nasa.gov.edgesuite.net/msfc/Wifi.m3u8

only diffference is the actual link. My link is pointing to IP Address, and this one is pointing to Web Address.

Can someone help me understand if I have to provide additional parameters to make link with IP Address work for .m3u8 file.

You don't have to do anything. It works fine as is. Add as livestream. Watching it now on my Samsung TV.

Something is defintely wrong.

I see those link on my Sony DVD player, but its not playing.

I don't see it on my Sony TV,

canit be hardware issue ?

Could be the profile you are using but I can't help you with sony.

agreed may be you can't help but can you just point me in right direction but what's "profile" meant here ?

I can research and post what I find

Its all in the documentation http://www.serviio.org/support
