Transcoding DirecTV HD-DVR Audio
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 12:28 amI have Serviio running on Windows 7 machine and serving videos residing on a WDTV Live Media Player usb drive. I am able to view most of the videos, regardless of the format, on my DirecTV HD-DVR 24/500 using the embedded MediaShare application.
This means that the Serviio DirecTV HD-DVR transcoding profile is working for Video. However, it is not working for Audio. When I try to play iTunes audio files (.m4a) residing on the same drive as the videos, MediaShare will not play them because it will only play .mp3 audio files.
My question is: Is there a way to get Serviio to transcode audio files to mp3 format? Below is the DirecTV HD-DVR profile I modified hoping it would do this, but it doesn't:
MediaShare still shows "X" next to any m4a file (meaning it sees it, but will not play it).
Any suggestions? Thanks!
