asf(wmv) transcoding for samsung d series - help

Hi ,
Here is the metadata of the file that am trying to share through serviio (running on linux):

  Code:

  Duration: 00:03:19.51, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 189 kb/s
    Stream #0:0: Video: wmv3 (Main) (WMV3 / 0x33564D57), yuv420p, 720x576, 25 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc
    Stream #0:1: Audio: ac3 ([0] [0][0] / 0x2000), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 192 kb/s


This file fails to play on my samsung d series though the spec page of the tv says it can play this format. I copied this file into a usb and played it and the tv is able to play. For some reason through serviio this file fails to play - what trascoding do I need to add - how do i skip transcoding for these files and for online streams such as this ?

Thanks,
MMS.

add this

  Code:

<Matches container="asf" vCodec="wmv2" aCodec="ac3" />

after

  Code:

<Matches container="rm" />

Hi zip,
thanks for that and sorry for this late reply.
1. I did try. It still seems to transcode using mpeg2video instead of letting it through as such. Is there a way to do that ?
2. Also for an online stream with the following - how do I write a transcoding rule that does not transcode video and transcodes audio:

  Code:

    Stream #0:0(eng): Audio: wmav2 (a[1][0][0] / 0x0161), 48000 Hz, stereo,fltp, 96 kb/s
    Stream #0:1(eng): Video: wmv3 (Main) (WMV3 / 0x33564D57), yuv420p,720x576, 900 kb/s, 25 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc


3.Is there a way to test to test the transcoding alone without accessing them through serviio - as I have to modify the file and restart serviio every time


thanks, MMS.

WMV3 cannot be wrapped in mpegts to we have to transcode it to mpeg2.

But if the tv supports asf (wmv9 video with wma audio), why cant it be let it through as such - basically no transcoding. To try this what should I be doing to the transcoding file?

Is that not just passed through with the original profile? If it's not transcoded and still doesn't play it might be due to the DLNA player not supporting it (USB player is a different story)
