Serviio

Hi,

new to this forum. I am having trouble with video files from my Panasonic FT3 camera. There is no sound on ipad or B series Samsung TV. The ipad also plays video very slowly.

Could anyone offer any advise?

Many thanks

Looks ok, unless there is something wrong with the ac3 audio stream. The slowness might be due to the iPad not handling the bitrate / resolution?

Hi Petr,

Thanks for the reply.

All the files I have tried play fine on the local machine so I assume the audio streams are OK.

Would it be possible to force transcode for the audio to mp3 or something like that? If so how would this be configured?

thanks
Alistair

you can change to mp3

This is example

Go to Windows Start button, in the "Search program and files" box, type cmd.exe and press enter.

Then put this in



This will use ffmpeg to create a new file . Refresh your library in Serviio and see if it plays.

^^ this won't work

You could check out some of the profiles in profiles.xml to see how to transcode to mp3.

managed to add a catch all for the Samsung TV so I now have the sound working - thanks all for your help and advice.

Thanks
Alistair
