Audio codec not supported - Samsung bd-5500

Zip,

Great software... I've tried lots of DLNA server software with my Samsung and serviio is best I've used.

One issue I'm having is playing videos from an older cannon camera. I've got a Samsung BD-5500 blu-ray player using the Samsung TV / player (C-series) profile with the added container:

  Code:

         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="mp3" aBitrate="64">
            <Matches container="avi" aCodec="pcm_s16le"/>
         </Video>


This was added since serviio was trying to send the file natively to the samsung which wasn't working... so now, it's trying to transcode so that the samsung can properly play it. The video now shows up, however, when it's starts to play, I receive an error message that no supported audio codec was found.

here is my ffmpeg information...

  Code:

So, the question is I'm not sure if the following is causing my issue:

[NULL @ 02206c90] Requested sampling rate unsupported using closest supported (1
1025)

or is it that the samsung can't handle the audio what ffmpeg is sending? It should since it's a simple pcm stream? Very confused.

did you try this with 0.5?

Yes, tried on 0.5.

I read some other discussions that some players where having issues with default bite rate of 192, so I added aBitrate="64" option to the transcoding which is new to 0.5 since the bitrate on this file is only 88kb.

Any ideas would be appreciated... Thanks.

...so I added aBitrate="64" option to the transcoding which is new to 0.5 since the bitrate on this file is only 88kb.

64 is a very poor bitrate for mp3 transcoding, do you try aBitrate="128" or aBitrate="384"?

Do you try :

  Code:

         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="avi" aCodec="pcm_s16le"/>
         </Video>

[zip]

Try transcoding into ac3 (and leave out the aBitrate)
