The code you have:

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpeg">
       <Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />

will only remux the existing video and existing audio into a mpeg2 container. The second appearance of the "dca" later in the profile is never matched (Serviio matches the first occurrence and acts on that - it never gets to the second statement).

You need to tell Serviio transcode the audio to AC3. Try:

  Code:

<Transcoding>
      <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
         <Matches container="flv" />
         <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
         <Matches container="rm" />
      </Video>
      <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
         <Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />
     </Video>
      <Video targetContainer="mpeg">
         <Matches container="wtv" />
      </Video>
</Transcoding>

Note that I have removed the "dca" match from the "vp8" case (you don't have to do this, but this will cover a broader range of vp8 files, and audio transcoding is lightweight). Order is important - the DTS audio match occurs only for files that don't require video and audio transcoding, similarly the wtv case occurs only for files that dont require DTS audio transcoding (a wtv file with DTS will be appropriately handled by the dca match).

Hey thanks for that,
buT it still is not working i still get the message that my device cant play DTS.

hope anybody has a workaround....
i dont want to transcode my whole library by hand...

After changing profiles.xml did you restart your PC? Serviio needs to be completely restarted for new profiles to be loaded. Did you check that the profile is assigned to the device (Serviio Console, Status tab) - if not, manually assign it.

This profile will transcode all DTS files so as long as transcoding is enabled, your device shouldnt actually get a DTS file....

yes i did... i stopped the whole service and then restarted it. and i did a reboot too to make sure.

my file has more then one audio stream in it. maybe this is confusion the match command...

does anybody has the WD TV Play at and can give me his profile?

how can i check which profile is getting used?

regards!

Can you please post MediaInfo details for the file. Serviio will only match the first audio stream.

Hey!
how can o post the mediainfo? about the file?

i just found Mezzmo now its also a LDNA server and with it everything works great! but i want to use serviio! i could not find a way to look in to the profiles of mezzmo its also using ffmpeg.

...
thanks for your help!
