Serviio

Hi,

I am using Serviio to stream content from my home server to my panasonic BD player, I am currently using DLNA on the blu ray player to play the content, I have set Serviio profile to "Panasonic BD player" for this device.

Everytime i play a movie on the BD the films are zoomed in, if anybody can help me fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jon

By zoomed in - do you mean stretched to fill the screen (everyone appears a bit taller and skinnier)?

If so, try the following:

• Back up the file \Serviio\config\Profiles.xml
• Edit the file (using a text editor) and find the Panasonic BD player profile
• Add the following:
  

    Code:

  <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" DAR="16:9" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
   <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" />      
</Video>

  just above the existing line <Video targetContainer="mpegts">.
• Save the file and restart your PC.

If the above doesn't work, try changing the "mpegts" to "mpeg". Let me know if you have to do this (helps with something else).

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help, it now works perfectly now, thanks very much again

Ps by zoomed in, i did mean stretched to fill the screen
