Serviio

hello, can you tell me which line to add to the profile Serviio " playsation3 " to that it can read MPEG -4 file ( p10 / AVC / h.264 ) with AAC audio ( MP4 ) .

thank you a lot
See you soon

i was unaware that the ps3 can't read a mp4 with those settings. but it may be a container related issue or codecs used to create the file, but honestly it may need to be transcoded to be played.

exact details on the file will help. like a mediainfo page... like this or a sheet view using mediainfo....

hello
two veiled requested screenshot
cordially

thank you very much for your help

well this is puzzling to me as im not sure why this file wont be played on a ps3.

the only thing i think may be the issue is the codec used to create the file and or the p10 profile.

can you remux the file to a proper format? or re-encode it?

I use any video converter or xmedia recode - both are free.



but as i said not sure why it wont read the file.... if you want to just force all mp4 to be transcoded then you can use this in your profile... i have added it to the <transcode> section of the profile.xml.
and just in case make a backup of your profile - Copy you profile.xml to a safe location... flash drive... my docs... the desktop.... etc...


ok here is the transcode section with the added part for all mp4 to be always transcoded.



<Transcoding>
<!-- Transcode all h264 video with HIGH/MAIN > Level 4.1 on MPEG-TS stream with MPEG2VIDEO and ac3 audio transcoding -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
<!--

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">

<Matches container="avi" vCodec="h264" />
<Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264" />

</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" >
<Matches container="wtv" />

<!-- all other unplayable files just transcode to mpeg2 -->

<Matches container="asf" vCodec="vc1" aCodec="wmapro"/> <!-- only 2 channel audio is natively supported -->

</Video>

</Audio>
</Transcoding>


let me know if that helps... or if just re-encoding the file helps.

could also possibly be that your ps3 needs a software update as well.
what version of serviio are you using?
what settings are you using in serviio?

there are a lot of variables that can affect what plays and what will not.

good evening,
thank you very much for that , I have forgotten to say that I use the profile " playstation 3 " to play audio file on a ikéa television. The big problem I encounter is from the mpeg4 file that are not read. I manage to read the mpeg4 file with the profile " sony bdp - sx70 / smp - n100 (2010 ) us , but this profile read the video file with DTS soundtrack . grrr . thank you very much for your help and sorry but my English is not very good .

I hope you got it sorted out.

the changes i posted will force serviio to always transcode mp4 files that use h264 as its codec ....

but you could always edit out the part that says this

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />

to this instead

<Matches container="mp4" />

that way no matter the codec used by the mp4 file, serviio will transcode all mp4 files.

hope this helps

cheers

good evening, thank you for your answer.
