MED600X3D - need transcoding on a couple of cases

Hi all…

Use Serviio long time ago and now just took a MED600X3D.

I need to use them together for a couple of cases…

MED600X3D reads almost everything I tested so, basically, I want access Serviio from MED600X3D, just to read RAW photos and everything 4K related.

For that, I know I need a profile that I guess will not be much complicated, but I’m not reaching there…

Given the MED600X3D deals very well with Full HD, just need transcode RAW photos and 4K related files to a format that not “loose” more quality than the necessary to make it compatible.

Can someone help me, please?

Thank you very much…

Sorry guys...

RAW (NEF) it's working... I don't know what was the problem the first time i tried...

So... The question is now only about everything related to 4K...

Thank you...

Try the WDTV Live profile. This profile only transcodes a few video formats (including HEVC which I presume your 4K files are - check with MediaInfo).
If it works use this as the basis to create your own profile.

If it's MP4 4K video, try profile like this:

  Code:
                        <!-- transcode 4K video to 1080*1920 H264 -->
                        <!-- transcode with H264 video -->
                        <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="h264" targetACodec="ac3" maxHeight="1080" maxVBitrate="20000">
                                <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.2" />
                        </Video>

Hi again!

Thank you for your help… :-)

After see your advices and check some other things, I ended up with the following profile:

  Code:
   <Profile id="MED600X3D" name="Mede8er MED600X3D" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Transcoding>
      <!-- transcode 4K video to 1080*1920 H264 -->
        <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="h264" targetACodec="ac3" maxHeight="1080" maxVBitrate="20000">
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high_10" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high_444" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high_422" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.2" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="main" levelGreaterThan="4.2" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp9" />
         </Video>
       </Transcoding>
   </Profile>


I get sound but no image.
Then I remember to check and using my Sony BDP S790 with its own profile, I have exactly the same problem.
After this, I tried to change the ffmpeg to the last build. The problem remains…

What else should I check?
Any idea of what can be the problem?

Thank you very much again…

Ok...

Was reading this http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22049 and i ended up solving my problem...

Just changed the corresponding line to:

  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" maxHeight="1080" maxVBitrate="20000">


This worked to MED600X3D.
Later i will check the Sony BDP profile to something similar...

Thank you all... :P
