Does Transcoding supports WMV2 and FLV1/VP6F?

WMV2 and FLV1/VP6F with Nellymoser audio (FLV in H264 is OK) are a pain in the a** for most brands of TVs that are capable of streaming as well for most portable Media players.

Both my Samsung TV and WDTV Live wouldn't play WMV2 and FLV with FLV1/VP6F (FLVs in H264 are OK)....now reading about this "Transcoding" feature of Serviio, does that mean my Samsung TV and WDTV Live can now play these two types of files? and how does one know if this "Transcoding" is on/off or working for FLV/WMV2 files?

Is "Transcoding" dependent on the chip-sets that on the device/TV/Media player also? I read somewhere as long as the chip-set on a device doesn't support FLV/WMV2, no amount of "Transcoding" will help other than remux/recode using a different codec.

Thanks.

transcoding is configured in profiles.xml: http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24
both of the formats you should be able to transcode. I'm not sure if they are already set up for your profiles/devices, but you can add it yourself.

Thanks again Petr.

OK, I just tested FLV1/VP6F and they are working on my Samsung but not the WDTV Live, and such I'm assuming "Transcoding" of FLV is already in Samsung profile but not in WDTV profile due to "Generic", right?

As with WMV2, both still couldn't play and here is the info:

P/s I still have a lot to learn about editing the codes, please ignore my previous "coding" request!
