Serviio

Posted: **Sat Jul 09, 2011 3:56 am**

Installed Serviio for WHS and it works great. Does anyone have the profile to transcode FLAC to LPCM for an OPPO BDP-83. Searched this forum and came up empty. Thanks !

this is transcode section you would need:

Code:: <Audio targetContainer="lpcm"> <Matches container="flac" /> </Audio>

To make a full profile for the device we would need more information on it:

see my signiture for howto ( Provide supported formats of a device )

i installed the tool but it doesnt list all of my devices, only my dvr but not my tv and oppo dvd player which show up in my server console. I even looked for it by ip address but no avail. Any ideas? I tried the original profile you gave me but my device doesnt see the files so i assume i need a custom profile for the device? Does anyone have an Oppo BDP-83 profile?

This tool help us to determine format supported by the device.
But first step, you can start with the generic profile (default) and try.
Second step, we could try to add specific transcoding information in addition to generic profile inheritance.

Could you clear the device list on the serviio console, enable detailed logging (see siognature link), restart serviio service and post the log file here?
We could find information for device auto detection.

According to this information Oppo BDP-93 supports LPCM audio, are there DLNA differences with BDP-83, not sure( Wifi, 3D,etc).

Look at this:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2677#p16403

Code:: <Profile id="14" name="OPPO BDP83" extendsProfileId="1"> <Detection> <HttpHeaders> <User-Agent>.*OPPO.*</User-Agent> </HttpHeaders> </Detection> <Transcoding> <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3"> <Matches container="avi" /> <Matches container="mp4" /> </Video> <Audio targetContainer="lpcm"> <Matches container="flac" /> </Audio> </Transcoding> </Profile>

BDP-93 also supports FLAC but not the BDP-83

bens993 wrote:BDP-93 also supports FLAC but not the BDP-83

So
<Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
<Matches container="flac" />
</Audio>

could be removed for BDP-93

I have quite a few flacs ripped from mediamonkey. The OPPO DVD player displays the individual folders but not the individual flac files. I know this is because the OPPO doesnt support FLAC, I am using generic transcode profile but what is missing in the profile that allows the flac files to appear? What do they appear as?

I read the signature link regarding editing the file log4j.xml in the config folder however I do not have a config folder or log4j.xml. I am running Serviio on windows home server v1 not windows xp, does that matter? I am pretty computer savy although i flunked cobol and fortran. When I run device spy from UPNP tools I was only able to run on the PC, the upnp tools msi file doesnt install through the server like most add ins do. I wish someone had some specific instructions geared towards WHS. I am very close but I am doing something wrong. Please help.

you will still have a conf folder.

32bit. - c:\program file\serviio\config\

64bit. - c:\program file(x86)\serviio\config\

Again Serviio is installed on the server itself but I checked just for grins and I do not have a serviio config folder on my c drive. WHS is an OS for a server. I am using this version of serviio. http://serviiowhs.codeplex.com/ Perhaps I should go on that forum to find location of config file. I still dont get why UPNP tools installed on my cd drive when it is an msi file that should install on the server OS through the add ins console. The server OS didnt recognize the UPNP developer tool msi file.

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2011 9:13 pm**

you have to get there through Remote Desktop. But i think the WHS console has a button for editing the config files.

Ok heres a little information or you WHS ( windows home server ) operates like any other version of windows you can even use it as your desktop OS if you really wish. Now you either have to sit infront of the server with a keyboard monitor and mouse connected or as zip stated remote desktop into the server, once logged in you have to then go to c:\Program files\serviio\config\ and do as we have instructed and edit the config file.

for your reference to http://serviiowhs.codeplex.com/ IS NOT SERVIIO all that is is an addon to allow you to control serviio from WHS control panel.

the Intel tools installer IS NOT the same as the addon installers for WHS it has to be installed on the OS by being either actualy sitting at the server (with keyboard and monitor) or by remote desktop connection NOT via the WHS control panel.

hopefully this clears up a few thing and we can try and sort your original problem/

ok thanks for the clarification on the upnp tools. I visited the
serviio for whs site http://serviiowhs.codeplex.com/ and got the reply below pertaining to turning on detailed logging and editing the log4j.xml file. The remote desktop method worked for me. Hopefully I can post the sesults soon.

ptyork "You should be able to access log4j.xml and profiles.xml using your windows pc. Simply open up a windows explorer window (e.g., click on "My Computer"). Then in the address bar (same place as a web browser) type in:

\\MyServerName\c$\Program Files\Serviio\config

Obviously use your own server name. The c$ is a "hidden" shared folder that you SHOULD have access to. If it asks for a user id and password, use "Administrator" and your Windows Home Server's password.

If that doesn't work, then you can use Remote Desktop to connect to your WHS. Press Win+R (or click on Start / Run... if you have WinXP), type "mstsc" and press enter (stands for "MicroSoft Terminal Services Client" which is the old name for Remote Desktop). This should bring up a dialog box that asks for your computer name. Enter the name of the home server and click Connect. Log in using the "Administrator" user id and your home server's password. You should then be looking at a desktop. Open up My Computer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Serviio\config.

Incidentally, make sure you use a text editor like Notepad to open the configuration files. Double clicking on them by default opens them in Internet Explorer, which won't allow you to edit them." Hope this helps other WHS users.

Thanks I figured out how to turn on logging on the server, I copied and pasted to notepad and have uploaded an attachment of contents of my serviio.log file I had to delete all of the library manager logs and metadata logs make the file a manageable size. Hope this helps and thank you for your help.

Did you try adding this profile to your profiles.xml file and selecting it in the console??

I entered the following because I do not need video. It was added through the edit profile file tab in whs. I enabled transcoding in the serviio console as well. I can see folders but no files.

Try transcode into mp3:

Code:: <Profile id="14" name="OPPO BDP-83" extendsProfileId="1"> <Detection> <HttpHeaders> <User-Agent>.*OPPO.*</User-Agent> </HttpHeaders> </Detection> <Transcoding> <Audio targetContainer="mp3"> <Matches container="flac" /> </Audio> </Transcoding> </Profile>
