Serviio

Hi Guys,

I have this AVC movie, which was playing on my Sony Bravia through TVMobili just fine. But then I have decided to update TVMobili and the file could not be played anymore, the TV says it's 0h 0m length. After trying this and that I've removed TVMobili and decided to Switch to Servio.

The file is visible, the length is stated correctly, but the TV says movie cannot be played. Please advise, should I stay away from AVC?

can you post the informartion about the video, see signature on how.

Also can you post your renderers and the profiles that are selected in the serviio console for them.

Sorry for misinformation, it is actually XVID with AC3 sound:

I can provide the .torrent file if you need the exact video for dissection.

try renaming teh fiel to .mp4 and then adding it to library. i have found this works on some files but sadly not all.

Nope, didn't help. Playback not available.

What Sony have you got ?
What profile are you using in Serviio ?
Can you post the full list of data from media info, I'm interested in what created the file mainly ?

I have a Sony KDL-46CX520, everything ffmpeg -i reported I have posted before the screenshot from VLC. Profile is Sony Bravia TV 2011:



ffmpeg -i output again:

Get mediainfo at http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en it will get a lot more detail about the file. Select 'text' from the 'view' menu and then paste that into a 'code' block so its readable.

The problem I had was with "Writing application : transcode-1.0.6" which I posted about in the Sony forum. No work around as yet unless you change the profile to 2010 profile manually then then are transcoded to mpeg2 so will play. Nothing is wrong with the file as such, just Sony firmware doesn't like it. All other details were fine, same as other files that did play and form the 50 lines of details about the file that was the only constant between those that did and didn't play.

Wow, thanks! After changing profile to "Sony Bravia TV" it worked! Here is the MediaInfo output:

it might be cause its a opendml file...can't see why else it won't play native

For this specific avi file, you can change and select "Sony 2010 profile" for your CX520 model, it will be transcode to mpeg2video.
