WDTV Live (2011) and TrueHD transcode

Currently using Serviio v0.6.1 with WDTV Live 2011 edition.

My problem is that my receiver doesn't support TrueHD decoding, so I'd like Serviio to transcode TrueHD to ex. Dolby Digital (AC3?).

Is it possible to manually edit the profiles to make Serviio do this? Perhaps it can be provided in the next update?

Thanks for a great software!

Sounds terrific! I have attached it.

I don't know what the best target transcoding from TrueHD is - DTS maybe? AC3? I don't know much about this stuff so I'm just happy if it can be done. Thanks!

profiles.xml


Thanks! But it doesn't work:(

When starting serviio after replacing profiles.xml it says:
Cannot connect to Serviio server, it does not seem to be running. Exiting...


I tried changing "turehd" to "truehd" in your edit (I think that was a mistake no?) and also "mkv" to "matroska" (same) but it still gives me the error.

Yes. I downloaded the profiles.xml, changed the typos, saved it, replaced the original one and restarted my computer. Error message then shows up. If I replace the new profiles.xml with the old one and restart again it works perfectly fine so it must be something with your changes - I just don't know what because it looks ok to me:S
