I've been struggling to get my Samsung BD-player to accept the live TV from the LiveFeeds plugin. Most of the ones I want to watch are flv streams which depending on what profile i use are either remuxed into mpegts or transcoded and remuxed into mpegts streams. I'd like to avoid the transcoding if possible, but for some reason a lot of the streams will not play when just remuxed (they play when transcoded). Failure mode differs, but often complains about missing codec or incompatible video. However, if I remux into mp4 or for that matter flv and dump to a file on a USB stick the player will happily play the video which a) proves that it can handle the video and b) leads me to believe that the player doesn't always handle the mpegts generated by ffmpeg.
It seems like the player might accept flv streams, can I send the stream without remuxing, without having ffmpeg involved at all? If so, any hints on how? I've read the thread about the Samsung C/D-series profile but that doesn't address this, the streams will be mpegts either way.
One observation. When I watch live material, the player will always identify the stream as mpeg, when Servioo streams a local flv file it is identified as x-flv, what gives?
