Telstra T-Box (Netgem)

I've just installed Serviio on a HP Microserver N36L running FreeBSD. Using it with a Telstra T-Box.

Worked great out of the box except that the T-Box does not decode DTS audio and passes it straight through to its optical audio output. I have my T-Box plugged directly into a TV (stereo audio) so I needed Serviio to transcode DTS audio -> MP3.

This was amazingly simple to do using Serviio's profiles:

  Code:

<Profile id="T-Box" name="T-Box" extendsProfileId="1">
    <Transcoding>
        <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="mp3" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />
        </Video>
     </Transcoding>
</Profile>


The T-Box is made by Netgem so this may be applicable to other Netgem devices -- http://www.netgem.com/telstra.php

Posting this here mainly because when I Googled for a solution I couldn't find one so hopefully this helps other T-Box/Netgem users.

BTW, Serviio rocks
