[solved]profile "playstation3"

hello, can you tell me which line to add to the profile Serviio " playsation3 " to that it can read MPEG -4 file ( p10 / AVC / h.264 ) with AAC audio ( MP4 ) .

thank you a lot
See you soon

i was unaware that the ps3 can't read a mp4 with those settings. but it may be a container related issue or codecs used to create the file, but honestly it may need to be transcoded to be played.

exact details on the file will help. like a mediainfo page... like this or a sheet view using mediainfo....

just a screen shot of the mediainfo example of an mp4 video file i have

well this is puzzling to me as im not sure why this file wont be played on a ps3.

the only thing i think may be the issue is the codec used to create the file and or the p10 profile.

can you remux the file to a proper format? or re-encode it?

I use any video converter or xmedia recode - both are free.



but as i said not sure why it wont read the file.... if you want to just force all mp4 to be transcoded then you can use this in your profile... i have added it to the <transcode> section of the profile.xml.
and just in case make a backup of your profile - Copy you profile.xml to a safe location... flash drive... my docs... the desktop.... etc...


ok here is the transcode section with the added part for all mp4 to be always transcoded.



<Transcoding>
<!-- Transcode all h264 video with HIGH/MAIN > Level 4.1 on MPEG-TS stream with MPEG2VIDEO and ac3 audio transcoding -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
<!--

</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" >

<!-- all other unplayable files just transcode to mpeg2 -->

</Audio>
</Transcoding>


let me know if that helps... or if just re-encoding the file helps.

could also possibly be that your ps3 needs a software update as well.
what version of serviio are you using?
what settings are you using in serviio?

there are a lot of variables that can affect what plays and what will not.

good evening,
thank you very much for that , I have forgotten to say that I use the profile " playstation 3 " to play audio file on a ikéa television. The big problem I encounter is from the mpeg4 file that are not read. I manage to read the mpeg4 file with the profile " sony bdp - sx70 / smp - n100 (2010 ) us , but this profile read the video file with DTS soundtrack . grrr . thank you very much for your help and sorry but my English is not very good .

I hope you got it sorted out.

the changes i posted will force serviio to always transcode mp4 files that use h264 as its codec ....

but you could always edit out the part that says this

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />

to this instead

<Matches container="mp4" />

that way no matter the codec used by the mp4 file, serviio will transcode all mp4 files.

hope this helps

cheers
