The XML format is just text, so you can use Windows Notepad. However, you'll find it much easier to work with if you install Notepad ++. It's free and provides color coding to the text to help understand it all. Then just copy and paste the line I provided where I mentioned.

Working now!!! Thanks so much for your help!

tried changing to the Sony BDP-Sx100 (2013) profile and as expected no sound like before.
I tried putting in the transcoding line <Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" /> where I thought it should go, but didn't work. Should the same line work with that profile as it did with the 2010 profile?

I'm looking at that profile, and I don't see a good existing place to add it. So, lets create a new one!

  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
      <Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" />
</Video>


Just paste this code directly below the first video transcoding section. Make sure it is outside of the <Video> and </Video> tags. Looking at a fresh Profiles file, add a blank line at line 1310, which is just a comment line now. Paste it in the blank line, then restart the service and give it a try.

Re: No sound

How old is the bluray? I have a pano from 2014 that gives the same error and no sound for some files but chromecast plays them fine. Would be interested in knowing if this works.

Also, I like sublime text better than notepad++ but to each their own..

Re: No sound

if your file has something else you won't get audio without transcoding. What profile is assigned to your TV?

Re: No sound

I am using the old version of "Serviio Pro 1.5.2", using the profile "Sony BDP-Sx100 (2013)".

My BluRay Player is a "Sony BDP-S6200", that's a very good BluRay player to play many formats.

My Cinema Processor is a "Pioneer SC-LX71".

Playing mainly MKV x264 video files, with AC3 audio works great.

I am having the issue were if it has an EAC3 audio track, the sound won't play as it's not supported.

When I try to edit the "profiles.xml" file trying to add the lines of

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="*" aCodec="eac3" />
</Video>

It won't start the server, and it can't connect until I remove the lines again.

I am wondering if I am placing it in the wrong place, or something else is stopping me from editing the file.

I have attached my xml file.

Hopefully someone can help?

I have had the problem to long, and always end up demuxing my audio from the mkv files, and encoding it to AC3, then muxing it back into the mkv.

Re: No sound

You also have to upgrade your version of Serviio. EAC3 wasnt recognised until version 1.8.

Suggest updating to the latest version.

Re: No sound

Updated to the latest version, then edited the profile again, and it seems to be working now.

Thanks!
