Sony Bravia 2010 series

[zip]

Are you sure the subtitle isnot part of the stream / muxed together in the container? If you remove the srt from the USB stick, does it still show?

Trying an AVI with SRT(UTF-8) files over USB, No success for me.
See following USB compatible formats

I have tried again. It works. If I remove srt file from flash, there is no subtitle. There is no also subtitle option menu. It appears only if I have avi and srt file on flash with same name. Problem is that only few avi files I can play via usb. I checked two avi files with mediaInfo that gave me almost the same description, but one works and the other not. I still cannot find any explanation.

[Illico]

Could you try this same avi file over DLNA with modification on Sony Bravia Profile like this:

  Code:

   <Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <FriendlyName>BRAVIA.*</FriendlyName>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>
...
...

Could you post "ffmpeg -i" and "MediaInfo" of your "working" avi file?
Could you also post your .srt file?

First of all, firmware version is as you mentioned before (108 at the end). Subtitle also works with the last Harry Potter. It looks that TV plays avi files via usb if they have low bitrate. I have attached a rar file with mediainfo txt description, srt file and also a picture from TV with subtitle on. Letters are quite ugly, narrow and with gray backgroung. My intention is to support you to make subtitle support for serviio. Earlier, Zip mentioned that Sony TVs originaly have no subtitle capabilities. And I also belived the same until few days ago. I do not know what means ffmpeg -i and how to do that.

Thanks a lot, I will check that...

I'm impressed... your srt file works too on my EX501 over USB.

Subtitle Type menu appears with:
- None
- Font1 CP1250
- Font2 CP1251
- Font3 CP1253
- Font4 CP1254

I will try to modify my other srt files and found the good settings and try over DLNA...

Look for the starting byte sequence (little endian vs big endian), some TVs don't like those

New firmware version on my 46EX501 this night: PKG4.099EUL-0108
I will advise when informations will be published

I just downloaded the latest beta version of PS3 Media Server...There is no doubt, serviio is better.Faster browsing. Faster delivering...

It seems that Sony Bravia supports PNG thumbnails (with transparency) for files and folders.
How serviio plan to include PNG?
This request is closed? https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... thumbnails
Is it possible to include more resources (JPEG thumb, PNG thumb) following the movie resource?

well yer cause serviio is the best for sony and samsung TV/BDP

yes there are a few renderers that support PNG thumbnails

How serviio plan to include PNG?

For png thumbnails we'd have to have 1:n relationship between file and thumbnail, so that we always have JPG and (optionally) PNG as well. Or maybe a setting which of the formats should be sent to the renderer.

that ticket is OPEN but has no expected eta on it.

See Above.

Thanks Cerberus, due to my poor english, I'm not sure to understand all this, hence my question:

For png thumbnails we'd have to have 1:n relationship between file and thumbnail, so that we always have JPG and (optionally) PNG as well. Or maybe a setting which of the formats should be sent to the renderer.

The note on the ticket is because the indexing process would have to generate both, JPG and PNG thumbnail for the resource and store in in Serviio's library - that would take double the space and some more time to index.
What would be the gain in making the thumbnails transparent? I can think of one case, where the Samsung C series devices (stupidly) stretch DVD covers to file 16:9 icon.

Hello, I write a query in Czech?
This is a TV KDL-46EX715 and functional titles.

Hello, I write a query in Czech?

If you want...you could also use google translate

I thought that the author is Czech serviio and communication for me would be a lot easier.
For translation using Google Translate.

Send me a PM

First of all thank you for this excellent server. After trawling through a number odf DNLA servers, this is definitely the best for my purposes , mythtv server and a Sony ex503 n the UK.

Only addition I needed ( on 0.5.2 running on my mythtv backend ) was:

Freesat HD channels recorded by Mythtv ( BBC1 HD, ITV1 HD, BBC HD, 4 HD ) are detected as AVC_TS_HP_HD_MPEG1_L2_ISO, as they have both AC3 and Mpeg1 tracks. They didnt show up on the Sony , but the added line below fixed that. They show up, and allow both audio tracks to be accessed by remote.

<!-- rename transcoded mpeg2ts with h264 to one of the TV's supported profiles -->
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="AVC_TS_HD_24_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_50_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_60_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_EU_ISO">AVC_TS_MP_HD_AC3_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="AVC_TS_HD_24_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_50_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_60_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_EU_ISO">AVC_TS_MP_SD_AC3_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>

<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg" name="AVC_TS_HD_24_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_50_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_60_AC3_ISO,AVC_TS_HD_EU_ISO">AVC_TS_HP_HD_MPEG1_L2_ISO</MediaFormatProfile>


The only other feature missing for me is playing DVD.isos natively, which is available in ps3-server.

Thanks red321z.
So we could also add the mime-type="video/vnd.dlna.mpeg-tts" AVC_TS_HP_HD_MPEG1_L2_T (for same stream that AVC_TS_HP_HD_MPEG1_L2_ISO but with timestamps)

  Code:

      <MediaFormatProfiles>
         <!-- rename native mpeg2ts with h264/ac3 ac3 formats to those supported by the tv -->
