Sony Internet TV (Google TV)

Thanks, should've looked in the support area, didn't realize it was a community project. Let you know if we get it working, and post the profile back up.

We cannot get the Serviio Console to "see" our profile. Attached is the profile.xml we are using with our addition for Sony Internet TV at the bottom ProfileID=14. I have stopped and restarted the Serviio service in Windows (more than once) with no avail, the Sony Internet TV does not show up in the drop down box in the Console. Any idea what we are doing wrong?

Never mind on the previous post. Got it working. What determines which file types show up in the listing that Serviio sends to the device for a particular folder. In other words, I have a folder that has .mp4, .avi, and .wmv files and the .wmv files do NOT show up when browsing the folder on the Sony TV. Is the what the <MediaFormatProfiles> are used for?

Try this:

  Code:

   <Profile id="14" name="Sony Internet TV" extendsProfileId="1">
      <Detection>
         <HttpHeaders>
            <X-AV-Client-Info>.*INTERNET TV.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
         </HttpHeaders>
      </Detection>      
      <MediaFormatProfiles>
         <!-- <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/divx">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>  -->
      </MediaFormatProfiles>      
      <Transcoding>
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
            <Matches container="asf" />
            <Matches container="flv" />            
            <Matches container="avi" />
            <Matches container="mp4" />
            <Matches container="matroska" />
         </Video>
         <Audio targetContainer="mp3"> 
            <Matches container="mp4" />
            <Matches container="flac" />
            <Matches container="ogg" />
         </Audio>
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>

The profile you supplied "broke" .mp4 which has always worked. When I comment out the <Matches container="mp4" /> line, the .mp4 files play again. We still don't quite understand why .avi and .mwv files will not show up in the folder listing on the TV (see previous post). We have tried a few different ways using <MediaFormatProfiles> but have had no success. .mp4 and .mpeg or .mpg files all show up just fine.

Just follow up, when I say it "broke" .mp4, I mean the TV says "The file is corrupted or unsupported". Does this say to you that the <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3"> has some part that is not supported on the TV?

For avi, it might be just the mime type, you can change that by using MediaFormatProfile (uncomment it from the example above and try changing the mime type value to some other avi-like version - google). Also remove <Matches container="avi" /> so that it plays natively.

For mkv and wmv, this is most likely not supported natively and needs transcoding. You have those set up in the profile already, try this instead:

  Code:

<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
            <Matches container="asf" />
            <Matches container="flv" />           
            <Matches container="matroska" />
         </Video>

The problem is .avi and .wmv files simply do not show up on the TV in the Folder listing. Doesn't matter if I turn on transcoding or not, I cannot play a file that I cannot select.

Wmv will be transcoded and advertised as mpeg, so it should be visible with the above profile config.
Avi - try different mime type as it also defines whether a file is visible.
