Samsung B Series - Accelerated frame rate problem
Hello, everyone.
First off, I want to say that I absolutely LOVE Serviio. I've been on nearly a two year quest to find a fast and descriptive media server and, finally, Serviio seems to be the answer.
I have a bit of a problem, however. I own a Samsung B-Series Plasma (PN58B860) and am experiencing an accelerated frame rate on certain MKV files—though I haven't fully tested yet, I believe it is those that are of a DTS audio nature. The files play and there is sound, but both audio and video are both running at about 2-times the speed they should.
In the past, I've used other media servers and have experienced similar issues. Without any transcoding, the TV will play fluid video at the proper frame rate, but to due to the TV's inability to accept DTS audio, there is no audio and a message of "Not Supported Audio Codec" is displayed. On other occasions, after converting files from MKV to mpeg2, the TV will play the file, but again the frame rate and audio are accelerated as well.
There has to be some sort of fix for this beyond simply transcoding EVERYTHING. It seems like an issue with the container the file takes when the audio is converted from DTS to AC3, but I'm at a loss as to how to change the container. While the video is perfectly fluid without any audio transcoding, it seems like there must be a way to simply get the DTS audio to AC3 and send it to the TV in whatever container resembles the file's native container.
I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone can help. Like I said, I love Serviio and if I can just get these DTS files to play properly I'll have a solution I've been searching for for years.
