TCP50S30 can't get transcoding to work

I have a bunch of Avi files Xvid with mp3 for audio. When I go to DLNA on my tv it says cannot play the files. I changed the profile of my TV to panasonic Viera. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm seeing the same thing on my TC-P46ST30, and by looking at the logs, it looks like Serviio isn't coming into play at all. Trying to play an xvid avi bombs out immediately, and the request doesn't even register with Serviio.

I'm seeing nothing in the logs for the avi files I am trying to play. It's like the request isn't even being sent.

I think this is the part that would be of interest to you?

this is the beginning of the file, there should be lines of when the GET request for the video comes

Thanks for looking into this. Here is a copy of the log. I stopped the service started it, tried to open the video.

Thanks

Here is the part of the log where I actually open and view it (Mp4 but the audio had to be transcoded).

try executing this command, then rename the resulting .stf to .mpg and add it to Serviio library and try playing then (natively)

  Code:

ffmpeg.exe -i "F:\Music\Cowboys and Aliens 2011-720p MP4 AAC Extended BRRip-CC\Cowboys and Aliens 2011-720p MP4 AAC Extended BRRip-CC.mp4" -y -vcodec copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -copyts -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Serviio\transcoding-temp-734-MPEG2TS.stf

Also post MediaInfo of the original file

Thanks for the advise. I think I figured out what the problem is. My TV doesn't support DivX, and in the profile for Panasonic Viera it looks like it assumes that DivX is OK. I selected the Toshiba profile and I was able to play my AVIs. The command you mentioned in teh previous post was for an actual movie that Serviio could play (mp4). So I will try to tweak the profile and I will post back once I get it optimised, so that you guys have a profile for a Panasonic Viera that doesn't play DivX.

Thanks

In fact it seems that
- E30 supports divx
- T30 doesn't support divx

Could you check this linkfor your S30 model?

I am also having problems getting Serviio to run with my tcp50s30. I'm connected to a wired network, running Vista 64 . I can see all the files/movies but I keep getting a Cannot Read File message. Is there something I'm missing or is Vista 64 just a peice of crap for media sharing ?

Never mind I got it to work, I also just set it to the Toshiba setting. Having a problem with some movies where the audio is out of sync tho.
