Original XBox transcoding profile reqd

Hi,
I'm sure one must have been posted but I have searched & cannot find a transcoding profile for the original XBox (mainly, I want .MKVs transcoding but I have no clue regards the profile config).
Thanks,
Fes

Any idea what formats it can play? Also I doubt it's got DLNA / UPnP.

I think the original xbox used the original XBMC (Xbox Media Center). Alot depends on if the xbox is modded or not. I think it use to support upnp. I will have to dig out my sons old xbox and hook it up and see if it works.

yes that correct had to be modded to add the function.

that's what I thought, XBMC on it... but then why would you really need DLNA?

exactly zip but each to there own and tbh the generic profile should work with xbmc.

The original XBox with XBMC cannot playback .mkv files (lack of power) - I heard Serviio could be used to transcode the .mkv files

I found this profile that supposedly does it but I think it's syntax is incorrect - service stops with:

2011-12-28 13:59:14,521 ERROR [XmlUtils] XML Profiles.xsd didn't pass validation, reason: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'User-Agent'. One of '{UPnPSearch, HttpHeaders}' is expected.

<Profile id="21" name="XBOX-XBMC" extendsProfileId="1">
<Detection>
<User-Agent>.*XBMC.*</User-Agent>
</Detection>
<Transcoding>

<Matches container="matroska" />
<Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="asf" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>

As I said, I'm not up to speed with all this, my apologies, I was hoping there was one floating around for xbox xbmc

If you only want to transcode mkv files then try this:

  Code:

<Profile id="21" name="XBOX-XBMC" extendsProfileId="1">
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" maxVBitrate="8192">
<Matches container="matroska" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>

It might also be enough to only remux the h264 inside mkv to mpegts like this:

  Code:

<Profile id="21" name="XBOX-XBMC" extendsProfileId="1">
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" >
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264"/>
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>

I'll give that a go - didn't want to make work here btw lol.

No you are fine, I had forgotten about using an original xbox as a renderer. If we can get this working I can hook up one more of my TV's to serviio.
