Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDATED]

Hi there,

I am trying to get .WTV files to transcode and stream to my Samsung D5000 LED.

Revieing other posts I have ammended my profile for the Samsung C/D Series to this:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" forceVTranscoding="true">
<Matches container="wtv" />
</Video>

When I do this the Windows Service when trying to start the service it just stops. I have also tried to use just mpeg with out the TS. No difference.

Running Windows 7 HP X64. Please Help as I cannot transcode .wtv files.

Thanks

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile

Just an update,

When I remove the extra code and put it back to the standard profile windows service restarts and works no problems.

The problem with using the standard is that It will not transcode .wtv files as my samsung still comes up saying file format not supported.

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

[UPDATED]

I looked in the log file and had a problem with the edited line. I was using notepad so swapped to PSPAD and the problem has dissapeared. I assume character were being added by notepad.

Anyway tried various transcode configuration to transcode .wtv files from Windows media Centre recordings to my samsung but I have had no luck. Can someone suggest a render profile code to use to achieve this. Thanks

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

I've been researching this thru the forums here, but found very little so far.
Your code change was:
  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" forceVTranscoding="true">
<Matches container="wtv" />
</Video>
I did find a Samsung D6000 user using the Profile id="7" name="Samsung TV / player (C/D-series) as follows:
  Code:
<Profile id="7" name="Samsung TV / player (C/D-series)" extendsProfileId="2">

         </Video>
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts">
            <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>
         <!-- transcode audio only for wmv with wmapro -->
         <Video targetContainer="asf" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="256">
            <Matches container="asf" aCodec="wmapro" />
         </Video>
         <Audio targetContainer="lpcm">
            <Matches container="asf" />
            <Matches container="mp4" />
            <Matches container="flac" />
            <Matches container="ogg" />
         </Audio>
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>
As a temporary fix, and hopefully not permanent, you could try to do video transcoding (quite slow on a slow PC) instead of the code you posted, which will just transcode the audio only (quite fast).

To transcode the video also, try replacing your code in the profiles.xml file with:
  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" forceVTranscoding="true">
            <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

Thanks for that profile.

Copied and pasted and it worked. Went to try and play the .wtv file on TV and keeps coming up with Unsupported File Format.

Tried this code from another forum to transcode:
Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" forceVTranscoding="true">
<Matches container="wtv" />
</Video>

Tried another but TV then said unsupport Video Codec.

Any ideas on correct transcoding for WTV files to work?

Thanks :D

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

OK. maybe try this if it said unsupported video codec:
  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" forceVTranscoding="true">
            <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>

Tried the code but TV coming up saying Video Codec not supported? Is there a way to transcode into different Video Codec?

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

Transcoding Configuration for Serviio is here: http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24

Only 2 target video codecs are allowed:
  Code:
targetVCodec - optional; name of video codec to transcode into or omit this attribute to keep the video stream as it is; possible values: mpeg2video (MPEG2), wmv2 (WMV9)
Based on that, maybe you can try:
  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="wmv2" forceVTranscoding="true">
            <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

Thanks for that, Tried the WMV2 but still the same with the TV saying Video Codec not supported.

I wonder if its the WTV files as they are from Free to Air TV most HD?

Does the FFMpeg info below give any clues?

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

I will look at the ffmpeg listing, but you can click on the "Code" word at the top of your editing window to put your code or results that are lengthy in between the "Code" formatting, then choose preview before you post the edit. You can go back and edit it now if you want to make it look like the previous posts I did with the code inside the code blocks. :)

Also, did you try to play the .wtv file locally from a USB port on your TV to see if it works that way?

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

Hopefully, someone will chime in with a suggestion on how to fix this.

We know that .wtv files don't play natively or locally from your TV's USB port.

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

@serviio-buddy: If the wtv file transcodes, but does not play, I would look at the transcoded file (before it is deleted, in the temp directory) with MediaInfo/text or something similar. Basically, all you have to do is find the file, change the extension to .ts, or whatever you are transcoding into, and then run MediaInfo.

I had to tweak my profile a bit, to transcode .wtv files from WMC to play consistently, good chance you can do that here too.

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

I had some information from direct from Panasonic, and also help from Cerberus b/f I found the right way for the Viera. FYI, Panasonic said that when using ffmpeg on files recorded from WMC, for best results transcode to Mpeg 2 PS and not TS. (this fixed the problem of some files working and some not). I have no idea if this applies here tho. Also have to include asf files if converting .wtv files to dvr-ms in Windows 7...

So, with some hand-holding by Cerberus, for files from Win 7/WMC I ended up with this:

<!-- Remux WMC, WTV and dvr-ms files to MPEG-PS with no transcoding-->
<Video targetContainer="mpeg">
<Matches container="wtv" />
<Matches container="asf" vCodec="mpeg2video" />
</Video>

(2nd line is compromise solution for dvr-ms files, leaving files asf files with other codecs to be handled in other ways).

Panasonic tech support seems quite familiar with the WMC-to-ffmpeg questions, so good chance someone at Samsung is also, ;)

Good luck.

Re: Serviio Service wont start after changing profile [UPDAT

Thanks for the info. I am based in New Zealand and Reviewing my WTV files I see that these are MPEG4 and Not MPEG2 like in other parts of the world. Would this make a difference?

Yes, that will make a difference, definitely, I did not realize that was the case in NZ.
