Transcoding does not work (anymore)

I had transcoding of WMV files working by default in 0.62. Now I delted it and installed 1.x (both on Linux).

I have a Samsung UE C6200 TV. I edited the Profile id="7" section in profiles.xml to transcode all WMV files by default. Still it does not play on my Samsung TV.

Here is the section I added:

  Code:
         <!-- transcode (actually rewrap) all WMV containers, use mp3, leave video alone -->      
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="20000">
            <Matches container="asf" />
          </Video>



Can I get this working somehow? Also I would like to transcode all FLV files so they run on my TV. How do I do that?

Thanks,
sampy

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

ASF files should normally play without transcoding on the C series. FLV is already set up in the C/D/E profile.

Make sure you're using the proper profile. If you do, enable detailed logging and post it here incl playing the asf file.

I tried to isolate the part where I press play on a FLV file followed by the error. Can you make any sense of this?

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

In case this is important: the folder '/tmp/Serviio' does exist.

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

Run the command
ffmpeg -i /media/Data/_downloads/DIY/BAUHAUS/h_tapezieren.flv -y -threads 1 -copyts -c:v mpeg2video -b:v 20000k -maxrate:v 20000k -bufsize:v 20000k -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -c:a ac3 -b:a 48k -ac 1 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f mpegts /tmp/Serviio/transcoding-temp-320-7-ORIGINAL.stf

and post the output. It will show the errors that caused ffmpeg to fail. Unfortunately Serviio does not display these messages in its log.

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

When I use avconv instead of ffmpeg it transcodes the file successfully. I just played it in VLC.

Maybe Serviio can just use avconv on Linux instead of ffmpeg?

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

You really should use the latest ffmpeg, having said that, add -Dffmpeg.location=/path/to/avconv to the JAVA_OPTS line at the bottom of serviio.sh and Serviio will use it

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

I will try that. Thanks!

I have the default ffmpeg 4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 that comes with Ubuntu. What should I do to install the current ffmpeg?

I think avconv is just a wrapper around ffmpeg, right?

There is a guide on the wiki under Linux.

Re: Transcoding does not work (anymore)

The tip to include avconv in serviio.sh worked great. Thanks!!!

Maybe Serviio could check the ffmpeg version or something like that and warn the user via Swing-Dialog that something is wrong with ffmpeg.

Cheers,
