[SOLVED] PS3 .mkv file h264/AVC?

Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:37 pm by femxiii

Hello everyone!

I am having some trouble playing these specific mkv files on my Playstation 3, it tries to play but just pops up saying "The data type is not supported". I have not changed anything from the default profiles.

I have manged to get around this for now by adding <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" /> to the PlayStation profile (as shown below), but from what I guess, now I'm transcoding all h264 files and I shouldn't really need to right?

Code:: <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384"> <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.1" /> <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="main" levelGreaterThan="4.1" /> <Matches container="avi" vCodec="dvvideo" /> <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" /> <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" />  </Video>

I've tried to include all the information I can here:

You can create a new PS3 custom profile that you can select when you have problem with some mkv file.
This custom profile inherite of the original profile with specific custom transcoding settings:
(copy/past on profiles.xml file just before the last "</Profiles>" element)

Code:: <Profile id="PS3custom" name="Playstation 3 * " extendsProfileId="4"> <Transcoding>  <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384"> <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" /> </Video> </Transcoding> </Profile>

Merci beaucoup Illico pour ce profile. Solution idéale au problème que je rencontrais aussi. Efficace comme d'hab'

Do I copy and paste this into the profiles.xml file or create a brand new one??

Thanks.

<Profile id="PS3custom" name="Playstation 3 * " extendsProfileId="4">

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">

Copy/past the section on existing profiles.xml file, just before the last "</Profiles>" element. That will create a new profile entry on serviio console. Then you can manually select it, when you have problem with specific file.
