[SOLVED] Humax FOX T2 - MP4 transcoding question

Trying to transcode some MP4 videos to a Humx FOX T2 PVR but having problems setting the profile correctly.

I'm using 1.0.1. The following profile works for MKV files with no problems :

<User-Agent>POSIX DLNADOC.*</User-Agent>
</HttpHeaders>
</Detection>
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="dca" />
</Video>

Tried to add support for some MP4 files using :

<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" /> but it doesn't play them at all.

Here's the output from FFMPEG against one of them and also the DEBUG.LOG

Any thoughts on what's required ? Something to do with the sound ?

Thanks

There is an error on your log file I don't understand...
ZIP, any idea ?

can you try to restart Serviio? It looks like the Browse operation returned the non-transcoded file protocol information, but when you ask for it the profile transcoding info kicks in and it sys the non-transcoded version is not available. Not sure where this discrepancy originated.

I'd already done a few restarts of the service at that point, but it was still the same. Since then I've been playing around a bit more with encodings to try and find something that will work. I've tested on a very small MKV sample file instead of MP4 to try and get to the bottom of the problem.

Here's my test MKV file details from MediaInfo. This file opens up natively on the Humax from USB key and plays fine. I've actually tried using the Generic DLNA profile but still get the same error.

So I tried rehashing my edited profile to what I think is correct :

<Profile id="humaxpvr" name="Humax HDR PVR" extendsProfileId="1">
<Detection>
<HttpHeaders>
<User-Agent>POSIX DLNADOC.*</User-Agent>
</HttpHeaders>
</Detection>
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" >
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>

The log file is attached from when I try to play it using this profile, it seems to be a similar error. I've tried restarting service (and the Humax itself). Also attached the DLNA certificate for the device in case that helps.

Any thoughts on these ?

Thanks

can you post the log again, but from the point you browse to the folder and then play?

Well it looks like a complete reboot of everything has now got this going as it now works with the profile I'd set - thanks for looking into this however.
