[SOLVED] H264/MP2 Online stream not working on Sony EX723

[Maca]

Hi,

Trying to get this stream running http://195.245.118.40:7781/udp/239.2.2.1:1234
I get a blank screen, in VLC this stream works fine.

Here is my output:

This is a live stream, do you set serviio console as expected?

Yes, it's set as a live stream, it connects seems to play but the screen is blank.

[Illico]

OK, so its probably because the h264 profile level is >4.1.

Could you try to save a sample of the stream and check with MediaInfo tool, information about this media?

A workaround could be to edit the profiles.xml, Sony Bravia 2012 section, then this stream will be transcoded.

  Code:

      <OnlineTranscoding>
...
         <Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" forceInheritance="true">
            <Matches container="asf" /> <!-- to support mms:// streams -->
            <Matches container="flv" />
            <Matches container="mpegts" vCodec="h264"/>
         </Video>
      </OnlineTranscoding>

I tried the profile changes you recommended, but it still didn't work.

Today I decided to update/check my codecs, I found the K lite pack and began the installation.
During the installation it found a DirectShow filter broken (filter data missing). Name: MainConcept MPEG Demultiplexer (mc_demux_mp2_ds_ax)

It removed the item from the registry and continued installing.

Not sure if it was a combination of your profile tweak and the codec fix but the stream now plays!

[Illico]

When you edit profile, you have to restart serviio service or reboot PC.

[Maca]

I see, must be the profile edit then.
Just out of interest does the Sony Bravia 2012 profile make changes to the other Sony Bravia profiles like the 2011 one then?

If I understand your question...
If you edit the Sony 2012 profile section, the Sony Bravia 2011 will inherit of this modification too ( 2010 too).
So on all Sony bravia devices, all "mpegts/h264" online streams will be transcoded to mpeg/mpeg2video/ac3

[Maca]

That makes sense.
Thanks for your help!
