PS3 and Sony Bravia 2010 TV does not recognize WTV files

PS3 sees no files that are WTV files, but sees MP4s

Here is the ffmpeg -i file.

At least one output file must be specified

Have profiles.xml open and it has the transcoding for wtv.

Thank you for the help.

On PS3 profile, WTV are only remuxed, not transcoded...

On your ffmpeg output I saw :
[mpeg2video @ 0161DAE0] 0x0 is invalid

So you probably have to force mpeg2video transcoding...

Add this custom profile on profiles.xml just before the last </Profiles> element:

  Code:

   <Profile id="PS3wtv" name="Playstation 3 - WTV record" extendsProfileId="4">
      <Transcoding>
         <!-- Transcode all recorded WTV -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" forceVTranscoding="true" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
            <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>   
   </Profile>

And select it on serviio console.

Thank you for your help.

I added those lines and restarted the server and selected the new Profile.

Still can't see the WTV files on PS3.

I redid the ffmpeg -i and it came with the same error.

Not certain I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you again for your help.

I added those lines and restarted the server and selected the new Profile.

After a profiles.xml edition, you have to restart serviio services (or reboot), restart server does not reload profiles.xml...then select the new profile "Playstation 3 - WTV record"

I did reboot and selected Playstation 3 - WTV record - still can't see WTV files.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. I not good with the programming languages and probably are saying things inaccurately.

You mentioned before that this is muxing and not transcoding. Why am I adding lines that include/forcing transcoding?

Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate the time you have given me.
