Yamaha BD-A1020

I have a Yamaha BD-A1020 and there is no Profile for it. It's a very good model which plays FLAC and I'll be happy to set up a right profile for this device in Serviio.

Here are supported formats of a device acording to Device Spy:

What shoul I do next? How to config right code?

[zip]

What files can't you play with the generic profile?

[Illico]

Thanks
GetProtocolInfo result added to the wiki : http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=dev ... rt&#yamaha

Could you also provide DeviceDescription xml result from device spy ?
Something like this:

->> I didn't test all the files but I have tried Plex, Nero Media Server, JRiver, miniDLNA, Asset, foobar2000... - Serviio is the best

to Illico
->> Here it is http://192.168.1.81:2870/dmr.xml - I hope ti is what you need.


Guys, thank you very much for your help!!!

I didn't see here http://clip2net.com/s/5eiwjS FLAC - it's ok?
Yamaha BD-A1020 Specs http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/audio-visual/blu-ray-players/bd-a1020_w/?mode=model

I'm sorry, but what should I do with that Yamaha BD-A1020 profile http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=devices_format_support&#yamaha?
I think I'll copy-paste it to Serviio > Config > profiles.xml but now I see that it is a difference in code... mmmm... What's next?

First try with the "Generic profile" selected on Serviio console.
Then if some files in your library are not playable or not visible, post here information about that files format, then we will help you to create a specific profile.

->> Here it is http://192.168.1.81:2870/dmr.xml - I hope ti is what you need.

This is a http link to a local network address that I could not have access (private network)
Could you copy/paste here the content ?
If we have to create a profile for your device, we need some information for serviio to automatically select the proper profile.

I didn't see here http://clip2net.com/s/5eiwjS FLAC - it's ok?
Yamaha BD-A1020 Specs http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/audio-visual/blu-ray-players/bd-a1020_w/?mode=model

It seems that the device support FLAC over USB, but we don't know if it support it over DLNA (serviio).
Try with the "Generic profile".

I'm sorry, but what should I do with that Yamaha BD-A1020 profile http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=devices_format_support&#yamaha?

The wiki page is only a database for serviio advanced user to help to create profile.

I think I'll copy-paste it to Serviio > Config > profiles.xml but now I see that it is a difference in code... mmmm... What's next?

For the moment do not edit the profiles.xml file.
First try with the Generic profile and check which file need to be transcode to a format supported by your device.

Here it is - Device XML

Thanks for device xml.

So now, do try with "Generic Profile" and do you have any files that does not works on your device?

Dear Illico, thank you! Is it ok? - http://clip2net.com/s/5eBkTZ Should I do something else?

I tried and there was 2 files, that didn't work:

Also .m4a, .ape, .wv don't work - as I know it's ok for my Yamaha - but can Serviio convert them automatically like foobar2000 do?

And one more question please - is here http://clip2net.com/s/5eBSgp everything ok for the best quality of audio & video?


P.S. Thank you for the help! - I've bought my first hi-fi system and would like to get 100% from it.

Dear Illico, thank you! Is it ok? - http://clip2net.com/s/5eBkTZ Should I do something else?

Good start, yes.

I tried and there was 2 files, that didn't work:
1. Avatar(ExtendedCollectorsEdition)(2h58m09s)(3D+inserts2D)2009.halfOU(TopGun) - it works ok previously
Info about file from KMPlayer
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L4.0
2. Intouchables.BDRip.1080p - It didn't work previously in Serviio but Nero Media Server opened and played it ok.
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L4.1
Format settings, CABAC : Yes

"previously" .. I don't anderstand.
Could you confirm that the first one "Avatar" works ok with serviio, and the second "Intouchables" not ?

The only significant difference I see is the AVC video codec profile level:
High@L4.0 play fine
High@L4.1 failed

Do you read something about this on your device usermanual ?

Also .m4a, .ape, .wv don't work - as I know it's ok for my Yamaha - but can Serviio convert them automatically like foobar2000 do?

.m4a can be transcode to LCPM lossless with serviio with a custom profile.

But I think .ape and .wv are not supported by serviio, I need confirmation of ZIP (serviio dev')

And one more question please - is here http://clip2net.com/s/5eBSgp everything ok for the best quality of audio & video?

Yes, its a good setting.

"previously" .. I don't anderstand.

- I mean that Avatar was playing good in Serviio before I've opened that topic and you make (or not) changes in Yamaha profile. Or maybe it's because I reinstalled Java... (Serviio console didn't start after PC reboot so I had to uninstall and install Java once again).
The second film - Intouchables - didn't play all the time and I still cannot run it now. When I open it in Serviio - before playing begins the film skips and the next film in the list starts playing.

However, for example, Nero Media Server plays correct bouth films.

Do you read something about this on your device usermanual ?

Maybe it'll be helpful

there is nothing else.

.m4a can be transcode to LCPM lossless with serviio with a custom profile.

What profile should I chose? You recomend me Generic Profile. Maybe you will add a Yamaha BD-A1020 profile in the next version/update of the Serviio?...


P.S. Sorry for my English - I truly try to find correct words

We don't make any changes in Yamaha profile...because we don't create it for the moment.
I recommand to use "Generic Profile" ( this is the default profile) to determine which format are supported in native format without transcoding.
Then when you found format not supported, we will add to future Yamaha profile (in construction).

The second film - Intouchables - didn't play all the time and I still cannot run it now. When I open it in Serviio - before playing begins the film skips and the next film in the list starts playing.

OK, so there is something in that file that your device does not support. But I really don't know what.

However, for example, Nero Media Server plays correct both films.

I suppose that this Media Server transcode all mkv in a mpegts/mpeg2video format. But your device should support mkv/h264 codec, transcoding is not needed.

Maybe it'll be helpful

Thanks, but nothing about h264 profile level.

I will write a profile for you, if we really need to transcode some format.

my English is not my native language too...you found correct words, don't worry

Could you edit the serviio/config/profiles.xml file and add the following just before the last </Profiles> element.
Then restart serviio service or reboot your PC.

- Yes, I've done it http://clip2net.com/s/5eMhMh - Thank you for the code.

Here are the results with new Yamaha BD-A1020 profile:
1. when I open FLAC files - the Yamaha player shows that the type is PCM - it means that Serviio convert from Flac to PCM? - Does it really good for the sound?
2. Avatar is showed as MPEG file and doesn't open;
3. but Intouchables now is playing good
4. also I can't skip/choose chapters during the film now - only set up speed of playback 1x/2x/4x - it's not good;
5. and I couldn't play whole album with such files

  Code:

[FLAC] [03:01] George Benson - Along Comes Mary   </192 kHz/5072 kbps/109,85 MB/>

- I have a message that player doesn't support such format, but it was all ok with general DLNA profile.

Illico, could you, please, set up a profile which support all Yamaha native formats like - [VIDEO]: MKV with H.264, MPEG PS, MPEG TS, MPEG-4, VOB, AVI, ASF, WMV, DivX Plus HD, AVCHD [AUDIO]: MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC [PHOTO]: JPEG,GIF, PNG - without any transcoding and customize profile for transcoding unsupported formats like .m4a, .ape, .wv, ... ?

[Illico]

1. when I open FLAC files - the Yamaha player shows that the type is PCM - it means that Serviio convert from Flac to PCM? - Does it really good for the sound?

Yes, Serviio will transcode in PCM lossless. "Good for sound"? which best format do you want ?
Does this file appears and play with the "Generic Profile" ?

2. Avatar is showed as MPEG file and doesn't open;

doesn't open ?? strange..no idea.

3. but Intouchables now is playing good

OK, so transcoding work fine.

4. also I can't skip/choose chapters during the film now - only set up speed of playback 1x/2x/4x - it's not good;

when mkv is transcoded to mpegts, chapter information are lost.

5. and I couldn't play whole album with such files

  Code:

- I have a message that player doesn't support such format, but it was all ok with general DLNA profile.

I'm not sure to understand... does FLAC format is supported with "Generic Profile" ?
if this is the case, remove the line with flac on previous code. NO need to transcode it.

Illico, could you, please, set up a profile which support all Yamaha native formats like
[VIDEO]: MKV with H.264, MPEG PS, MPEG TS, MPEG-4, VOB, AVI, ASF, WMV, DivX Plus HD, AVCHD

[PHOTO]: JPEG,GIF, PNG - without any transcoding and customize profile for transcoding unsupported formats like .m4a, .ape, .wv, ... ?

This is the aim of this topic.
Your device support a lot of format, so "Generic profile" is probably the best for the moment.
The profile I posted inherit of the "Generic Profile" and add some custom condition where some file format will be transcode like .m4a etc.
But for .APE and .WV format, I think serviio does not support them.



EDIT: For mkv file that does not work, you can try to rewrite the mkv with MKVToolnix, sometime the mkv container are not well created and some device does not play them.
When the new mkv is created, retry with the "Generic Profile".

Dear Illico, thank you for the help and such detailed answer.

As I understand - General DLNA profile is good for devices, which play many audio/video formats and it is without transcoding. Other profiles are good for specific devices to play unsupported formats transcode them to supported.
So for Yamaha BD-A1020 General profile is the best?

  Code:

I'm not sure to understand... does FLAC format is supported with "Generic Profile" ?

Yes, Flac is supported with "Generic Profile" and I remove the line with flac on previous code so it plays Flac ok now with BD-A1020 profile.

when mkv is transcoded to mpegts, chapter information are lost.

Could you please modify the code to play mkv without transcoding to mpegts like you told me about Flac? The player support MKV with H.264

  Code:

      <!-- Transcode all h264 video with HIGH/MAIN > Level 4.0 on MPEG-TS stream with MPEG2VIDEO and ac3 audio transcoding -->
         <!-- expected profile MPEG_TS_SD_EU/MPEG_TS_SD_NA/MPEG_TS_SD_KO -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >

            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.0" />
            <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="main" levelGreaterThan="4.0" />
         </Video>

What about Mkvtoolnix tool, do you try to rebuild your mkv (Intouchables)

It's all ok now, thank you Illico very much

Only Avatar and Intouchables don't play. I've tried Mkvtoolnix tool - but it takes about 30 min. to rebuild Intouchables! O_O - However it didn't help: non with Generic DLNA, non with Yamaha profile. Also direct from USB drive it didn't play.

So there is something with the video codec that your device does not support. I don't know what...
Btw enjoy it !

[Illico]

But for .APE and .WV format, I think serviio does not support them.

Will be supported in next 1.3 version:
wavpack (*.wv) format : https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... pen-source
musepack (*.mpc) and Monkey's Audio (*.ape) files too : https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... io-support

Please recall me to update your profile for these files format when 1.3 will be released.
