Samsung SMT-G7400 Horizon Box profile

for a while now UPC provider are using what they call Horizon media box.
I did install the last version of serviio and try different profiles with no luck so far, generic is not fully working and any of the samsung's either.

basically it show the folders and content, while browsing the music folder all the FLAC files are in a grey color can get info but not play.
as from mkv files, is the same shows the content and info but not play the movies.
is there any profile that can be use, or anyone willing to make a profile for this "mediabox", ?? will be great.

talking to the "upc support" they advice to install Twonky as it seems they make a deal with them, i did give it a try for testing and all seems to work fine, just in some cases the sound is not working specially with DTS movies and not way to get subs working,
anyway i has been using Serviio for a long time now at home and i love the system and would love to have it fully working on this mediabox.

the box doesn't come with a tech data but i did found the dlna cert online of what is supported by the "mediabox".

some advice and or reply on this will be great..
Thanks in advanced.

Try to find any profile that works for particular files and we can take it from there.

hello zip, finally i got around to test the profiles.

i did test all the profiles, and the one that work more or less is the WDTV-live,

with this profile, the box play the following.
MP3 --- yes
FLAC -- No
MKV -- Yes
AVI -- Yes

Now somehow the mkv files with DTS sounds, play it just find just not sound.

hopefully this will help and will be able to have a working profile for that box.
thanks in advanced.

i did found out that this so called "Horizon box" is based on XBMC v9.11 (Camelot).
Samsung does also provide the Source Code for the Box under opensource.samsung.com
If you use the upper bar for navigation you will find it under TV/Video -> Set-Top-Box -> SMT-G4700.

no idea if that is usable info, i hope it is!

any news on this ???
if that is possible or not a profile for this box?

The WDTV profile hardly transcodes anything - and not AVI, MP3 or most MKV's. Try using the "Generic DLNA Profile" and test your file types - this will tell us if any of these file types play natively.

You can construct your own profile - have a read of http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=16 and http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24.

A profile something along the lines of the following might be a good starting point - copy it just above the last line (between the </Profile> and </Profiles> statements in your profiles.xml file). Given your device seems to play MKV and h264 video (I am guessing that your MKV file contains h264 video, and as it is playing, albeit without audio, it is supported natively as the WDTV profile doesn't transcode this), I am assuming it will also play mpeg2 containers (I haven't seen a device yet that supported MKV and not MPEG2). I have also only considered the file type you mention (MP3, FLAC, MKV and AVI):

  Code:

<Profile id="SMTG7400" name="Samsung SMT-G7400 Horizon" extendsProfileId="1">
   <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.PacketVideoDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
   <ProtocolInfo>simple</ProtocolInfo>
   <Transcoding>
      <Video targetContainer="m2ts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
         <Matches container="*" aCodec="dca" />
      </Video>
      <Audio targetContainer="mp3">
         <Matches container="flac" />
      </Audio>
   <Transcoding>
   <Subtitles>
      <SoftSubs mime-type="text/srt" />         
   </Subtitles>
</Profile>

This should fix the issue with DTS audio (we are transcoding this to AC3) and with your FLAC audio files - these are being transcoded to MP3. I have left the subtitle support as it is in the WDTV profile. You may not need the first two lines of the profile (they are also from the WDTV profile) - try removing them one at a time. Remember to always restart your PC after changing profiles.xml.

Hello,

i have the same receiver, but when i edit your code in the profile.xml nothing happens.
Servio Nas Servio loads only the default profile.xml.

Can someone HELP me pls.
