Can't play music on Xbox 360 or WDTV Live

Hello, ever since I updated to the latest Serviio release, I'm not able to play any music files on either of my devices (Xbox 360 & WDTV Live). I'm able to play videos just fine on both devices and while my music appears on both devices, they will not play. I also reinstalled Serviio but it still won't work.

I think I did the whole debugging and found the log correctly, but seeing as I'm barely computer literate, I can't make heads or tails of any of it and I'm not sure what is relevant to post here.

Have the same issue.

All was working with v1.4.1. Upgraded to v1.4.1.1 and can't play any mp3s with WDTV Live. Servigo and Media Browser are fine. Symptoms: Using WDTV browser select a folder (album); select a mp3 file. It quickly scrolls thru each song and then reports that the files are not in an appropriate format consult the user manual for supported formats. These are the same files that I have been using for some time. There have been no firmware upgrades on the WDTV between v1.4.1 and v1.4.1.1. And none available or applied subsequently.

The attached log shows the start up of serviio, the attempt to play a folder of mp3s on the WDTV (which fails) and then playing a small snipet of a .mpg (works fine). I then shut down serviio.

I have made the switch to Linux and installed 1.4.1.1 today. Videos play on Xbox 360, but no music. I'm getting the status code 19-04-80070032. I have compiled ffmpeg from the link on the Serviio download page. I installed lame and rtmpdump from Debian (stable) since these are similar versions. Is something broken in this release?

This happened for me as well. The WDTV Live just scrolls through the songs and says that the format isn't supported (when MP3 definitely is).

While I don't really understand anything to do with the log, it's clear that all the files in my music folder were added to the Serviio library, the files themselves just won't play.

As he said, I don't know if it has to do with Serviio or ffmpeg or something else. With the 360, you can see the music files but they are labelled with "no symbols" and will bring up an error message after a while. Initially I thought that it had to do with the latest podcasts I'd downloaded but ordinary songs that I've played on the console a billion times wouldn't work either. Xbox 360 can be a bit finicky with Serviio from my experience but my usual solutions of restarting Serviio, my computer, and my router resolved nothing. As I said, videos play just fine (or as well as they can on the 360), it's just the music that won't play.

I'm going to go back to v.1.4.0 but hopefully this can be sorted out for v1.4.1 and future releases.

I have the same problem with WDTV when using Serviio. WDTV plays music fine when using Playon or my other media server programs with WDTV. So it is only serviio and it happened with 1.4.1.1. I don't get a message that says it cannot play the format, it just goes through each file and ends with the page down and page up arrows. I just pleased that it is not something that I did

I see the same symbols for music files. Please let us know if reverting to an earlier version solves this.

try 1.4.1.2, there was a typo in the mp3 profile name

[grolschie]

Thanks zip. However, after downloading 1.4.2.2, running and adding files to library. After restarting, serviio exits leaving this in the log:

So instead, I will try 1.4.1.1 but editing the profiles.xml:

replace:
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="audio/1.4.1.1-SNAPSHOTmpeg">MP3</MediaFormatProfile>
with:
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="audio/mpeg">MP3</MediaFormatProfile>

I'm not sure why 1.4.1.2 isn't crashing out like this for me.

UPDATE: Restarted PC and Serviio is running with 1.4.1.1 and the mod to the profiles.xml.

[grolschie]

Videos and MP3's now play on the Xbox using 1.4.1.1 and modified profiles.xml file. However, iTunes .m4a (AAC) files won't play though:

zip, is this enough info, or is detailed logging needed?

[zip]

yes, detailed log of playing the file.

Re 1.4.1.2 - not sure, it looks like the db file is write protected or held by another Serviio process?

[grolschie]

Thanks, zip. Please forget about the .m4a problem. I didn't realize that I needed --enable libmp3lame when going through the process of compiling FFMPEG. Xbox 360 transcodes them to MP3. Our TV can play both file types natively, so I thought it was something Xbox related.

And now that you mention, possibly my file permissions could be at fault with my 1.4.1.2 install.

Sorry about all that, zip.

... With the 360, you can see the music files but they are labelled with "no symbols" and will bring up an error message after a while. ...

I'm going to go back to v.1.4.0 but hopefully this can be sorted out for v1.4.1 and future releases.

I see the same symbols for music files. Please let us know if reverting to an earlier version solves this.

Yes, it worked.

Forgive my ignorance, but grolschie's posts have confused me. Does the latest Serviio version crash? I'd like to be up to date, especially if the MP3 typo has been fixed (cheers), but if that's the case, I'll just stick with the version that works for me (v.1.4.0).

[grolschie]

Hello. I would think that 1.4.1.2 should be good to go. Possibly the only introduced problem with 1.4.1.1 in this particular scenario was the MP3 line in the profiles.xml file. Problems at my end confused me, as one of them seemed to be related to this problem - and also possibly I didn't set my file permissions correctly with 1.4.1.2. Anyways, I briefly ran 1.4.1.2 binary just now and it ran and I could see the mediabrowser. Sorry for the confusion.
