One MKV plays on PS3, the other data type is not supported

Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:07 pm by waterlooalex

Generally Serviio seems to be setup and working well with my PS3, transcoding seems to work (some MKV files play, debug logs from serviio show transcoding happening).

I have 2 MKV files of Fargo tv show, s01e01 and s01e02, e01 plays on the PS3, e02 doesn't.

This one plays:

Here is debug log output from Serviio, seems to say its happily transcoding both of these

After reading more I switched to use this profile:

Code:: <Profile id="ps3_custom" name="Playstation 3 - h264" extendsProfileId="4"> <Transcoding>  <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" forceVTranscoding="true" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384"> <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" /> </Video> </Transcoding> </Profile>

This enables the file to play, but it stutters incredibly, I am guessing my QNAP TS-119P is not up to the task of transcoding. Are there other NAS devices that are?

Fri Oct 03, 2014 10:56 pm by waterlooalex

Huh, if I transcode it ahead of time to MP4 (just a container switch I think) then it plays fine. Is there a way to get Serviio to do this?

Code:: ffmpeg -y -i fargo.s01e02.720p.hdtv.x264-killers.mkv -c copy fargo2.mp4

No there is no way to transcode to MP4 on the fly.

My guess is there is something not liked in the S01E02 MKV container - you may be able to fix it by remuxing it (this simply copies the streams into a new MKV container):

Code:: ffmpeg -i fargo.s01e02.720p.hdtv.x264-killers.mkv -c copy -map 0 fargo2.mkv

I don't think the command I used above transcodes to MP4. Instead it simply changes the container. Well, simply copying the streams into a MP4 container fixed it.

Is there a way to remux it on the fly?

No - my understanding is you cannot remux or transcode to MP4 and stream it on the fly.

My layman's understanding - a standard MP4 container contains critical information stored at the end of the file - so effectively you would have to read the end of the file first in order to play it. This isnt a problem when the MP4 file already exists - but doesn't work if you are trying to play the file as it is being created (which is what you are trying to do when transcoding or remuxing on the fly). The remux command you are using copies the video stream(s) and audio stream(s) and then writes this critical information which it derives from these streams at the end of the MP4 container.

There are methods to move this critical data to the front of the file - this allows MP4 to be used for streaming via progressive download (which is what happens when you stream an MP4 from the web). But once again, the file must be created first and this critical info then moved to the front of the file... it cannot be done on the fly.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

In that case it'd be useful if Serviio could either:
1. Change the container to be MP4, then play the MP4 file (it takes ~7s or so to change the container), I'd be happy waiting 7s before my video starts
2. Had a feature to pre-change videos once and cache the result for future plays

Or... is there a way for Serviio to just do the right thing, eg fixup the MKVs as necessary so that they can play.
