Toshiba sound but not video

Thanks

OK - using the transcoding via the Toshiba profile that includes the line
<Matches container="mpegts" />
I get audio AND VIDEO of an mpegts file.
You can see that one in the serviio log I attached previously, the file called 'Modern Family Cast discuss hit showff.ts'

All the rest of the AVI, MP4, MATROSKA and M4V files fail to transmit video. But I DO get audio.

With all the files that are transcoded (audio only), I can start and pause, and I can skip forward or backwards 30 secs at a time.
I cannot FF or REW, however.

Serviio happily transmits NON-transcoded MPG and MPEG files - such as VOBs. With those I can FF and REW as well - and, of course, it does give me sound AND picture.

Thanks

...Serviio happily transmits NON-transcoded MPG and MPEG files - such as VOBs.

Could you post "ffmpeg -i" of such VOB files?

Could you
- Transcode locally an avi to mpegps like this command line?
ffmpeg.exe -i C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\country house rescue s02e01.avi -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\TEST.ts
- Post here the ffmpeg log.
- Add this ouput file (TEST.ts) to the serviio library and check if video is always down.

Thanks for your continued help

The transcoded Test.ts file does NOT play video - only the audio.

The VOB file output from FFmpeg -i is here

OK, could you try transcoding locally and add to library this output result:
just add "-s 720x576" option
ffmpeg.exe -i C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\country house rescue s02e01.avi -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -s 720x576 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\TEST.ts

Could you also post "ffmpeg -i" result of the output TEST.ts file?

EDIT: You could also make test by changing GOP number option: -g 12 and other number.

Yes yes yes !
Finally.... something on the screen - well done.

I took three files - the country house AVI file and the Mission Impossible AVI file, and the Atul Spice Kitchen MKV file - and transcoded them with your settings to a TS.

The results are
1) the Country House AVI file transcodes perfectly - plays well, correct aspect, FF, REW everything
2) the Atul Spice Kitchen MKV file transcodes perfectly - plays well, correct aspect, FF, REW everything
3) the Mission Impossible file is 90% perfect - plays well, FF, REW... but the aspect ratio is wrong. It is at 4:3, and the picture on the screen ends up being stretched horizontally.

But... I am very impressed. You have gotten me video from these files and that is fantastic.

So, as requested, here are the output from the FFmpeg -i request to the three TS files

For the Country House AVI file transcoded using these settings
ffmpeg.exe –I “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\country house rescue s02e01.avi” -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -s 720x576 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\TEST_CH.ts

All files, when played back using MPEGPS, look and sound great - except for the aspect ratio on the Mission Impossible.
Now - should I put that code somehow into a profile to make it work everytime??

Thanks for your continued help.

[Illico]

Zip, Do you think (like forceStereo option) we could add profile option to force frame size and aspect ratio of output video on ffmpeg command options:
`-s size'
Set frame size. The format is `wxh' (ffserver default = 160x128, ffmpeg default = same as source).
`-aspect aspect'
Set aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 or 1.3333, 1.7777).

For ozpete999 that could resolved his Toshiba SD format limitation.

For the Mission Impossible AVI file with the wrong final aspect ratio (original TV show is 4:3) transcoded using these settings
ffmpeg.exe -i “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\ Mission Impossible S01E01 - Pilot.avi” -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -s 720x576 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\TEST_MI.ts”

Could you add "-aspect 16:9" to your previous command and check the final aspect ratio or "-aspect 4:3" don' know ?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

I tried a number of things with the 720x576 aspect ratio. Nothing worked.

Then, scouring the TV manual, I came across some settings for 525p and i (480p and i)

It suggested that the AR was 720x480

So I entered those values and - voila - it works !!!!

Whether I put in 4:3 or 16:9 or nothing doesn't seem to affect the output. I provide the FFmpeg -i files below

A transcoding of the following (where -aspect 16:9 or -aspect 4:3 or no aspect ratio at all)
ffmpeg.exe -i “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\Mission Impossible S01E01 - PilotShort.avi” -y -threads 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -s 720x480 -aspect 4:3 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Videos\TEST_MI_ASPECT.ts”

Good job!

Whether I put in 4:3 or 16:9 or nothing doesn't seem to affect the output. I provide the FFmpeg -i files below

So we could just add "-s <size>" option, I create ticket for 0.6 feature request.

possibly. create a ticket pls

Done: https://bitbucket.org/xnejp03/serviio/i ... n-renderer

I am really pleased and grateful for what you guys have done.
A month ago I honestly thought there was no way it was ever going to play anything transcoded !!!
So tonight I could sit down and actually watch a complete program on the BIG screen !!

Thanks for opening the feature request in bit bucket.

How do you envisage the -s option working?

For example, you have given me a Toshiba profile setting already which will transcode everything to MPEGTS and then play out as a PS .

How would any new profile know which file needs to have the extra -s 720x480 and which ones don't?
Or, is it some special code that would be hardcoded into the Serviio program somewhere?

Thanks.

[zip]

It's up to testing, but usually it'd be applied to all files.

OK.
Well, of course I will be available to help with any testing

Thanks

I'm having the same problem on my friend's Toshiba 42" TV.
What is the profile that is currently working for Toshiba Regza TVs in Japan?
