Serviio

Hi.

long time. I have an issue with a .ts file not playing audio on lg tv profile. I did not do any custom changes to the profiles.xml, they're as is. Now i'm reading the forums, there's lots of issues with these files ,but what puzzles me is that when i put the Vizio profile, everything works perfectly, except 1 thing. I am unable to jump to any point on the video. So when on Vizio profile, things are perfect, however, if i stop playing a movie at like 50 minutes, i'm unable to move there when i load the movie again. And this seems to happen on all of the files.

So my question is, how can i either
a) fix jumping to a point in time on vizio profile
or
b) add whatever vizio has that reads everything perfectly to my LG profile, but not mess with jumping (jumping to any point in a file works flawlessly on LG TV profile). I've copied <transcoding> part to the lg tv profile, but that messes up the lg profile with jumping as well, so somewhere there lies the issue.

I'm running 1.10.1 and LG QNED 8 series (forgot exact model).

Just saying it's a TS file means nothing. The TS file is a container (as all files are) and they can contain more than one type of video or audio codec. Since a different profile is providing audio, that pretty much points to an unsupported video or audio codec for your LG TV. There's a link in my sig line that can help you determine what is inside your files. Perhaps using a Roku TV profile might work better than the Vizio profile.

Of course, you're also using a very old version of Serviio. 1.10.1 was released in December 2018. It's possible that a newer version would not have the same issue you have noted.

This is the mediainfo on the file.
I've tried probably all the profiles. Most of them can't read the audio file. So this one works perfectly, but for some unknown reason with this profile i am unable to click on various times in the file and start from there. This works on the LG Tv profile. And with Vizio profile it fails on every file.
I am on 1.10.1 i actually forgot why. I know i installed 2.x on several occasions and something was bad with it that i decided to go back to 1.10. I don't remember what was it, but i do remember i've had it 2 times and uninstalled it 2 times.

Thanks for the information. Every codec listed (audio, video, captions) is supported by every TV in North America. I can't explain why it's not working on your set. I just tested one of my LG TVs (not a high end model, but is 4K) and it's playing a TS file without a problem. Captions are displayed and I can fast forward/rewind without a problem. I stopped the video and restarted it and it resumed where I stopped. Using the directional buttons it move forward/backwards about 4 minutes. I can use the >> or << buttons and it plays at 2X speed (probably faster if I press it again). I will add that I'm using the standard LG profile for this particular TV.

All the OTA TV broadcasts I have saved are in the TS format, and I have no issues playing them on any device I have (Smart TV, Blu Ray player, Shield, Roku, other Android devices) streaming from Serviio. I have no explanation why it's not working on your LG.
