Serviio

Hi,

Model: Panasonic TX-L55WTW60

I have used the "Panasonic Viera (2013)" profile in the last time.

Now I bought a new handy and the TV can´t play HD videos from handy rear camera.
Videos of the front camera are working. Can you help me what I need to adjust to make it work ?

Could be a few things - the different H264 profiles, or the different resolution or the frame rates for example.

Try forcing the file to be transcoded:

• Using your favourite text editor (hint: Notepad++) edit the file Serviio\config\profiles.xml;
• Find the Panasonic Viera (2013) profile;
• Add the following bit in red in the region shown:
  
  <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" forceInheritance="true">
  <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high_10" />
  <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
  <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="main" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
  <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="baseline" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
  <Matches container="*" vCodec="h263" />
  </Video>
• Save the file and then restart you PC.
• Test your maverick file

This will force your baseline L5.1 file to be transcoded. If that doesn't work we may need to limit the resolution.

thx for you reply

I have the proposed changes done - but without success
on the screen is all the time " please wait " and then " File is not readable"
I have noticed that my multicore cpu - windows computer runs up to 100 %
he does the transcoding but apparently it does not work.

he only transcodes the entire file ? or on the fly ? What can I do next?

Try changing the line:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" forceInheritance="true">

in the above to:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxHeight="720" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" forceInheritance="true">

The above change will limit the frame hight to 720 pixel. If that still doesn't work, try maxHeight="720" maxVBitrate="14000" which will also limit the bit rate.

Thanks again for your help.

Too bad....
unfortunately this does not work for me.
I get always the message "This file is not supported!"

Transcoding is enabled.
Where can I check if that transcoding is working?

You can normally tell as your CPU usage will be very high while transcoding - otherwise you can also tell by looking at a detailed log or by monitoring your temporary file (the folder listed on the Delivery, Transcoding tab of Serviio console).

You may have to re-encode the files using something like XMedia Recode to a more standard resolution/frame rate.

Hi!

After a test session i can confirm the trancoder is working, but what about the handy video´s?
