Toshiba Regza 40YL743G

I just want to report that my Toshiba Regza 40YL743G works quite well with
the following serviio configuration (found in another thread in the transcoding subforum):

  Code:

       
     <Profile id="11" name="Toshiba Regza" extendsProfileId="1">
          <Detection>
            <X-AV-Client-Info>.*Intel_SDK_for_UPnP_devices.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
          </Detection>
          <Transcoding>
            <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
              <Matches container="avi" />
              <Matches container="asf" />
              <Matches container="mp4" />
              <Matches container="mpeg" vCodec="mpeg2video" />
              <Matches container="matroska" />     
              <Matches container="mpegts" vCodec="h264" />
              <!-- if audio different to ac3, must be transcoded -->
              <Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="aac" />
              <Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="mp3" />
              <Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="dca" />
            </Video>
          </Transcoding>
        </Profile>


This is the getProtocolInfo value:

Unfortunately almost everything has to be transcoded because of the limited number of supported DLNA formats
of the Regza. Note that no AVC* DLNA formats are supported. Other brands (e.g. Samsung) support considerably
more DLNA formats natively, such as WMV- or AVC-formats. Might be that the Regza is actually able to handle
more formats but that it is just not announcing all the formats it could handle via getProtocolInfo.

Do you also have the problem that nearly everything works but in some cases (AVI container with XVID MPEG2 codec) the video stays black but sound is working?
i have 2 movies here (The Social Network and Piranhia) where this happens - exactly these i wanted to watch the last days

its working great with mkv and avi (most of them) - i tried to find the difference and used the tool "Gspot"
my movie which doesn't work has the following properties:
- XVID ISO MPEG-4 (same with other files which are working)
- PVOP (Bidirectionally Directive)
- no NVOP
- 640 x 272 (Aspect ratio 40:17)
- 25fps
- sound is MPEG-1 Layer-3 but this is working like i said)

So maybe the aspect ratio is not working with the regza? Do you have the same problem?


Greetings

Thus far everything that serviio transcoded for my Regza was playable. No missing video or sound.
