Serviio

Hi to all, my Sony Bravia W654 wont reproduce many live streams.

I'm looking to profiles.xml file and I cant see the OnlineTranscoding section in Sony Bravia TV (2013/14) profile.

I'm wondering to add these strings:

<OnlineTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />
<Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264" />
<Matches container="applehttp" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="asf" />
<Matches container="flv" />
<Matches container="rtp" />
<Matches container="rtsp" />
<Matches container="applehttp" />
</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="flv" />
</Video>
</OnlineTranscoding>

Something wrong in it?

Sony Bravia 2013/2014 profile inherits of Generic Profile <OnlineTranscoding> section.

You can try to add the 2012 profile section :



After modification, you have to restart serviio service or reboot PC to reload profiles.xml file.

its quite similar to mine.

I added also:
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="flv" />
</Video>


and now can see some stream, but its not yet perfect

what do you think about this?

<OnlineTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="*" />
</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" forceInheritance="true">
<Matches container="*" />
</Video>
</OnlineTranscoding>

should resolve any codec transcoding problem

Yes of course you can. I suggest to create your custom profile with these settings indeed.

But serviio developper would like to minimize transcoding process (only when necessary) to minimize CPU load especially for light system (NAS, Raspberry,etc)

So if you want to contribute to complete Sony 2013/2014 profile, check url online source that are not supported in native by Sony device.
Post "ffmpeg -i" result here to see codec combination not supported, then we will update profile.

Oh ok, understood.

But I run serviio on a Mac Mini that is my mediaserver and transcoding is not a problem
