Serviio

Is there a profile setting for M4V files, as I'm not sure how to ad those to my profile,... I did ad it as a match container but its not an available option and my profile has an error and wont load.

Honestly looking for a profile for x265 as well, not sure if there is one... is there or is that not available in the program yet

ideas anyone

any input or information on where to look would be helpful

cheers all

just to ad to my post, i think the issues for transcoding the mentioned format and codec is all in ffmpeg itself, but im not sure how or if i can get that application to transcode those files correctly. maybe an add on to the program, a plugin, a dev build that does encode x265 and m4v files.

just brainstorming ideas here.

again any help anyone has to offer is greatly appreciated.

Serviio supports transcoding of mpv and h265 files out of the box if you are a windows or Mac user, and should also do so for Linux users as long as you have compiled/sourced your ffmpeg correctly.

Have a read of http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24. This should explain how to transcode h265 files (matches vcodec command). mpv files are a variant of MP4 audio files and can be transcoded by matching as if it were an MP4 file.

ok ill look into that. thanks for the reply. I'm very new to compiling a program n stuff. there lies my issue....as i am not sure how to go about doing that.

but ill read you links you left for me and go from there.

if i'm stuck, maybe i can PM you and get some help...if you don't mind.

either way thanks for the reply and direction so i can solve my problem.

ill be giving your links a go first and then we will see... I hope i figure it out.

cheers

now i noticed you mentioned h265 and ok cool... i searched my profiles xml file....and found the h265..... but does that also pertain to x265 files as well.?? are h265 and x265 the same???

and I just noticed you were after x265..
Consider them the same thing. x265 is a software library/encoder used to encode to the h265 video standard (and just to further confuse, h265 is also called HEVC).

ah ok thanks for clearing that up for me. awesome

and i got the profile to load ok so all seems good so far
