Mr_Groch 0 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi, How to override default profile? I have edited default profile to transcode all to mp4 container, saved with default name - "Generic Device" and tried also "Default", but my DLNA players always use default system profile that transcodes to ts container.

Happy2Play 8217 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 What device is using the default profile? Do your logs should a user agent that could be used for your device and added to the profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Groch 0 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes, I could add specific profile for that device, but instead I want to override default generic device - for unknown devices in my network - so I can force transcode always to MP4 with embedded subtitles. I have done something like this in Plex server, but now I prefer to use Media Browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 have you tried editing the default profile in the profile editor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8217 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 have you tried editing the default profile in the profile editor? From my experience the system will not use the modified "Default" profile "Generic Device". It always returns the system "Default" profile. Unless something has changed recently. The only way I can see would be to modify the system default profile directly (not in profile editor) then make it as "Read only" so the server does not overwrite it.

Overriding at web profile editor doesn't work... I'm actually noob at Media browser, so please tell me - how to override default profile manually?

Luke 36991 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It just hasn't been tested before so that's the reason for the issue. in the meantime you can probably create a new profile with a clever regex in the identification header that will match all devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually noob at Media browser, so please tell me - how to override default profile manually? Go to (Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\config\dlna\system\default.xml) open in text editor/notepad, modify the xml to your needs and save, then right click the xml and mark it as read only so the server doesn't overwrite it. Note by default any changes made to system profiles are automatically overwritten by the server (this is reason for read only).

Luke 36991 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 that's not a good idea. the server will try to overwrite it but it will fail. then in the future if there are schema changes the profile won't be upgraded which will probably introduce other problems.

I have used .* as User-Agent and it works. But maybe if I will ever want to use specific device profile - that default profile probably will handle everything... It's that right?
