The original video ID I used ended up starting near the end, and never actually got to the end it instead prematurely ended.

So to troubleshoot, I just changed video ID to another video and the weird thing is it doesn't start at 0:00 it starts in the middle of the intro, so 30seconds in? See the video I just created: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GEipDdfBgc

If my mkv's are Ac3 5.1 channel, what options are best to ensure they come out as 5.1 channel on the ATV, do you know?

I tried changing from Aac to ac3 but it broke, I tried changing from 2 to 6 under audiochannels but that didnt work.

Ya 5.1 of transcode is not implemented yet.

 

As a stop gap you can play with

http://server-ip:8096/mediabrowser/Videos/502e652c886521c5d2bda00dffd6371c/stream.m3u8?audioCodec=copy&VideoCodec=h264&VideoBitRate=3000000&maxwidth=1280

to keep orig audio (not sure how it will segment with ac3 but it should be ok)

http://server-ip:8096/mediabrowser/Videos/502e652c886521c5d2bda00dffd6371c/stream?static=true

to stream the orig file

I see the Apple TV is capable of outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital as I can confirm from the NetFlix app (I can query from my receiver to see what the ATV is pushing).

With your suggestion:

 

http://192.168.1.125:8096/mediabrowser/Videos/9e34e0f28bcda58406baee1e761b5636/stream.m3u8?audioCodec=copy&VideoCodec=h264&VideoBitRate=3000000&maxwidth=1280

 

\\edit: oops i was trying a DTS source , I've switched to a AC3 source movie and can confirm 5.1 is working fine with the syntax ?audioCodec=copy -- Thanks

 

Obviously stream?static=true fails because the source is mkv.

So what options needs to be used to reencode DTS to AC3 5.1 channels?

Right now nothing we will add it but our attention is elsewhere right now. I will chat to Luke about adding ac3 5.1 and aac 5.1 (ac3 can be utilized by roku as well)

we will add it, not to worry. i love what you've done so far, but i personally would suggest focusing on browsing the library first. once this becomes a real project, we'll be glad to allocate more developer time to help you. there's a lot of people out there who know python, so a little recruiting on github could probably get you some help.

Yup, getting support is a goal, I can hack an interface together but all data elements get pulled from Plex at the moment. However I hardcoded the stream to pull from MB3 so I know it works (given my source is AC3 5.1 I can even get the thing to play with surround sound), fast-forward works, etc.

if you need to re-contain the original source I would suggest using ts as the container (if all the internal codecs are supported)

 

you can call it with

http://server-ip:8096/mediabrowser/Videos/502e652c886521c5d2bda00dffd6371c/stream.ts?audioCodec=copy&VideoCodec=copy

Hls is not a requirement unless he is connecting via cell network. But yes he could use either hls or ts 

 

 

http://server-ip:8096/mediabrowser/Videos/502e652c886521c5d2bda00dffd6371c/stream.m3u8?audioCodec=copy&VideoCodec=copy

 

 

or

 

http://server-ip:8096/mediabrowser/Videos/502e652c886521c5d2bda00dffd6371c/stream.ts?audioCodec=copy&VideoCodec=copy

 

 

 

ts will (atm) have a faster start up time (very small diff when re containing). So yes it would probably be best to use hls but as it is a re-contain the segment times will likely not be in compliance with apple spec anyhow.

The ATV failed to handle that video type I guess. Trying .m3u8 now

Ooops, could it be because the movie is AVI?  Don't know how i missed that, thought it was mkv. I found one movie that's mkv with AC3 audio and will test that now.

Ah ok do you have a video spec list for apple tv they must not support ts without an m3u8 (kinda strange but apple is apple )

Ok I will hunt around see what i can find but streaming to is only a small part of the puzzle we can work on the logic of when to transcode etc later but for now I would suggest working on the library display as luke suggested as it is likely to take more time than streaming (from the looks).

Starting here: https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/blob/master/XMLConverter.py

 

What converts {{VAL(title)}} in Library.xml ( https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/blob/master/assets/templates/Library.xml#L35 )   from its "placeholder/template element" type to the actual data that's pulled from Plex?

 

This is something I'm struggling with as yesterday was my first introduction to basic python. I don't know how to setup a debug/development environment in which I can trace such things.
