speechles 1917 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Redshirt yes. This brings back roku memories. The rokus firmware bugs made the codectag useful for a bit. The first codec listed in your compatibility list will be the default. "aac,mp3" vs "mp3,aac" in the profile. In the sample by lol above he puts ac3 first which is what I do on the roku too.

markofealing 0 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Loving Emby, but not loving transcoding! I'm running Emby on Ubuntu 16.04 and have Samsung, LG and Panasonic Smart TVs. The Samsung TVs run the Emby App, the LG runs WebOS 2 and the Pansonic Firefox OS no Apps are available at present for these platforms. Emby is on the latest Ubuntu 15.10 version 3.0.5931.0 (awaiting a 16.04 repo). Whilst the Samsung TVs have DIVX registration screens in the setup the Panasonic doesn't, although I'm unsure what difference this makes. On the Panasonic I can't playback DIVX or XVID videos unless I transcode them with Handbrake first. The videos are in MPEG4 AVI containers. Playback is via the web interface which Firefox OS runs beautifully, unlike WebOS 2 which gives me a blank screen! When I try to play one of these videos all I get is an error reading the file message. DLNA Playback is enabled and I have tried to setup a DLNA custom profiles for DIVX and XDIV as follows: Protocol: http Container: ts Video Codec: DIVX Audio Codec: AC3 and Protocol: http Container: ts Video Codec: xvid Audio Codec: AC3 Information is from EMBY and/ or VLC codec tool. Finally, for non DLNA playback how to I edit the profiles (where are they located in an Ubuntu install) so I can play videos using these codecs? These codecs are quite common, so I don't understand why there isn't better default support in Emby or at the very least documentation on how to set this up. It's really frustrating.

Hi there, welcome. You mentioned lots of different apps in a single posting, so it's a little difficult to understand where you're having issues. Best thing to do is see how to report a media playback issue. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markofealing 0 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Sorry, I will clarify: When I try to play DIVX or XVID videos using Firefox OS web browser on the Panasonic (50CX700b) TV all I get is an error reading the file message. DLNA Playback is enabled and I have tried to set-up a DLNA custom profiles for DIVX and XDIV as follows: Protocol: http Container: ts Video Codec: DIVX Audio Codec: AC3 and Protocol: http Container: ts Video Codec: xvid Audio Codec: AC3 Am I setting up these custom profiles incorrectly for transcoding xvid and divx codecs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37045 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 No, you need to make sure to use the video codec names that appear in the web interface. But actually if you're using a web browser then this is not related to DLNA, which brings us back to my request in post #28. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
