redivider 0 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Need help setting up a DLNA profile as some mkv files with the same codec wont play while others will. First time fiddling with this, any explanation appreciated, couldnt find much on the web. also the default one wont rewind, it will fast forward up to 30x though.

redivider 0 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 oh yes sorry i forgot to post that, but thats the only thing i found http://www.netgem.com/datas/media/1314979741_fiche%20ProductSheet%20N8200-VUS.pdf here is everything, containers and codecs etc.. at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redivider 0 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 mkv is supported in h.264 codec, which all of the tested movies are, as shown when you go into the emby library under "media info"; only 1 worked the rest seemed to have device problems thats why im thinking I need a dlna profile, since the device wont play it (works fine on pc or even browser so its not embys problem).

Luke 37112 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 what audio do these mkv's have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redivider 0 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 It says it supports these: MPEG-4 AAC, MPEG-1/2 layer I/II/III, WMA9, Dolby digital, Dolby digital +. The mkvs in question have generally 2 audio channels each, one 5.1 one 7.1, both AAC. I am using the 5.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37112 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 @@redivider, a dlna profile will need to be designed for the device. First we need to learn how to detect it. Unfortunately I do not have this device for testing, but if you can play something with the device and then attach the emby server log that would be helpful. thanks !

redivider 0 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Heres the logs, first I played the hobbit for a bit (which plays fine, watched it before in full, sometimes the box shut off and I had to restart it, but otherwise, it played) second is Interstellar which wont play at all ("cant play file"). Also do you need logs with debugging on? ffmpeg-directstream-9bffce18-803b-4302-b604-186583acf894.txt ffmpeg-directstream-2956ffd6-636f-4296-9e0f-1062d45c20ee.txt server-63625639766.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37112 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 @@Happy2Play i suppose we could start with the vlc profile as a base, change the detection to netgem. at that point it will direct play everything and we could just rely on redivider to let us know when something isn't supported and needs transcoding.

Luke 37112 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Designing a dlna profile is unfortunately mostly a process of trial and error. It begins by consulting device documentation for supported formats, and then from there trying them and adjusting the profile based on the outcome. Right now you are understandably getting the impression that something about Emby isn't working, but it's really a matter that we haven't tested personally with your device, so at this point we don't yet know what customizations your device will require.

redivider 0 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Oh, for some reason my browser wont show your previous post? This file (TEST123) was just my attempt (one of them) but since I obviously dont know what im doing, it just reset back to the default one. So disregard my DIY custom profile, emby skipped it.
