They can hold multiple video tracks too and pretty much any other file you'd like to add. Further, MKV containers can hold multiple audio tracks which use different audio codecs. Just copy the video, audio and any other files inside the container into a new file while adding the transcoded audio too. To re-encode audio to a different format does not require re-encoding the video. I don't know the specifics, but i've had to create this file previously (about 2 yrs ago), so it is possible and does work - provided the transcoder can handle the input and output format. Look at the log file to see the name of the transcode file for the TV is necessary. If you can't find the one for your specific TV, create one. Plex has profiles for every device which determines which files are transcoded and how. I suppose there was a reason to go with FLAC when the native AC3 is just a copy from most media? If it doesn't have the support, there isn't any hope to transcode from FLAC to something else until that is resolved. I don't know how to do that - there is probably a way to see the compiled-in codecs. These all work perfectly on my laptop in VLC, and they work fine in the DLNA servers as long as the TV natively supports the codecs used (except for Plex in this case, in which none of them will play sound).įirst, you need to determine if ffmpeg on the system supports FLAC or not. I have many different files from MKV, AVI, FLAC, AAC, you get the point. I don't believe my ripping process is the issue. As far as I'm aware I'd have to re-encode the files from FLAC to AAC which would take hours, if there's an easier way though I'd love to hear more. I just want to browse Plex > TV > SeriesName > File but I don't mind the extra layer of folders.Īs for the tiny script to add AAC to every video file, I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing that. Sorry, what I meant is excessive for my needs. I'm unsure if my ffmpeg supports FLAC so I will check that, either way though the AAC files aren't working. However the files with FLAC that wouldn't load at all and just returned "File not supported" or "Audio not supported" messages would display video in Plex, just not the audio. They play fine with sound on other DLNA services, just not in Plex. Not all my video files are encoded by FLAC, most of them are AAC or something similar and play natively on the TV without transcoding. Since the other DLNA servers are also having the same issue, have you considered that perhaps your ripping process is the issue?Yeah I checked all the advanced options, couldn't find what I was looking for. You know, it wouldn't be too hard to create a tiny script to add AAC to every video file and shove that back into the mkv container. Select the content, selected "Recently Added" - done. Did you check that?Įxcessive is not the term I'd use for 2. No sound? I'd guess that your ffmpeg/avconv doesn't support flac. I've tried everything I can and followed numerous guides and help threads all to no avail.Įvery page has an "advanced" option. NOTE: I have ffmpeg installed from the PPAs since none of these seem to like the libav-tools that 14.04 uses instead of ffmpeg.īasically what I'm asking is if there is a media server that actually works properly with Ubuntu 14.04, or if there is a way to make any of these work properly. There were no fixes for this I could find on google or their website PS3 Media Server - installs nicely, runs fine, so far the nicest to work with, however, when it transcodes audio on 1080p videos it just plays an awful loud buzzing sound. Rygel - installed from official repositories, throws errors with the config files being in the wrong place, tried moving the config files and then it throws a new set of errors and just continuously causes me nightmares Serviio - won't install unless I manually download java 8 from a ppa and then even after fixing that, throws errors that I can't find fixes for on google or the serviio site or forums The problem is, I can't seem to find anything that wants to work in the current 14.04 version of Ubuntu Server (Trusty). However, it had no problems playing MPEG-4 Video (XVID) on a different AVI with the same audio.Īnyway, I'm wanting a DLNA server that can transcode these files for me so I can play them on my smartTV. AVI files with "MS MPEG-4 Video v3 (DIV3)" with the same audio as the above AVI. AVI files encoded with "MPEG-4 Video (DX50)" and "MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga)" - not sure if it's the audio, video or both for this one. Just installed in from the official repositories, changed a couple of lines in the config file and it just works. I've been running MiniDLNA for the past week or so with absolutely no problems. I've just spent the last few days ripping my hair out over this.
