So can anyone figure out why "other" media renderer's that use FFMpeg.exe:

Code: Select all

<location of ffmpeg.exe>\ffmpeg.exe -threads auto -i <Video to be played> -y -c:v mpeg2video -b:v 8192k -maxrate:v 8192k -bufsize:v 8192k -r 24000/1001 -g 15 -c:a mp2 -b:a 192k -ac 2 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -sn -f vob <Some temp folder>\transcoding-temp-4-6-ORIGINAL.stf

I had to use Process Explorer to find this...

this works PERFECTLY for the Directv Media Share...

How.. can we incorporate this into UMS!?

Still getting video with no audio on my end streaming through the Genie. Tried multiple configurations as posted above, but can't seem to get audio out of any of them.

Im in the same boat...

still plugging away at it...

This may not pertain to the discussion here, but it solved a problem I had concerning DTV Genie and playable media. I found this forum looking for info on how to encode files, and found some useful data here. This may help others with the issue I had.

I have a Direct TV HR-34 with C-31 clients. I don't use the Universal Media Server software, but I do have a NAS drive that the Direct-TV hardware can "see", but I was unable to come up with a conversion program that would allow videos to be played . . . either the audio would be absent, or both audio and video. I finally found a shareware program (which I have since purchased) called MediaCoder vs 0.8.24.5540 that solved this problem for me. I was able to convert my video files to a format that the Direct TV hardware was able to play.

Used the following settings:

VIDEO: Container - MPEG TS. Video - MPEG2, using the FFmpeg Encoder, bitrate of 1000 Kbps, resolution 480 X 360, Auto De-interlace.

AUDIO: MP2, FFmpeg Encoder, Bitrate of 128 kbps, Sample Rate 48000 HZ

I have yet to find a media type this nifty program can't convert. The conversion is very fast, and the resulting video is of good quality. Again, this may have nothing to do with the discussion in this thread (which as I understand it concerns streaming video from a server through the Genie), but I thought I would post it anyway on the outside chance that someone else, as I did, may stumble upon this forum in search of answers. Like I said, I found some very useful data here.

Thanks

Spad I thank you for your contribution here.

I just wish I knew how to Incorporate the audio portion into a conf file.

I cant get MediaInfo=True to work to save my life...

does anyone know how to edit the "Expert settings: Codec Specific parameters" I think something might have to be added there.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I present to you the working Conf for Directv Boxes. I have tested this on 4 Directv boxes all at the same time. All on a Gigabit LAN. Audio is working!

Please note: I limited the Video scale to 1280x720 (-vf scale=1280:720) for the single reason I have one box in my house that can only view 720p...

I will update the First page with this info for easier reading.

I'm having some problems with this, when I add this code to the folder and then try to stream I get "The stream has been interrupted and could not continue" any advice?

Posted: **Tue Sep 03, 2013 4:53 pm**

Thats a new one... Can you replicate it with logging on Trace?

Posted: **Wed Sep 04, 2013 7:29 am**

I am also having the same issue.

My log is:

It seems something is going wrong with mencoder. whatever error code 1 is.
