No video on my XBMC

Hi all,
I have a raspberry Pi connected to my TV by wifi. Openelec (XBMC) is installed on this PI, and UMS 3.3.0 is installed on my Windows 7 computer.
My Xbmc recognised the UMS and i can see folders and video files. On UMS, everything seems to be ok, in the log there is no error when i stream a video.
The problem is when i want to play anyvideo (avi, mkv, MP4), I only have audio! I do not have any video. Is it something to do in the transcode option?

If someone has an idea, I take it:p

Thank you

It seems to me that you use only VLC for video transcoding. You hide advanced option of UMS and also set

Code: Select all

hide_transcode_folder =true
so you can't try different engine for transcoding.
Let untick the "Hide advanced option" at the General Configuration tab, save and restart UMS. At the Transcoding Settings tab change the order of engines (make Mencoder or FFMpeg first) or enable them because it seems to me that these ase both disabled and only VLC is enabled. Test it and if it will not work send debug.log.

Hi valib
thank you again for your advices,
I choose FFmpeg and Mencoder, and with both transcod option, I still have only audio on my Xbmc, no video.
Attached files are the debug files for both options.
Thank you

UMS seems to be OK. It should be an XBMC or your Raspberry Pi problem. Unfortunately I can't help you with them.

Try ffmpeg with this in XBMC.conf:

Code: Select all

TranscodeVideo=H264TSAC3
Raspberry Pi only supports H264 video natively (mpeg2 requires a $3 license).

Hi Valib and infidel,
Just to let you know that the problem is solved with the solution of infidel (trnascode option in XMBC.conf).
Thank you both of you to have spent time on my problem!
