sorted.

You have right, but what I am looking for is a script that transcode all the video with audio AC3 in MP3. The reason is that in ac3 my video is start and stop.

[Illico]

All video !!?

So replace all targetACodec="ac3" by targetACodec="mp3" in the Philips profile section.

[Cerberus]

ok im confused that dont make sense if you mean AVI with ac3 to mp3 you cant but u can just remux it to mpeg.

Yes video AVI - AC3 converted in AVI - MP3 why is not possible? With converter software like AVS Converter I can do it.
What I don't know if I have to transcode also the video or only the audio...

Because when u transcode it you can it to mpeg container and u cant have ac3 inside mpeg container as its not supported by the device. Thats why i added this section to the profile to solve your problem

  Code:

         <Video targetContainer="mpeg">
            <Matches container="avi" aCodec="ac3"/>
         </Video>


With your script i hear the sound but black screen, I see in the temporary folder the transcode file: "transcoding-temp-604-MPEG2PS.stf"

What I have to do?

[Illico]

MPEG-4 Visual Video codec remuxed into MPEG-PS is not supported by Philips TV (and all devices...its not a standard). (MPEG-TS too).
You have to transcode the video to MPEG2VIDEO.

In fact, if you have to remux an AVI file, you should transcode the video codec.
Because the targetContainer supported by serviio are MPEGPS, MPEGTS, ASF.....AVI, MKV or MP4 target container are not supported.

try this:

@illico u was 2 clicks ahead of me

I want to thank Cerberus and Illico for the fast help. Now I will try your script Cerberus and I will write the result.
So I see that future release of Serviio can be upgradeted to support AVI, MKV or MP4 target container.

Not sure, AVI, MKV and MP4 target container are not adapted for streaming (there where some information at the end of file for example)

Cerberus your last script is not working, still the video is stop and go. My original video is XviD - AC3
Here you can see the file generated by the transcoding:

Still I see that the audio is AC3, but I need that is MP3...

[Cerberus]

you can not have it as mp3 its NOT supported.

you can not have it as mp3 its NOT supported.

Which other codec audio is supported? For my television AC3 is not good, so I have to put another audio...

Could be I have to reduce the channels audio and the bitrate? Which is the value I can put in the script?

just try the profile i posted above.

No you profile is nor worlking the video start and after 2 seconds stop and go and black screen.
I was put this new line in the script to force the transcoded video to be a 2 channel stereo, but how you can see in the transcode file: "transcoding-temp-604-MPEG2PS.stf" the audio channels are still 6, the bitrate 448 Kbps

Check your detailed logging file and found the ffmpeg command line used to transcoded this file.
Then try locally the same command line in a windows terminal. Check the ffmpeg process, you will probably find the reason why ffmpeg does not force to stereo...
