There is a nice mobile application in iTunes Store that can connect to Serviio server, but it might need a little transcoding, to be able to serve files to iPhone. I wonder how a Serviio transcoding profile should look like for a mobile DLNA client that hase the following specs:

The following audio formats are supported: AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV.

The following video formats are supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

The following image formats are supported: JPEG and PNG up to 1024x768 maximum resolution. This corresponds to DLNA image profiles JPEG_MED and PNG_MED

Can anyone with more advanced Serviio skills compile a transcoding profile?

Thank you in advance!

There was a couple of topics regarding this already. It seems that the iPhone only supports MOV (mp4) container which we cannot transcode into. If you find an app that allows playing mpegts container, then we can talk ;-)

The Apple devices can play m2ts but it has to be served through Apple HTTP Streaming, which FFmpeg can read but can't yet author. When it can there's still the issue that only H.264 can be served, so even watching a divx avi will be a major pain. Audio also has to be AAC in m2ts (mp3 is only supported for audio-only streams), which most NAS devices don't have the CPU power to transcode in realtime.
