Serviio

I tried to do this myself, but I can't seem to get Divx Files to play on my Samsung player from my computer. I have the info to follow. ANy help would be appreciated.

Samsung info


My current profile settings


Easier Reading of just what I did
<MediaFormatProfiles>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/x-mkv">MATROSKA</MediaFormatProfile>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/x-avi">AVI</MediaFormatProfile> <!-- THIS IS WHAT I TRIED -->
<!-- MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/divx">DIVX</MediaFormatProfile -->
</MediaFormatProfiles>

I am trying to learn this so I would appreciate an explanation of what was done to help me learn as well.

Could you provide information about your divx file ? (ffmpeg -i <file> and MediaInfo tools result, see signature link)

Just one of the files

Are you sure that samsung support Divx 5.2.1 format over DLNA ?

You can try to change the fourcc to XVID with this tool : http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=avi4cc

U R great. Worked like a charm. Just curious as to why it's listed as a supported format on the spy return for the player, or if there is any way to find out what level it does support.

Really ! so we can close this topic?

Don't know.

Yes. It worked. Please by all means close it.
