Muxing to MPEG4?

Do you reckon this is possible? As it is now, media is muxed as MPEG2-TS, which is a pure transport stream. Does MPEG4 have the same capabilities or is transcoding necessary?

I.e I would like to change the targetContainer=mpeg2video to targetContainer =mp4 in the transcoding options. As it is today, that's not an option. But would it be possible?

Ah, bummer...

Guess I'm stuck with the MPEG2-TS bug for the Samsung D series then.

Target container supported by serviio are:
asf, mpeg (MPEG2PS), mpegts (MPEG2TS)

Do you try asf or mpeg ?

I have not. I thought ASF and MPEGPS required transcoding?

ASF and MPEGPS are container, so you can only remux video and audio in these container...no transcoding.

but mpegps only supports mpeg2video and asf wmv. So you'd have to transcode into those.

Yep. I tried them briefly today and got "Codec not supported". So I guess this is a dead end in order to solve Samsung D skipping. Unless there's some way to fool Samsung D with a bogus bit length.
