I've 2 smart TVs that play virtually everything but can't handle Divx encoded AVI files, but are happy with Xvid encoded ones.

As the title asks how can I code a PRF to enable transcoding to take place for Divx files but just stream Xvid ones?

You can add the following tag to the format section:

<format id="mpeg4" codectag="XVID" encode="1" codec="mpeg4" ffmpegadditional="mpeg4+encoding">

See other .PRF files for examples (e.g. SonyPlaystation3.prf)

Thanks Paul

That codectag entry works perfectly for my Panasonic AS650.

But I've a wee problem on my Sony W8 series. It now transcodes when it should but not playing properly, guess I need to look at any of the other changes I made for that new PRF.

I wish other providers of software & services were as responsive as Conceiva.

Thanks for your kind words :). You can email us your .PRFs and we should be able to tune them to work as you wish. Email us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com and zip your .PRFs beforehand so our email server does not block them.
