Target Container

Not all devices/players support high-def AVIs (with h264), but if you want to try, just change:

	<format id="mpeg4" encode="1" codec="mpeg4" preferredtranscoded="1">

to:

	<format id="h264" encode="1" codec="libx264" preferredtranscoded="1">

same thing with the avi, has to finish transcoding first
BEST thing is MKV

ok last thing, is there a way to only identify as mp4 , but transcoded as mkv?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean... Do you mean to pass-through MP4s natively and transcode the rest to MKV?

[biso911]

no i mean the file is .MP4
but the transcoding is actually MKV

like when i did with the old DLNA software
the real file was MKV, but i changed it to ,avi so it can play

[Paul]

You could try changing the mime type in the device profile, but the device/player may refuse to play it after it gets the first few bytes and sees that it's not the described format.

Can you please tell me in more detail, what is the other DLNA software you used and how did you change MKVs to AVIs exactly?

twonky media

[Paul]

So how did you trick it into sending an MKV as an AVI?
