Shoutcast on Bravia

[ha100]

Hello Eugene,

When I play Shoutcast internet television on my Sony Bravia the sound is choppy. On Playstation 3 it's fine. What can I do? Probably the sample rate must be changed. But how?

Settings-Transcoder-Profiles-Internet-television-Edit

Code: Select all

Min(cfgTranscodingAudioBitrate div 1000, 192),

Try to change the 192 to a larger value (maximum of 320)

That doesn't help. I think the transcoded format is not ok for the Bravia W5500. In the transocing console it says:

Code: Select all

Raw-audio server found, nsv demuxer selected
packetizer_mpeg4audio packetizer: AAC channels: 2 samplerate: 22050

I think the problem has to do with the audio stream of 22050 samplerate. PS3 has no problem with that but Bravia has.

Sorry, did not pay attention to the sample rate This radio station ?

No these are tv stations. Playing just fine on PS3 but not on Bravia. Picture on Bravia is ok but sound is not. The format it's transcoded into must not be fine for the Bravia. How can I change the format the sound is transcoded into?

function GetAudioCodec(const aFileFormat: string): string;

    Result := 'mpga'
end;

Can I change 'mpga' into something else for the audio like I had to change 'mpeg1' into 'ps' for the video to make it work on Bravia?

Maybe change samperate at 8000, 16000, 32000, 44100 ?

Mpga with samplerate at 22050 works best but still not ok. Mp3 works too but mpga is better. No sample rate is 100%. Is there something else I can try?

If changes the sound settings does not help, you can do transcoding test, copy the test file in a directory of media resources, to try to play a resource with a profile transcoding Movies (primary), if no problems, then we can make a new profile with a double transcoding.
