Hi

I don't get transcoding of .wtv files to work with my Samsung TV UE55C8705. Can somebody tell me the exact settings for wildmediaserver to get this to work? I have searched the forum and tried different settings but to no avail....

Default settings for Samsung TV/BDP. Test transcoding works ? (select a file - right click - "Test transcoding")

Hi

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes it seems to transcode alright when test transcoding. As device I have selected Samsung TV (DLNA, 16:9, 1920x1080). But when trying to watch the same .wtv file from the TV it always gives error "Wrong File Format"?
Transcoding profile is defaulting to Movies(Primary). But I have also tried both WTV profiles.

There is a problem with the playback?

Hi

Sorry for my late reply. That is correct the file won't playback. The TV says always says "Not supported file format". Test transcoding works fine. Makes me suspect that WMS is not actually transcoding, because the TV works fine with all the file formats it is supporting?

Hi,

I also have the same issue with my Samsung TV. Do anyone have a solution for this? When selecting a wtv on the TV, transcoding does not start at all.

regards,
Staffan

Hi Eugene,

I am wondering why you have stopped responding to this issue? The sole reason I bought wild media server was because it was supposed to be able to transcode .wtv to a DLNA device such as a Samsung TV. Please advice if you have a working solution for this or not so I can decide if I need to look elsewhere for this functionality or not?

The thread you are refering to does not give any more clues to this issue than this thread do? There is a user in that thread (KlausV) who's question remains unanswered. He is asking for the specific settings to make transcoding of .wtv files to a Samsung TV to work? This is something I really would like to know too, because obviously it does not work out of the box......
