Having finally added net/minidlna to our ports collection, I’m trying to figure out my own Sony TV, and – based on your experience – tried converting a few of my videos into .mpg format (mpegts) using a Makefile like this:
.SUFFIXES: .mpg .mkv .avi .flv .wmv .mp4
VPATH= /green/movies
FFMPEG_ARGS= ‑f mpegts ‑sameq ‑vb 4096k \
‑r 25 ‑ac 2 ‑ar 48000 ‑ab 192k \
‑async 2 ‑threads 2
.mkv.mpg:
ffmpeg ‑i “$Video->DLNA server->All videos).
I’m now trying to redo them with an explicit flag ‑s hd1080 (size 1920×1080) to see, what happens…
Meanwhile, I wonder, what does YOUR TV “say”, when it does not like a video-file. Does the file even appear on the list – to be rejected as “invalid” later?
Thanks!
