I recently purchased a Panasonic DMR-HWT250 PVR, which can also function
as a DLNA client - I run Serviio on my PC as the server. I can use the
DLNA client on the PVR to play MP4s I create myself, but if I try to
play any of the MP4s downloaded by GiP, I just get a "Please wait"
message on the TV screen and the file never starts playing.
I re-encoded a couple of the GiP MP4s using VidCoder (which uses
HandBrake as its encoding engine), and then copied the re-encoded MP4s
over the ones downloaded by GiP, and those re-encoded MP4s play through
the DLNA client without any problem...
I'm running GiP 2.94 on Windows, and the command I use is just
get_iplayer --pid=nnnnnnnn --modes=hlsbest
Any suggestions on any command line options I can try to get around this
problem?
Try running the mp4 through mkvtoolnix, the conversion to mkv seems to
strip out a lot of the container info that iPlayer and GiP add.
Thanks for the suggestion. I found that adding the --mkv command line
option to GiP created an mkv output file directly that the DLNA client
in the PVR played without any problem.
