You can try the standard "transcode_video" script. That one unfortunately has "DVD quality" output, but it is well tested. The transcode_video-hq is a quick try on creating a script that tries to keep the quality as high as possible, but it is computationally intensive and it may require bandwidth too big for the TV to actually play some files. My Samsung TV refuses to play some files with this script too. The "client is full??" message in the log confirms it. I'm sure that someone with more experience in using ffmpeg would be able to come up with a better script, though.

It is very clearly what you wrote but I must say I have an issue with that. When I set container to all in minidlna.conf then I can't play any video on my tv (Sony Bravia kdl46nx720). I try to play mp4 files (h264/aac) that my bravia supports very good. I need to transode this files to get subtitles in my movies (tv doesn't support external subs). I have: transcode_video_containers=all transcode_video_transcoder=/usr/share/minidlna/transcodescripts/transcode_video-hq ffmpeg works with srt and ass subs (tested in terminal) so I edited properly transcode_video-hq to load subtitles. Movie doesn't start, I get "Unable to play media" on my tv. In minidlna.log I get: http://paste.org/65858

tydell: you can force transcoding of all videos by using "all" in place of the list of containers, so the settings looks like this: transcode_video_containers=all in /etc/minidlna.conf. This works for audio and images too. As for your second question, it is enough to set the container. A video is transcoded if its audio codec, video codec or container is set for transcoding (ie. only one needs to match).

Is it possible to force transcoding for all media files (e.g. all videos) ? If I set video container for transcoding for example to mp4, do I have to set video codecs too ?

minidlna-transcode-hg merged into readymedia-transcode-git.

p-we: Thank you for pointing that out! I've uploaded a fixed package (without pkpgver bump though, it's just a small change).

Thanks a bunch for minidlha-transcode-hg, and now this. Small detail: service file needs to ExecStart at /usr/bin

As per the move from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin line 36 should have --sbindir=/usr/bin added to it.
