Hello,

I am using MediaTomb on my Uno for the first time. I am streaming the video content to my Panasonic TV. My problem is that I cannot play .m2ts (avchd). However with my Twonky media server on my Windows 7 machine, I can play these files from my TV.

Do I need to change something on my mediatomb settings?

Thanks
S.

Open your Mediatomb config file config.xml (into /.mediatomb folder) and add this line into <mappings> tag:

Code: 
<map from="m2ts" to="video/mpeg"/>

If the line is already present we can make some tests...
If the line is missing and after adding it, the file is correctly played we add this fix to next BH images of course (with credits ;) )

Thanks. It did the trick. The line was not there and I have added it. I can now see m2ts files in the database. Howeve, I have done the same trick for mts files and these ones are not added to the database. Are these files supported? Why they cannot be added to the database?

Many thanks

is it possible to activate the transcoding option in the config.xml to play mkv on my tv. My TV doesn't support playing mkv natively. Will this have a performance issue on my Uno?

Transcoding is not supported. The CPU box is not sufficinet powerful to perform transcode :(

You can download the config file via FTP protocol, edit it and re-upload in the same position.
Make backup of modified files!!!!

I see no config file
Where can I download it and upload it again?
I'm only in usr /share /mediatomb found, but there is no config file in there

The dir where you can find config file is /.mediatomb (hidden dir)
