renderer.conf for Philips PFL6007
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2022 10:00 am
Hello everyone,
I am writing a configuration file for the PFL6007 tv set with information gathered on the web about this device and the doc provided here and on the wiki github.
According to the manufacturer, the tv set has these capabilities (from the manual):
- Containers : MPEG Program Stream, MPEG Transport Stream, AVI, MPEG-4, Matroska, Windows Media, ASF
- Video Codecs : MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-4 AVC (H264), WMV9, DivX®
- Audio Codecs : MP3, AAC, HE-AAC V1, HE-AAC V2, WMA, AC3
- Image Codecs : JPEG
- Limitations : WMA (V2 up to V9.2), MPEG-4 AVC (up to level 4.0) <up to 4.1 in the french manual, even 4.2 in practice>
Subtitles are not supported over DLNA.
The tv set is not detected by device spy nor I can get information with the logs (except for the user-agent).
With that, I ended up with the conf attached in this post.
I have got questions:
1/ As for the TranscodeVideo parameter, does the profile alter the quality ? My tv set can't play h265 videos, is the MPEGTS-H264-AAC profile the best choice ?
2/ Are the Supported lines with the mpegts/mpegps format used for transcoding ? If yes, shouldn't they come last in the list ?
3/ I have put this line in the configuration file because the tv set actually played medias with these codecs:
Given the information above, I could write this instead :
Right ?
I am running a headless UMS instance on a Ubuntu server.
Thank for your support
