Does ReadyDLNA in OS 6.1 support Transcoding?
No luck in streaming RMVB files. Does anyone know if ReadyDLNA in OS 6.1 support transcoding? Read the ReadyNAS OS 6 PDF (updated Apr 2013) but cannot find anything related to transcoding. Tha...
Actually to get playback to work, both the DLNA client and the DLNA server need to support the format. The server might not transcode, but it still needs to recognize and extract the elementary bitstreams from the media files. That is one of the liabilities of DLNA.
RMV8 is proprietary (realplayer) though it has been reverse engineered. So it is not surprising that support is weak. You will probably need to convert these files - or watch the media on a PC with VLC.
MP4 (H.264 video, aac audio), AVI (xvid video, mp3 audio) and MKV (h.264 video, ac3 audio) are the most portable formats. If you don't care about surround sound, MP4 is probably best.
