Server Log file attached: server-63522216771.log

ffmpeg Log generated playing MP4 file locally in web client attached: ffmpeg-ad70d4dd-2169-4f71-8825-090abefcd5f9-mp4 

 

I realize I did not post the log files properly so I am EDIT/resubmitting with more info. Sorry for questions about “old technology” but my extender has its usefulness for now.

 

Problem:
My HP x280n Media Center Extender (MCE) will not play MP4 container AAC audio (2.0 or 5.1) using Media Browser 3 server (MB3) and Media Browser Classic (MBC) in Win7 Media Center.  MP4 containers with a range of audio codecs are supported (see above).

 

Tried Troubleshooting:

PC Server tested: MP4 container files play audio/video in Media Browser Web Client , Media Player 12, Media Center  Pictures/Videos and in MBC.
 

HP Extender tested:  The extender has a local, removable HDD and Wi-Fi & Wired network connections (I'm using wired).  A full range of MP4 files play audio/video both from the local HDD and networked NAS disk in the basic extender interface (not Media Center). In the Media Center interface the MP4 video plays beautifully from the PC Server, however no audio will play in either the Pictures/Videos section or from MBC.

 

In the Media Center interface in either the Pictures/Videos section or from MBC, both audio & video play beautifully for .avi, .ts. I have not installed LAV filters so I do not play MKV over the extender.

 

Below are the audio/video container and codecs supported by the extender:

Below are the mp4, mkv & avi parameters for the files I tested:

This post was from 2013 and no one commented or suggested anything. I guess no one else besides us is using hp as an extender. I am in the same boat right now. I just don't understand where the problem is coming from. XBOX plays them fine using MBC.
