While the title of this issue includes H263, there is no reference to it in content. This comment is to say that Serviio correctly recognizes and transcodes both VP6 and Sorenson Spark H263 as used in YouTube low quality and abc-news online feed videos. There is however a bug in the playback of those transcoded videos on D series Samsung TV's which I have posted as #429, but all these VP6/H263 online videos transcode and play correctly on the Samsung D Series BR. I believe H263 should be removed from the title of this issue.

Serviio doesn't know H263 codec, as provided from ffmpeg -i. That's the reason this ticket exists.

I assume that means one cannot use vCodec='h263' in transcoding matches until it is recognized. I believe VP6 is already recognized. Am I correct?

rtsp is still not working correctly (needs ?tcp, but not all sources support it) but H263 added
