sony smp-n100 no compatible formats

Ok, so I looked around and I found that serviio was apparently a good media server, so I decided to switch from tversity to serviio as my new sony smp-n100 didn't want to pick up my tversity server... I installed it, selected the files I wanted to get the server to scan, left it 3 hours as I gave up on waiting on my cpu to go down in usage (sigh, can't see the indexing progress) to come back after 3 hours and my cpu was still being flogged (it was only 1tb of stuff) so I wen't and looked at what was causing the issues, it was FFMPEG, why I don't know (yes I know it is used to transcode the vid's) so I tried to use my sony to connect, I did connect to my pc... only problem, 1/100th of the videos were found... as in complete folders of movies would say that there were no movies in them, when I know there are...

What am I doing wrong?

Did you select the proper Xbar menu section : Video for video, Audio for Audio, etc...
Did you select the "Sony BDP" profile on serviio console for your SMP-N100 device ?

This is probably the library update process (every 5 minute depends on console settings).
You can disable the automatic library update, and set manually when needed.

Ive changed the update to daily, and how long should 1-2tb of indexing take? my system ain't crap + I have no way of knowing when it is done... Plus, why is FFMPEG doing the indexing, it is a media library from what I knew.

FFmpeg is what serviio use to acess the media files, and 1-2tb will take about 24 hours to full populate the library for first time, update time would depned on how many changes you have made and could take anywere from a few minutes to serveral hours.
