Serviio logs show the following:

File opened directly via SMB works perfectly.

Which device are you playing to, what profile? Try remuxing the file - often corrects AVI container errors:

ffmpeg -i "file.avi" -c copy -map 0 "newfile.avi"

Thanks for the update.

The Device and profile are for an LG TV.
Remuxing the file gave me an additional 10 min however i'm still missing 20.
From the MediaBrowser the same length is displayed(as in the TV) for both files.

Make sure you have enough space in the transcoding folder.

The same is happening to me, only 1:03h in 90% of mkv files.
I'm streaming to a samsung d8000 from a lenovo laptop with windows 10, core i7 4710hq cpu and 16gb ram.
I have enough space in the transcode folder (c:/windows/temp), 750gb free.

Does it actually stop playing the file at 1 hour? I noticed this on a Samsung as well.. basically they ignore the duration sent to them and derive it from something else (perhaps a fake file size that is used for transcoded files).

Or try to upgrade FFmpeg.

Exactly, the timer is showing the proper time (1:03:27), and stops playing when it reach that point.
I forgot to say before that I'm using the samsung C/D series profile.

Do you need any log file?

I tried to stream to an xbox one, same file, and it worked fine: 1:56:26
Strange issue.
