Serviio

Hi I am new here, I only discovered Serviio about a week ago after finding out my Buffalo Nas with Twonky installed would not stream my MKV files to my new Panasonic TV.

It worked fine with my WDTV live box, the Panasonic spec says it will handle MKV files but not the ones I have which are backups of my DVD's using Make MKV.

After putting Serviio on my PC I found the Panasonic still could not recognise the MKV's until I set the profile in Serviio to PS3 , now I can stream my collectionm to the Panasonic without having to go through a WDTV live. (my wife hates the WDTV user interface and remote control)

All I need now is a NAS that will run Serviio or build another pc to use as a video server.

Thanks to the developers for a terrific piece of software.

Cheers.

Brian.

Could you confirm that mkv doesn't work with "Panasonic" profile, but with "PS3" profile they play fine?
Could you also give some mkv information with "ffmpeg -i" or "MediaInfo" result? (see signature links)

Yes I can confirm that the Viera profile does not work for MKV files on my TX-P42G30B the AVCHD files I made with a Panasonic GH2 in video mode work but I would expect that, because MKv worked for my PS3 with Serviio I tried the PS3 profile and that worked fine on the Panasonic TV.

I will try to send you more info later. I have to walk my dog first or he gets grumpy.

Thanks I will give it a try, but I am happy using the PS3 Profile for now as it plays all my videos.

Will experiment with your suggestion and see how it goes.

Cheers.
