FFMPEG Args for framerate

Hi,
I have some AVIs created by a Canon PowerShot s2is camera.
some of the AVIs are shot using "low quality setting" which means it is 15 frames per second.

These videos can not be transcoded properly because the FFMPEG transcoder doesn't support 15 frames per second and needs the "-r 30" option to make the transcoding work.

You can see this from the FFMPEG -i below.

Metadata:
ISFT : CanonMVI03
Duration: 00:00:34.99, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 8910 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Video: mjpeg, yuvj422p, 640x480, 15 tbr, 15 tbn, 15 tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 44100 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 1411 kb/s

I looked thru the profiles.xml in the transcoding section for a way to specify the -r 30 option but I can't see any way.
Is there anyway? Can you help with how I might solve this using serviio. I don't want to manually "transcode" my files.

Thanks
Sean

Thanks,
I have also some old Canon Avi movies with 15fps that doesn't work with ffmpeg/serviio.
I'll test the -r 30 option.
In fact that could be could interesting to implement some customizable ffmpeg option according to selected profile or general customizable ffmpeg option.
Reflection is necessary

This was for my brother and he decided to go with Mezzmo because it can already do this....but I still think it would be nice to extend the profiles.xml to allow for more option tags as well as a general ffmpeg option tag.

2nd The Sony BD profile is only correct for Non US based players. The US players can only play mpeg and need transcoding. (US players can use Bravia profile)

3rd I really wish this was open source as I would have helped "propose/implement" a solution to my problem

Thanks and I really like serviio.
