i was unaware that the ps3 can't read a mp4 with those settings. but it may be a container related issue or codecs used to create the file, but honestly it may need to be transcoded to be played.
exact details on the file will help. like a mediainfo page... like this or a sheet view using mediainfo....

- just a screen shot of the mediainfo example of an mp4 video file i have

well this is puzzling to me as im not sure why this file wont be played on a ps3.
the only thing i think may be the issue is the codec used to create the file and or the p10 profile.
can you remux the file to a proper format? or re-encode it?
I use any video converter or xmedia recode - both are free.
but as i said not sure why it wont read the file.... if you want to just force all mp4 to be transcoded then you can use this in your profile... i have added it to the <transcode> section of the profile.xml.
and just in case make a backup of your profile - Copy you profile.xml to a safe location... flash drive... my docs... the desktop.... etc...
ok here is the transcode section with the added part for all mp4 to be always transcoded.
<Transcoding>
<!-- Transcode all h264 video with HIGH/MAIN > Level 4.1 on MPEG-TS stream with MPEG2VIDEO and ac3 audio transcoding -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="main" levelGreaterThan="4.1" />
<Matches container="avi" vCodec="dvvideo" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vp8" />
<Matches container="*" vCodec="h265" />
<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
<!--
remux MKV with any video to MPEG2TS and possibly change audio to ac3, also AVI and FLV with H264
-->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384">
<Matches container="matroska" />
<Matches container="avi" vCodec="h264" />
<Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264" />
<Matches container="3gp" vCodec="h264" />
</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" >
<Matches container="wtv" />
<Matches container="asf" vCodec="mpeg2video"/> <!-- dvr-ms -->
</Video>
<!-- all other unplayable files just transcode to mpeg2 -->
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" aBitrate="384">
<Matches container="flv" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
<Matches container="3gp" />
<Matches container="asf" vCodec="mpeg1video"/> <!-- dvr-ms -->
<Matches container="asf" vCodec="vc1" aCodec="wmapro"/> <!-- only 2 channel audio is natively supported -->
<Matches container="asf" vCodec="wmv2"/>
<Matches container="rm" />
</Video>
<Audio targetContainer="lpcm" aSamplerate="48000">
<Matches container="flac" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
<Matches container="adts" />
<Matches container="wavpack" />
<Matches container="mp2" />
<Matches container="mpc" />
<Matches container="ape" />
</Audio>
</Transcoding>
let me know if that helps... or if just re-encoding the file helps.
could also possibly be that your ps3 needs a software update as well.
what version of serviio are you using?
what settings are you using in serviio?
there are a lot of variables that can affect what plays and what will not.

good evening,
thank you very much for that , I have forgotten to say that I use the profile " playstation 3 " to play audio file on a ikéa television. The big problem I encounter is from the mpeg4 file that are not read. I manage to read the mpeg4 file with the profile " sony bdp - sx70 / smp - n100 (2010 ) us , but this profile read the video file with DTS soundtrack . grrr . thank you very much for your help and sorry but my English is not very good .

I hope you got it sorted out.
the changes i posted will force serviio to always transcode mp4 files that use h264 as its codec ....
but you could always edit out the part that says this
<Matches container="mp4" vCodec="h264" />
to this instead
<Matches container="mp4" />
that way no matter the codec used by the mp4 file, serviio will transcode all mp4 files.
hope this helps
cheers
