kdl 40hx800 (MKV support)

I'm new to this forum and serviio. Of course I became interested after I bought the Sony KDL 40HX800 what is a fine television!

Now I have a problem. I can't play .MKV files (the bravia isn't showing it on the file list other file formats are recognized by the bravia eg:avi)
Of course I really want my bravia to show MKV files because I have some 3d movies on my computer and my bravia 3d emitter and glasses cant wait to be used!

I have the latest version of ffmpeg and serviio 0.5 installed.
I stream from a windows 7 64bit OS.

I think the problem has to do with the fact that maybe my profile isn't configured on the right way. I have no experience jet with xml, but I can learn.

I hope you can help me,

Kind Regards,

extra info: I just runned a MKV.clean too rebuilt de MKV. I dont know if that does anything special (it does play a bit more fluent in VLC player)

I cant test if it gets recognized by the bravia (I'm at my work now )

Ok. I just edited my profile.xml with editix and inserted the bravia profile that is listed in the bravia 2010 post. (strangely it wasn't inserted in the original profiles.xml that come with version 0.5 of serviio)

Still at work so no chance to test it (live and work in curacao local time here is +5 hours to Amsterdam/europe time)

Will it work or is there another way around..

It is in 0.5. Unless you had some older version lying around. All you need to do it select Bravia profile for your device in the console.

Hi Zip,

Well I downloaded de 0.5 version and it automatic recognizes my Bravia television (profile)
It detects all movies but not .mkv

btw: I bought the Bravia in Miami (so american) but I cant imagine thats the reason.

Are there some test I can run to know why .mkv isn't recognized?
our is there a way I can ad something to the bravia profile?

thanks in advance,

Laurens
