For support you need to post in the support forum not in user experience forum, i will get this post moved to correct forum.

Turn on detailed logging (see signature) you should be able to see the FFmpeg command that is used for the transcode. Try executing the command manually in a terminal window and post the (error) result here.

I have done the things you say, but the ffmpeg command does not get recorded in the logs... all log records are related to updating media library.

Actually, the ffmpeg doesn't look like it returns any errors. I was just saying that the AVI file doesn't show when navigating for movies in PS3; all MKV's are there though, just the AVI that's missing.

Here is the ffmpeg command that I executed:

Do you enable detailed logging? You have to find some [DEBUG] comment...
But probably this avi file is streamed in native format according to the PS3 profile configuration:
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/divx">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>

You have to be sure PS3 support mpeg4 video with ac3 audio in an AVI container.
Do you try from an USB key disk.
No more ideas for me...

It looks like he doesn't even see the file on the screen.

Can you try AV Media Center (from Intel tools) to see if the file has been added to Serviio's library? If it's there then the PS3 doesn't like this particular file for some reason.

on tuesday 05/04/2011 i will use all my test file and work on the profile for the PS3 and see if io can make it as complete as the sony and samsung profiles i may need some hel;p and advise as i do tho illico if your around

@ildico - As I said, I have changed to DEBUG logging.

@zip - I don't have a Media Center from Intel, but I checked with Boxee installed on Windows 7 on a laptop and there the AVI file it shows and can be played. For some reason, is the PS3 that doesn't show this file.

AV Media Center is a tool for Intel tools software package (link in my signature)

I think you refer to AV Media Controller. I installed and YES, the file is there as well as is in Boxee's interface!

I restarted the NAS and PS3 and now it shows in PS3 as well... maybe it was something on the NAS's side?!?

So we could close this topic?

Yes, it should be closed to avoid further confusions. thank you for your support.
