Hi, first of all sorry for english.

I use serviio on my samsung led/plasma without any problems.

i buy a Tv LG 50ph4700 (2012 i think) plasma smart 3d and try to play my movies mkv/mp4/rmvb
installed the serviio 1.4.0

the problem are:
when i set to LG TV / PLAYER i can play all mkv and mp4/avi without problems with external subtitles working very well ,No rmvb/rm work in this mode, no thumbs for rmvb files are show on navigation on tv.
when i set to Samsung Tv Player (E/F) the serviio transcode the files rmvb well and i can see perfectly on tv BUT my mkv/avi dont show external subtitles only one movie show mkv emblended subtitle

i have tryed Philips / Others Samsung profiles, i try to edit profile to make serviio transcode the rmvb for my LG but no work.

Can anyone help me ?

If I remember correctly, transcoding is commented out in the LG profile. Uncomment it and add rmvb matched, as per the Samsung profile.

I suggest using Notepad++ to remove the comments (Notepad++ colour codes xml files, making it easier to see where comments are). Try:
  Code:
<Profile id="8" name="LG TV / player" extendsProfileId="1">
   <Detection>
      <HttpHeaders>
         <friendlyName.dlna.org>LG.*</friendlyName.dlna.org>

   <MediaFormatProfiles>
      <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mp4" name="">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
   </MediaFormatProfiles>      
   <!--

I haven't removed the comments on the <ResourceTransportProtocolHandler> - you may need to at some stage.

Sometimes, you may encounter playback issue referring to video or audio codec.
I'm afraid you have to transcode rmvb to mp4, avi, mkv or other pop formats encoded by H.264/AAC.
Some freeware and online conversion service are recommended.
