Panasonic Viera VT30B WebM MKV Transcoding

Hello there,

Serviio has been very useful so far, but I've just encountered an MKV file that gives 'File type not supported' unless I manually remux it to m2ts.

The source file has Codec ID of "V_MPEG2" in Media Player Home Cinema and "MPEG-1/2 Video (mpgv)" in VLC. It appears to be the WebM subset of Matroska container.

I'm using the Panasonic Viera profile, but adding <MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mpeg">V_MPEG2</MediaFormatProfile> to the Transcoding element causes the service to fail to load, and <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpgv" /> in the unsupported codecs targeting mpegts also fails to be accepted.

My TX-P42VT30B supports for playback and streaming:
MKV (*.mkv)
Video: H.264 BP / MP / HP
Audio: MPEG, MP3, Dolby Digital, DTS Core

FFMPEG says:

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 47.95 (48000/1001) -> 47.92 (575/12)

Stream #0.1(kor): Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 320 kb/s (default)

Is there a way I can configure Serviio to try forwarding this type of video as MPEG2 or transcoding it to mpeg2ts?

Re: Panasonic Viera VT30B WebM MKV Transcoding

Matroska with mpeg2 video is not supported.

Edit the last <video> element of the Panasonic profile section:
Add this <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpeg2video"/>
  Code:
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">            
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="mjpeg" />
            <Matches container="avi" vCodec="dvvideo" />
            <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="mjpeg" />
            <Matches container="asf" />
            <Matches container="flv" />
            <Matches container="ogg" />
            <Matches container="3gp" />
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpeg2video"/>            
         </Video>
