Testing with Sony Bravia KDL-40WE5
After I added an additional profile for Sony Bravia TV in the "profiles.xml" in the serviio 0.4.1 config folder as follows:-
<Profile id="9" name="Sony Bravia TV" extendsProfileId="1">
<Detection>
<X-AV-Client-Info>BRAVIA.*</X-AV-Client-Info>
</Detection>
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
<Matches container="avi" />
</Video>
</Transcoding>
</Profile>
and VOILA!! it works.....
Maybe with a bit of work the newer Bravia EX3, EX4 etc can be incorporated as well. Their sink file appear to have a lot more entries than the older KDL-40WE5 or KDL-40W5840.
With a bit of work, Serviio is the best media server in the world for Sony Bravia DLNA TVs
The automatic thumbnails from TheMoveDB.org etc and having Alphabetical Titles so you don't have to scroll through a long movie list to reach the THEs is just fantastic and just select "T" and then scroll down a much smaller list.
Crappier media server with these features like Wild Media Server where you have to manually add Thumbnails and take forever to scroll down to reach all the THEs movies like "The Lord of the Rings" because they only show all Movies in the entire list.
Maybe this new Sony Bravia TV profile can be included in the next release 0.4.2
