Can't say for certain, but my guess. You could try a different profile, such as the DirecTV profile, which transcodes everything.

Try this:See how that goes.
- Edit the file \config\profile.xml
- Find the sam_h profile - starts with <Profile id="sam_h" name="Samsung TV / player (H-series)" extendsProfileId="1">
- Change the line in that profile
<H264LevelCheck>FILE_ATTRIBUTES</H264LevelCheck>
to
<H264LevelCheck>ANY</H264LevelCheck>- Save the file
- If Serviio Version 1.9.2 then in Serviio Console, Status tab (toward the bottom) press Stop Server and then press Start Server - this forces Serviio to reload the new profiles (if an earlier version of Serviio then restart your PC to reload the profiles)
For the techo's: Even though the file is being tagged as a High 5.1 Level in the metadata/header that is contrary to what the file attributes are telling us (if I do the maths on the file attributes the file is only a High 3.0 Level) - see http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=get_h264_level. As the file attributes are 3.0 the transcode statement <Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.2" /> is not being triggered when it probably needs to be. Setting the H264LevelCheck to ANY will use either the header info or the file attributes, whichever is higher --> the transcode statement should now get triggered.
