What the title says. Is this issues caused by lack of codecs from my TV or is it software(serviio) related? When i try to play .mkv files some play fine others i get the "unsupported file format" error. Can anyone help me in bypassing this problem? Thank you.

The TV doesn't like the way the file has been encoded.

Yeah i thought as much. I update the firmware on the TV every-time hoping they will add new codecs but unfortunately thats never the case. Guess i have to convert or re-encode them somehow. Thnx for the answers
