Is wireless streaming of 3D movies worth it? i mean do you loose video quality? i tried streaming one and during the full movie i saw a loading bar once... it didn't seem corrupted or pixelated.. is there a way to check the bandwidth/rate at which the movie is being transfer??

it's streamed as the TV requests it, so there will be no quality reduction

Cool thanks... Now few of the movies that i have, they come with the regular .mkv file and also have a .srt file... If i keep both of them in the same folder will servo merge them and my tv will play both of them at the same time???

Rename the srt file to the same name as your movie (keeping it in the same directory) and if your player supports it you will able to see subtitles.

Could you check videobitrate of your movie, must be <20-25Mbps?
Do you have library auto refresh enabled, a refresh during movie streaming need CPU and network bandwidth?
We also need information about your mkv file, provide "ffmpeg -i" and MediaInfo result ? (see signature links)

try to change h264 level from 5.1 to 4.1 using viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2118

Videobitrate:
- result is strange, Total time is 5s !!, this mkv file should be corrupted, do you try with VLC or MediaPlayer Classic on your MacOS ?

Mediainfo:
- Please provide in text output format

ffmpeg -i:
retry with " " around file path
  Code:
Miguels-iMac:MacOS Miguel$ ./ffmpeg -i "~/Volumes/Macintosh HD 2/Movies Serviio/TRON_LEGACY_3D/TRON_LEGACY_3D.mkv"


In fact h264 Level 5.1 is not supported, must be less than 4.1.
Try with Zip link.

Then your video really is 5.1 and will not play with Serviio until you reencode it to level 4.1
