Can't play MKV files on UE32ES5505

I just bought a Samsung UE32ES5505 and I can't play any MKV files (file is listed with metadata, screen shot from movie, thumbnail). Weird thing is that I have an older Samsung (UE46C600) that can play the exact same files. Anyone got a clue why I can't play MKV files on a newer model? I use Serviio (1.0.1) as DLNA server and it works like a charm with my UE46C600.
Other codecs like xvid (avi) works fine and I have tried to update the firmware, but I had the latest.
Anyone have a clue?

More info: I have no problems with MKV files when I play the same files from a USB stick. So it's something with either Serviio or the integrated Allshare sotfware from Samsung.
How can I take the necessary serviio logs?

The final post.
Works fine to play MKV files when I use the Allshare dLNA server instead of Serviio. To bad since I really hate the Allshare crap but I need to go over for now. Hopefully there is someone with the same problem and a solution.
