VC-1 Codec streaming to Samsung BDC-5500

I have a Samsung BDC-5500 Bluray player and am trying to stream a video encoded with the VC-1 codec using Serviio. When I stream using Twonky, this video streams fine. When I try to stream with Serviio, the player tells me the video is using an unsupported video format. I do not have transcoding enabled in Twonky or Serviio. The Bluray player is able to decode VC-1 fine since it can play the video streamed from Twonky. How do I get Serviio to let me stream this video?

Found the problem. The Samsung C/D/E profile was configured to transcode VC-1 video. After commenting out that line in profiles.xml, the videos play fine.

In profiles.xml under profile id 7, I changed the following:

<!-- transcode H264 MP4 files with LPCM audio -->
<Video targetContainer="m2ts" targetACodec="ac3">
<Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="mp2" />
<Matches container="mp4" aCodec="lpcm" />
<Matches container="flv" vCodec="h264" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="flac" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="vorbis" />
<Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" aCodec="truehd" />
<!-- <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="vc1" /> -->
<Matches container="ogg" vCodec="mpeg4" />
<Matches container="3gp" aCodec="amrnb" />
</Video>
