No Video on Sony 40ex723 (2011 series)

Hi Guys,
Downloaded a series to watch but sadly I cannot get the video to work on it just the sound. I have tried a few different profiles to see if that makes any difference but it's still the same. Had the issue on both 1.3 and now 1.4. The file plays back perfectly in VLC, any ideas?

Here is the file details

The video should be remuxed with a transcoded ac3 audio in a mpegts container.

There is probably something with the h264 video coding settings used during ripping that your TV does not support (I don't know what...)

For this particular file, you can use a specific profile that force video transcoding.

Add this at the end of profiles.xml file, just before the last </profiles> element, save, restart serviio services or reboot pc, then select the profile on serviio console.

  Code:
   <Profile id="sonymkv" name="Sony Bravia TV (2011) - MKV*" extendsProfileId="sony2011">
      <Transcoding>
         <!-- Transcode MKV/h264 -->
         <!-- remove DAR option on next line for U.S. model -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" forceInheritance="true">
            <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="h264" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>
   </Profile>
