Pause messed up

If I press "Pause" when playing a movie on my Bravia, the picture goes still on the screen, but, when I push "Play" again, it picks up from much later in the movie. As if the action kept going, even though the TV was not showing it...
Anybody else have this problem?

Is that a transcoded movie? If yes, when the TV asks to continue from a certain time it's converted into bytes as if it's constant bitrate stream, which might cause some minor discrepancy. You could enable detaile logging to see if the TV actually makes a new request after you unpause the video with a time seek value or if it just continues playing from it's internal buffer or the stream where it left off.

Same problem here with the Bravia KDL-32EX500...
I tried to boost the buffer (cf other post), stopped and restarted the service. I even deleted the tempfile... But when I relaunch the movie, I get back to where I left it before all that (and it's still stuttering) :/
PS: the movie is transcoded
PPS: how can I "enable detailed logging" ?

Transcoded or remux? if transcoded, you can limit the bitrate with this option : maxVBitrate - optional; max. video bitrate [kbit/sec] or omit to keep the same quality

Well I checked the "enable transcoding" box. How do I know if it's only remuxed ?
Where/how can I set those options ?
Thanks for the tip about detailled loggin, I'll see what I can find through that.

I tried the following :
enabled
detailed loggingstopped the server
stopped the service
cleared the log
deleted the temp file
started the service
started the server
launched the movie from tv set
and... It started playing from where I left it off, and nothing was added to serviio's log ! A new tempfile was created.
I used fast forward for a few minutes and it seemed to work.
Would it be possible the movie somehow is now stored within the tv ?
What else can I try from there ?

Anyone can help me on that ? Missing the pause function is quite annoying, even more so when trying to let the buffer get a good head start :/

I get the same thing, don't mind it as much as Sony's being picky with h264 codecs.
