transcoding issues with bravia

Hello everyone

I would like some insight in fixing this issue. I am currently trying to play a .mkv file with codec information in the attached image on my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX700. I am getting the message "Temporarily cannot access the server. Please retry."

Other .mkv files work flawlessly with my configuration but I believe this one has a different audio codec then the others.

I have the latest Serviio (0.6) installed on my PC.

Short of recoding the file, is there something I can add to the Bravia profile to enable this one to play?

I hope this helps Petr. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me so if you could explain what you find a bit I would appreciate it.

Could you post the serviio.log logging file when you start this file? ffmpeg probably crashed.

Here is the associated serviio.log entry

Thanks,
Confirmation: FFmpeg execution failed
Your file is corrupted, try to re-encode or find another source...

Thank you for the information. It was nice to see the process at which everyone took to determine the issue.

I obviously knew there was something wrong but considering VLC player plays the file I wouldn't have thought it was corrupted.

So I suppose the only question I have left is that if FFMPEG has an issue with transcoding the file wouldn't I have an issue recoding?

VLC is very permissive, it "ingests" has just about everything!!! ffmpeg is just after...
