Sony Bravia 52XBR9 OS X & MKV

Hi,

I'm new to serviio. I've set it up on my Mac running Snow Leopard and I have the Sony Bravia profile selected for the TV. I can play AVI files just fine but MKV are nowhere to be found. I've reviewed /Applications/Serviio.app/Contents/Resources/Java/config/profiles.xml and the configuration does seem to be in order under the Bravia section. ffmpeg -i of one of my mkv files is pasted below:

Please help.

... I can play AVI files just fine but MKV are nowhere to be found.

Do you mean that MKV are not added to the library?
Do you have a look at the Series folder ?
Transformers Prime - S01E01 - Darkness Rising.mkv
Seems to be a serie:
http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seri ... 6891&lid=7

Please enable detailed logging (see my signature link), clean the log file, then restart the serviio service. Before you could rename a mkv file to be refreshed by serviio.
I suppose : /Applications/Serviio.app/Contents/Resources/Java/log/serviio.log

Hi,

I've been crazy busy so I could not troubleshoot and generate the log file with debug option. I've attached it with this post though. Also I don't see anything under series so I access my videos under Folders.

Thanks.

It's been added and you should see it in the Folders view (I can see you browsed there and the file description was served)
