i would like to ask this question again.

Sony Renderer of the last generation, that BDP-S780, S580, S480 not play DIVX.
Certainly it's possible to "AVI FourCC Code Changer" which I am aware of. But a more elegant method I could find better, perhaps without batch file.

Is there a way to tell Serviio to read DIVX files as XVID?

There is a possibility?

If you select the Sony 2011 profile serviio will send the divx, xvid raw to the machine and it will play them. If you have Sony 2010 profile selected, or other Sony profile then they will be transcoded to mpeg2. Best to check you have the 2011 profile selected on the Serviio console.

Note though thats Sony implementation of xvid and divx isn't perfect and some files won't play. This has been discussed elsewhere in these forums, its a Sony issue. To resolve them you re-encode, change FourCC, depending on the issue or use the 2010 profile and have them work everytime but as mpeg2.

Yes, apparently it's a Sony firmware bug related to a particular setting/header in the MP3 audio in those files.

The Sony Blu-ray players from 2011 are no longer certified DivX (XVID ok).

I do not know if I understand correctly.
How can I "Sony 2011 profile" in my profile "Sony BD player / SMP" integrate? I would not change constantly.

Zip is working on improvements to all device profiles, however, this takes very much work and time. For the interim:

Why not copy your original divx files so they are saved on pc, then simply 'four cc change' the duplicate files to xvid ?
