[SOLVED]Serviio not showing ".ts" files Recorded TV From PVR

As Requested, I've opened a new thread for this problem.
It is the same problem that I experienced with the previous version of Serviio, and it was solved in the linked thread.
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2492&start=20
In that thread, you offered two edits to the "profile.xml" file, the first didn't work, so I have not tried it on this version.
The second edit worked on the first version of Serviio, but hasn't worked on this one.
Cerberus recommended that I should ask Illico, since he is the expert on Sony products, hence the pm, sorry if this was not the correct way to contact you.

Just turned on the TV and run the gauntlet of "Daytime Television" and behold, Serviio is performing perfectly!
I wasn't aware that the PC/TV (one or the other, or maybe both) needed to be re-booted for the edit to take effect.
Sorry !

Yes, when the profiles.xml was edited, you need to restart the serviio services, for modification to be taken into account.
- Select "Stop Serviio Service" and "Start SErviio Service" on windows start program menu.
or
- Restart your PC.

So the solution for your issue is:

<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" maxVBitrate="17000" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="192">
<Matches container="asf" />
<Matches container="avi" />
<Matches container="mp4" />
<Matches container="matroska" />
<Matches container="flv" />
<Matches container="wtv" />
<Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="mp2" />
</Video>

Confirm?

Confirm?

Yes, the above edit was ultimately successful.
I did stop Serviio prior to editing the "profiles.xml" file, but when Serviio was re-started, the edit seemed not to have had any effect.
Only after the TV and PC were re started this morning did I discover that the edit was indeed sucessful.
Could it be that the PC needs to be re-booted after the edit, rather than just re-starting Serviio?

yep

Sorted!!

No, its a bug. Restarting serviio service must do the job !

So what do I do?
It seems to be working OK, should I expect problems?

Nah it the old problem that people are not restart service properly.

I think I stopped and re-started serviio from the console!

OK, on console you only stop and start the server part of serviio...but not the serviio services !! (Its not clear I know...)
On Windows Start Program Menu, select Serviio --> Stop Serviio Service and Star Serviio Service.

I'll try and remember that for future, thanks.

Does this change affect the Sony N200 ?

I have not done any editing to the Sony profile - should I do that, or is there a new profile.xml that needs to be downloaded..

Do you read the Sony FAQ (2011, 2010, wiki):

Q: I can see the file on my TV and has a thumbnail picture, but when I try to play the file I get an error "The server is Temporarily unavailable". Serviio log : ERROR [ResourceTransportRequestHandler] Error while processing resource, sending back 500 error. Message: FFmpeg execution failed java.io.IOException: FFmpeg execution failed
A: Turn on detailed logging (see link) you should be able to see the FFmpeg command that is used for the transcode. Try executing the command manually in a terminal window and post the (error) result here.
