Ps3 unsupported mp4 video

I have my camera videos under pictures in mixed formats, because of different phones, cameras etc. My renderer is PS3, serviio is on Qnap NAS.

Some of the mp4 files are working well but some of them are listed as "unsupported data". I have tried adding <Matches container="mp4" vCodec="mpeg4" /> line under my <!-- all other unplayable files just transcode to mpeg2 --> list. That helped to see and play the files, but all my mp4 files started to be transcoded and that is slow on qnap. Is there a way to list and play this files without transcoding and without forcing other already working files to transcode?
Here is NOT working file properties, which comes from a phone:

No, you could only distinguish files with "matches" parameters: http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24

About your mp4 sample,seems good, I only notice to be a mp4 video with variable frame rate. Don't know if PS3 supports that...

Can I send you a sample video to try?
I see that "working video" file has also variable bitrate.
