Do you try to play the mkv in native format, select "Generic Profile" in serviio console?
or
Edit profiles.xml and read the <Profile id="10" name="Sony BD Player / SMP"> section

<!-- Sony BDP requests all formats except mpeg-ps and mpeg-ts in 32KB chunks which works badly over wifi, hence mkv files are remuxed to mpeg-ts by default in this profile. Natively played mkv files
stutter irretrievably after seeks, which seems to be a DLNA firmware issue with the player. If you have a European or Canadian player (not US), you stream over a wired connection and want mkv subtitles,
dts support, and multiple audio tracks - but don't care that you can't seek - remove all matroska transcoding matches below to have the player decode mkv natively. -->

I have a similar problem playing files wirelessly on the smp-n100. I thought the problem was the bitrate over the wireless network. It might be the smp-n100 can't handle that fast a stream or that complex a mkv file. I changed the profile to always re-encoding the mkv files to a different format and down grade the video stream bit rate and set it to 720p. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6591

hope it helps
