Newly modified profile will no longer play particular file

Hello all,

I have recently altered my profile to play .mp4 and .avi files in their correct OAR. They were originally stretched. It fixed my issues, but I found one video that will no longer play. It worked fine before I changed my profile to add DAR 16:9 options. It works fine if I change the profile to generic. Here is the output when I run the ffmpeg -i command. Any help would be appreciated to get this running properly on my newly modified profile:

Thanks all!

Could you also provide the same info for a file that plays? Then we can look for differences.

  Code:
<Profile id="viera2011a" name="Panasonic Viera G/GT/DT/UT/VT (2011/2012)" extendsProfileId="viera2013">
      <!-- Panasonic Viera G30, GT30, DT30, UT30 With avi (2011), xx50 (2012)  With AVI Support -->
      <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <FriendlyName>(VIERA (G|D|U)T?(3|5)0?.*)|(VIERA VT50.*)</FriendlyName>
            <Manufacturer>Panasonic</Manufacturer>
         </UPnPSearch>
      </Detection>
      <Transcoding>
         <!-- remux VORBIS/FLAC/LPCM in MKV/MP4 to AC3 -->
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" DAR="16:9" forceInheritance="true">


The video will play as soon as I remove DAR="16:9" from that last line. The OAR is incorrect as it is stretching, but the video plays. It won't play once I change this back to include DAR="16:9". None of my other MP4 files have this issue. They will all play fine with the correct OAR when I add the DAR="16:9". Is it because the movie I am trying to watch has an even wider aspect ratio? (2.35:1 compared to 1.85:1)? Might be grasping at straws, but that's all that stands out to me.

The SAR/DAR look strange in the first file. Try remuxing the file and see if the helps - to remux the file use the command:

ffmpeg -i "D:\Media\Movies\Into the Wild.mp4" -c copy -map 0 "D:\Media\Movies\Into the Wild - Test.mp4"

Didn't work unfortunately. I get to "Please wait a moment" and the screen goes black and then that message prompt comes on again which is just like before. Thanks for responding though! Any other ideas? Appreciate your help.
