Viera TX-L37E30E mkv not playing

Hi,

AVIs are playing good, but I have problems playing MKVs. For example, this one cannot be played:

ffmpeg -i drive.mkv

The TV player says "file format not supported. I use Panasonic Viera profile. When I try the Generic or for example the Philips profiles, MKVs are played but either slow, or sound is glitchy.

Here's my Viera profie:

I have the same TV model, except its 42' and i can play MKV just fine, can you remuxe your mkv to DAR 16:9 and try again ? Is this happening with all your mkvs ?
If the DAR change does not work, try to convert the MKV sound to AC3 or DTS, cause in my tests these 2 formats play. Will try to play DCA sound later.

The TV player says "file format not supported. I use Panasonic Viera profile. When I try the Generic or for example the Philips profiles, MKVs are played but either slow, or sound is glitchy.

I believe that when you change to Philips profile, the philips TV cannot natively play mkv files, so, serviio starts transcoding and your PC cannot do-it on-the-fly. Thats why they run slowly.

Regards.
