L42U30T can't handle XviD files by transcode-1.0.6

I have a Panasonic Vierra L42U30T. It works great with Serviio. However, I noticed that the TV was barfing on CERTAIN (not all) DivX/XviD files. I finally sat down and did some thorough profiling to figure out WHICH files it hates and which ones it likes.

The only culprit I could find was the encoder. The TV could not handle any files encoded with transcode-1.0.6. All other encoders (and there were many) were fine. I tried figuring what what exactly was different about the files transcode-1.0.6 was making, but failed in that endeavor.

Upon googling, I found this thread: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1927 which verified that I was not alone. So, I tried doing this:

  Code:
ffmpeg -i input.avi -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.avi


The output.avi was just slightly bigger than input.avi, and the TV could play it perfectly!

So ... my question is: How can I hack serviio's profiles.xml to trigger the above command on xvid files (i.e. mpeg4 in avi)? If possible, trigger it only for those files encoded by transcode-1.0.6? Any suggestions welcome!

Note: I don't want to manually run the command on my existing collection. I don't keep a very big collection around - it is regularly and automatically refreshed by deluge using several torrent feeds.

I just run the avi's thru DivFix 1.10

I have created a few batch files which you can run, which goes thru all the files in one directory, which also correctly renames them back, and one which just use via the dropdown menu / send to.

If you want i can just send you the batch files..
