I need an ability to force a certain aspect ratio for an individual live stream.

You have to edit the profile.xml file:
Read this :
http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24You can use options :
maxHeight - optional; limits transcoded video height to this value. It will cause video transcoding (similar to forceVTranscoding)
DAR - optional; forces the output video to the given display aspect ratio; possible values: 16:9
What is your device, and what is the profile selected on serviio console ?

My device is an LG Smart TV (2012 model), currently using LG TV profile.

It seems that LG TV does not support transcoding but you can try this.
- Code:
<Profile id="8" name="LG TV / player" extendsProfileId="1">
<Detection>
<HttpHeaders>
<friendlyName.dlna.org>LG.*</friendlyName.dlna.org>
</HttpHeaders>
</Detection>
<MediaFormatProfiles>
<MediaFormatProfile mime-type="video/mp4" name="">AVI</MediaFormatProfile>
</MediaFormatProfiles>
<SubtitlesMimeType>text/srt</SubtitlesMimeType>
<!--
Transcoding doesn't seem to work and some files can be played natively:
http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3914#p26273
<Transcoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="mp3">
<Matches container="matroska" aCodec="ac3" />
</Video>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >
<Matches container="avi" vCodec="msmpeg4"/>
</Video>
</Transcoding> -->
<OnlineTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpeg" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" aBitrate="384" DAR="16:9" >
<Matches container="*" />
</Video>
</OnlineTranscoding>
</Profile>
You can try with DAR="16:9" or DAR="4:3"
You can also play with maxHeight="720" option

I tried DAR="16:9" and maxHeight="720" - no effect. When I try 4:3, Serviio does not start at all. Any ideas?

OK I found that some sources are played correctly with a new LG 2012 profile, but not all.
