I am having the same problem on a Samsung LE40C650.

Serviio shows the file, and samsung reports : videocodec not supported.

I have A le40c650, mine plays mkv's. Although I don't use Serviio that often.

I have just tried a mkv movie with dts. It took time to load, & although I haven't played it all the way through it seems ok.

Most MKV's play also without problem, but this particular one says codec not supported ?

[zip]

The TV is quite sensitive to the (especially h264) codec. Sometimes it doesn't like it and gives this error message even though the file looks good. That's why it cannot be really fixed unless you transcode all H264 files into mpeg2.

[hennys]

Hi,

I have also some files that report: nothing to play and audio codec not supported. Should I post the ffmpeg info here also, or open a new thread for that ?

Regards,

Hen
