[SOLVED] Problem with transcoding *.avi files (highbitrate)

Hi,
I have a problem with transcoding *.avi files. The files with audio bitrate more then 224 kbit/sec (audio codecs: AC 3 ACM Codec and Lame MP 3) do not trascoded with Serviio. And play not by TV Sony. When bitrate less or = 224 kbit/sec, I have no problem.

Can you help with good advice?

TV Sony Bravia (2011)
NAS Synology 213 DSM 4.1
Serviio PRO 1.1 (Testing)

here are a couple of articles that should be able to help

this describes the basic process of editing a profile
http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=16

this goes through settings you can change for the profile
http://www.serviio.org/index.php?option ... icle&id=24

In short you need to figure out what profile is being used, you can look this up via the status tab in the console

Then you open profiles.xml and find the section that applies and make the change, your final edited line should look something like this.

  Code:
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" aBitrate="128">
