MKV won't play on PS3, if I FFMPEG it to MP4 plays fine

I've got a MKV file that won't play on my PS3 from Serviio, but, if I change its container then it plays fine:

  Code:
ffmpeg -y -i fargo.s01e02.720p.hdtv.x264-killers.mkv -c copy fargo2.mp4


Is it possible to get serviio to do this for me?

Here is MEDIA INFO for the file:

This should happen by default if you have the Playstation 3 profile selected, and transcoding is enabled. Check these settings (in Serviio console - renderer profile in the Status tab, and
enable Transcoding on the Delivery tab.

The Playstation 3 profile is selected. Transcoding is enabled. I think thats how/why the first MKV file plays.

Not sure - if its still a concern then perhaps check the Serviio detailed log to see what is failing.

Its still a concern, nothing has changed.

Its the same issue we're discussing on the other thread, and I included a snippet of the Serviio log there: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17682&p=94797#p94797
