Invalid file form - avi with mpeg4 divx 4

Hello,
my LG TV (LG OLED55B46LA) is reporting an error Invalid file form.
I attached files in the ZIP.

I did a nasty thing in the transcoding profile settings and it works for now, but I'd be happy if we could find a better solution together
I set it to transcode all files. I didn't want to deal with what formats each file has.

  Code:
      <Transcoding>
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="ac3">
               <Matches container="*" />
            <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="dca" />
         </Video>
         <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3" >
            <Matches container="flv" />
               <Matches container="asf" vCodec="wmv2"/>
               <Matches container="rm" />
               <Matches container="wtv" />
         </Video>
      </Transcoding>

Dobře, tak to nepomohlo a spousta videí není možné přehrát.

Prosím o navržený postup, co mám vyzkoušet, co mám zjistit o souboru, o televizi atd.

Děkuji.

I don't know enough about the DIVX codec, so I can't say for certain what tag might capture it. Serviio currently recognizes the following video codecs: mpeg2video, mpeg1video, wmv2, mpeg4, msmpeg4, h263, h264, h265, vc1, mjpeg, flv, vp6, vp8, vp9, theora, dvvideo, rv, svq1, svq3, cinepak.

Instead of transcoding absolutely everything like you are currently doing, you could slim it down to just match the MPEG4 video and see if that captures the necessary unplayable files.
