I thought that's the header compression issue which makes most of devices unable to play mkv but I used MediaInfo to check if it has it applied. Looks like it doesn't. I even used MKVmerge to rebuild this particular mkv with no compression at all and it still can't be opened. Here is mediainfo for it:

I am using Serviio 1.0.1 with Panasonic Viera With AVI Support profile (I even replaced it with the one posted on forum). Problem is every mkv is streaming directly to my TV without transcoding. How can I force Serviio to use transcoding for every mkv my TV cannot play?
