Transcode - Vizio - Costar

I tried to setup a profile to transcode files like this since the Costar will not support AC3:

Here is the profile I used:

I added this to the bottom of profiles.xml right before the closing tag and then assigned it to my costar after restarting services:

  Code:

<Profile id="150" name="Vizio Costar" extendsProfileId="1">
        <Transcoding>
        <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="mp3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
        <Matches container="matroska" />
        </Video>
        </Transcoding>
   </Profile>

When I do this, it will just sit there the media player and just hang, not sure what I am doing wrong? I am using GTVBox to connect:

and the log says this:

OK I figured it out thanks with the help of the developer of GTVBox.

There is an option when creating a bookmark in GTVBox to the servillo server to use "Live Streaming Mode", I had left it unchecked, and forgot about it, as soon as I checked it all the videos work great.

So turned out had nothing to do with Servillo itself.

I copied/edited your profile, but when I play a MPEG2 file with AC3 audio the video starts with audio, plays for 3-5 seconds, then kicks me out of the video. I'm using GTVBox on the Costar. I can post a log file later if needed. Any ideas why?

This is my first time messing with profiles.

  Code:

<Profile id="150" name="Vizio Costar" extendsProfileId="1">
        <Transcoding>
        <Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetACodec="mp3" aBitrate="320" forceInheritance="true">
        <Matches container="matroska" aCodec="ac3"/>
        <Matches container="mpeg" aCodec="ac3"/>
        <Matches container="mpegts" aCodec="ac3"/>
        <Matches container="mpegvideo" aCodec="ac3"/>
        <Matches container="mpeg2video" aCodec="ac3"/>
        </Video>
        </Transcoding>
   </Profile>
