TransCoding UN40FH6030

Okay guys I've been reading around and trying to fix this myself but I seem to fix something and break something else. I have a Samsung UN40FH6030 which I stream videos to. When I use the Samsung E/F profile and try to play Mkv videos it says file not supported, same with FLAC audio. So I changed to the DirecTV profile as I read would make everything work. Well it works but all videos say 13:50:22 or something like that, but there are also no options for audio, subtitles, or time skip and since it's anime I'm trying to watch it doesn't quite work. So I thought, I'll edit it. I went into profiles.xml with Notepad++ and overwrote the transcode section of Samsung with the one from DirecTV. Now some videos work some dont, it actually seems kinda random and the ones who don't work usually make the tv crash. Could someone give me a good custom profile to transcode everything and have the subtitles+controls?

bump?

samsung support external srt subtitles sent from serviio, you need to enable only FIRST option: Enable subtitles, and disable next two lines in console.
use E/F profile, restart and try

(and don't forget to enable subtitles on tv)

Bigger problems now, it seems I've gotten closer to perfect transcoding. The DTV and E/f profiles don't work nor does the trick I did. Now I have to use the B profile and when looking through media info any mkv with avc at 5.2 or higher doesn't work.

point is to disable transcoding for files that samsung support natively without transcoding....
download again installation files and take profile from there, or use mine (slightly modified original 1.4 E/F profile), i post it below:

I'll be able to try this later today, before that what exactly does this change, it looks pretty much the same. And turning transcoding off still produces format not supported.

Okay here's what's happening now. All the videos load *yay!* But files with High, lv 5.1+ don't have subtitle, audio, or time search options and read as something like 534 hours long. Also one file says May not play properly 2-3 times then plays for a minute stops and loads and continues that.

EDIT- Forgot to mention I'm using the above posted code.

[zip]

It's because it transcodes files like that

  Code:

<Matches container="*" vCodec="h264" profile="high" levelGreaterThan="4.2" />


Normally such a file is not playable by the TV, but try to turn off transcoding in the console and play the file again.

Turning it off has the same results as with it on.

Any more suggestions or profiles? Why do h264 high mkvs at 4.1 or under work but 4.2 and over not work? I turned the transcoding off and they do the same thing as when it's on. I really wanna be able to watch my videos with the ability to time search, not wait for continuous loading and have the ability to change subtitles and audio like the 4.1 files.

Still not resolved.

It's the limitation of the TV, they only support certain files.
