I am currently evaluating DLNA software for purchase. Why can't Mezzmo stream an mkv file with h264 encoding to the S390 without transcoding? It's a complete waste of disk space and CPU cycles to transcode files that don't need transcoding. I would like to re-post my original question. If I disable transcoding, the file will not stream successfully. This test shows that Mezzmo can play the file but it has to transcode the file to successfully stream without errors. I checked the transcoding output directory and found a large video file there I opened the video file with VLC media player and it was the same file I was trying to stream. If I select the 'Sony BDP (NTSC)' device profile and enable transcoding, the file does play but it appears that the file is being transcoded. I disagree because the data that I collected proves otherwise. Your post above suggests that you believe the problem is caused by the fact that the S390 can't play mkv files and there is no problem with Mezzmo. In testing Serviio, I specifically disabled all transcoding before streaming the file.
#Serviio mkv install#
Note that the default install of Twonky is not capable of transcoding so it has to be streaming the file natively. Furthermore, I successfully played the same media file using 2 different media servers: Twonky and Serviio. The specifications for this device clearly state that it is capable of playing video in this format - you can look it up on the Sony web site if you don't believe me. I'm not sure why you don't believe me but the Sony S390 is capable of playing an mkv file with h264 video encoding.

The same mkv files play just fine with no transcoding in a competing DLNA server: Serviio.
As stated in my previous post above, if I disable transcoding in Mezzmo, the BDP S390 is unable to play the mkv file.
