LG BD570 Issues

[comporder1]

First let me say that I am loving Mezzmo so far. I have only been using it for a couple of months. It is working great on most of the DLNA clients that I have (about 6). However, I am having issues with it working properly with my LG BD570. Most of my video collection is uncompressed direct rip MKV's. The problem is that the BD570 will play mkv's but is very picky on the format. It will only play h264 mkv containers and need to have b frames of 4 and core audio. I have looked into the xml profile for the LG bluray and it appears that any h264 mkv is getting passed causing issues (chopping, jumping, etc.) with more than half of my collection. Any VC1 mkv is getting transcoded, but will lock up the bd570 (hard reset required). I've attached the transcode log of one such file. Below is the ffmpeg info for that file:

What I would like to do is to first get the default transcode profile right, then force all mkv's to get transcoded. I am comfortable working with the xml file, but do not know what tags are available to use.

Thanks for the help to get this going!
