Problem on Panasonioc TC-P50ST30 with recent avi files

[ComputerPerson]

I have an issue with my Panasonic TC-P50ST30 (Mfg. November 2011)

I have the profile "Panasonic Viera (2011 models)", and Mezzmo configured under Transcoding with "Transcode incompatible media files so they can be played on this device" box checked.

On some recent 2013 avi movies, the Panasonic displays "Cannot read file".

Is there a Device Profile tweak available for this Panasonic model that would solve this problem?

Please post the FFmpeg information for the files that do not play. Right-click on the video in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'.

Change the device profile to 'Panasonic Viera (2011 models, NTSC)' in the Media Devices dialog and try streaming these files again.

That worked perfect.

Thanks again, Paul.

Thanks for posting back & confirming it works better.
