Had similar problems with some AVI files that are in Divx form.

My Sony & Panasonic TV's handle virtually everything except Divx - giving the error you've got.

Mezzmo won't transcode as AVI files are supported but there's no check to see if the file is Xvid or Divx.

My solution was to edit the .prf file (in ProgramData/Conceiva/Mezzmo/DeviceProfiles) changing the line:-

<format id="mpeg4">
to
<format id="mpeg4" codectag="XVID">

This will be following the lines

<avcontainer id="asf" name="asf" mimetype="video/x-ms-asf" encode="0" supportschunked="0" minlevel="40" level="41">
<video>
<format id="wmv3">
<maxframerate>30</maxframerate>
</format>

in your .prf file (LGTV2013.prf)

Having edited it the stop & restart the media server.

The result should be that Divx encoded files will be transcoded.

Great advice, TimC. Makes sense to try this.

e.lit: If that does not help, then email us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com and we'll provide a tweaked device profile to try.
