Some mkv files play video and some others don't
Hi there,
I am having problems when streaming mkv files to my media player. Some mkv files play normally (no transcoding done) and some play sound but no video. I guess those that won't play are not supported by my media player and due to the device profile selected no transcoding happens. I am using a "bright-view cinematube" device profile, as proposed by Mezzmo when connecting, because my media player (OKI Soundbar 1G) is not supported. This is the FFmpeg information for two examples:
This first file doesn't play video (audio OK):

Is there anyway I can fix this using a specific device profile, forcing transcoding for that particular file or so?
Thanks a lot.
Antonio.
