I really like Mezzmo. I really enjoyed the first days of my trial period as I could easily see that Mezzmo works much better than Samsung PC Share Manager on my Samsung C TV. I really love the transcoding functionality. The only drawback is that the profile for Samsung C TV seems not to be very well tuned to the real capabilities of the TV. For example I noticed that some MKV files are unnecessarily transcoded. I could live with this, but unfortunately if the file is a movie in high resolution, the transcoding is not fast enough to let the movie play. As a result the movie becomes unplayable. Of course it is played well without transcoding from a HD or via PC Share Manager. Is it possible to somehow modify the profile?

This is the file which is unnecessarily transcoded:

While this one (also MKV in hi-res) is played well and transcoding is not triggered:

1. Is there any chance to upgrade the profile?
2. Maybe you have the detailed documentation for .prf files available so the users could try to upgrade the profiles themselves and then send it back to you?
