    No worries - it'd be interesting to know the results.

    There's no official documentation on .prf files, but feel free to ask me and I'll be happy to reply.

    Quick one:

    How do we pass-through H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and SMPTE VC-1? H264 should be natively supported on Sony BDV, so is the below code unnecessary?

    <video>
    <format id="h264" encode="1" codec="libx264" preferredtranscoded="1">
    <copyts>0</copyts>
    <samequality>0</samequality>
    </format>
    </video>

    It describes codecs supported by the device, so if it's not there, it'll mean that h264 is not supported by the device.

    Can you please post FFmpeg information on the SMPTE VC-1 file and I'll tell you if anything needs modifying to pass it through as well.

    First an H264 M2TS, directly copied from a BD ISO, not transcoding/remuxed by me in anyway. Tested it on a BD disc and played natively without problem.

    Gets transcoded every time I attempted to play it via Mezzmo, chokes every 10-15 secs.

    Here's a VC-1 M2TS, again directly playable and tested on discs. Chokes and times out using Mezzmo.

    Ok, to pass all those through, change the "mpegts" container to the following:

    Sorry to report that changes made no difference, ffmpeg cpu usage was 100% -- even after the removal and re-update of Profiles folder and reinstallation of Mezzmo.

    Disabling transcoding, however, allowed pass-through and the above-mentioned videos played fine over DLNA.
