DLNA fail to play some MKV on SmsungTV's

Server Version#: 1.15.2.793
Player Version#:

Firs time post so correct if wrong place/format :slight_smile:
Was working fine for couple months , suddenly(2 weeks now) stopped playing some .mkv , even .avi
Win8.1 VM, 8Gb RAM, 8core AMD, was working on v1.14.1.5488, stopped, updated to latest-no luck, uninstalled/reinstalled, current-Version 1.15.2.793-still no luck.
All TV sets(x4) - Samsung, different models
Most bizarre!
Isn’t it suppose to be: “can’t play as is - transcode” ?

Transcoding take no place.
Error returned by device(TV) differ per device: unsupported file format, check network connection(LAN, Ethernet, all static IP’s)
Same time playing on PC’s - no issues, transcoding.
Sound s like profile issue(all devices get: DEBUG - Device at 192.168.1.xx will use Samsung SmartTV profile), but i change nothing, so why is that?

Let me know if more detail needed.
Thanks in advance.
