This one fails transcoding alltogether:

Looks like this might be the solution: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21898#p108609

There is also a problem with subtitles on J series: http://forum.serviio.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21951#p108798

perhaps we have to revert back to Connection: Close (at least for the subs).

Issue #944 was marked as a duplicate of this issue.

Peter the above reflect 3 different problems. #1 The breakup of a-v on Samsung c-d is due to the sam_h entry: <AllowChunkedTransfer forced="true">true</AllowChunkedTransfer> I do not know the purpose of forced="true" but adding this entry to the id=7 c-d profile overrides it and fixes the problem. <AllowChunkedTransfer>true</AllowChunkedTransfer> #2 The breakup of X265 transcoded video or the inability to decode the vcodec is due to the the use of transcoding to mpegts or the failure to limit the vbitrate to 15360. The fix is as described in my Issue #947. #3 Series J subtitles. Nothing to do with the above.

Reverted forcing chunked transfer for http1.0 (Samsung). That fixes the original problem. Hopefully it'll fix Samsung J subs problem too.
