MKV/AVCHD files recognized as MPEG2 by TV first time, hence no video; second time is OK

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Restart the PS3 media server or use a new MKV file (not seen before after 
the server start)
2. Access the mkv file from the Sony 52EX700 TV.
3. It's seen on the TV as TsMuxer/MPEG2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to see the full movie, only the sound is heard, no picture.
If I stop the movie, re-read the directory from the TV, then the same file is 
seen as TsMuxer/AVC and it runs perfectly fine.
In case I re-start the PS3 server, the problem is seen again, but if I restart 
the TV, the problem is not seen. Hence I think the issue is at the PS3 server 
side.

Looks like the server reports a wrong format in some cases.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.20.412 (and the previous release .419 worked the same way)

If you are transcoding a media file, which engine are you using (mencoder, 
avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer?)

TsMuxer

If the media file is in error (or does not play flawlessly), what are the codec 
informations of this file (you can use following program: 
mediainfo.sourceforge.net) ?

I have a very similar problem with BluRay rips .m2ts files.  At first they all 
show up as mpeg2.  I have discovered that the movies that are actually in an 
H264 container will show up as AVC then next time I view the file and then they 
play just fine.  But the movies that are VC1 or VL1 (something like that) 
remain as mpeg2 and wont buffer to play.  The AVC movies play perfectly with no 
required transcoding.  It seems they are not quite being recognized correctly.
