I'm runnign Serviio on Solaris 11 (for ZFS crypto). It's working like a
charm for months with my Samsung TV. Had to build a current ffmpeg by
hand to get it working properly, though.

Did you set a profile appropriate to your viewing device? If I access my
Serviio server from my TV with the default settings, some video codecs
don't work at all and with many of those that do it won't let me seek.
But with the right profile settings, Serviio will transcode the stuff my
TV doesn't like into something more compatible.
