Samsung MU8009 Profile

Post by lam000 »

Hello,

I am kind of new to all this sort, I have the Samsung MU8009 4k TV and wanted to create a profile which is transcoding the movies i am playing to 4k resolution and forcing a 16:9 ration.
If this isnt possible how can i at least force him to play movies which are originally on 4k to play them on 4k and when there is a movie e.g. 1080p which isnt in 16:9, to force it to stretch it to 16:9.
My Samsung has the Samsung-NotCD.conf as profile I think

Sorry I am new to all this profile things, and it seems like changing things in the transcoding tab on the gui isnt changing anything, because i have set the resolution there to 3840:2160 but it is still displaying in
1920:808 thats why i want at least the 16:9 stretch

Regards

Hello,

Reading the pink link in my signature below and your DefaultRenderer.conf file should be a good start ;)
Using an already existing renderer configuration file as the "Samsung 9 series" and tweak it to your need will make the things much more easy.
# The maximum width and height supported by the renderer. 0 means unlimited.
# Both must be 0, or both must be higher than 0.
# Defaults: 1920 and 1080
MaxVideoWidth =
MaxVideoHeight =

# Whether to transcode H.264 video if it exceeds level 4.1
# Default: true
H264Level41Limited =
# Overrides the scale and pad part of FFmpeg VideoFilter options in UMS for this
# renderer. It leaves all internal VideoFilter setting for subtitles untouched.
# Do not use -vf in this option, and add only VideoFilter parameters (filters)
# separated by commas. Commas inside the filters are taken as a break so they
# must have a prefix.
# Example: OverrideFFmpegVideoFilter = pad=max(iw\\,ih*16/9)
# Default: ""
OverrideFFmpegVideoFilter =
# If this is true, it will always output video at 16/9 aspect ratio to the renderer,
# meaning that all transcoded videos with different aspect ratios will have black
# bars added to the edges to make them 16/9. It doesn't work with 3D SBS video.
# If some videos on your renderer looked either stretched or squashed, enabling
# this setting may fix that.
# Default: false
KeepAspectRatio =

# This option adds black borders to the transcoded video to prevent the renderer
# from displaying an incorrect aspect ratio.
# If this is true, it will always output transcoded video at 16/9 aspect ratio to
# the renderer, meaning that all transcoded videos with different aspect ratios
# will have black bars added to the edges to make them 16/9.
# If some transcoded videos on your renderer looked either stretched or squashed,
# enabling this setting may fix that, excepted for the 3D SBS videos.
# Default: false
KeepAspectRatioTranscoding =
# Which video bit depths are supported.
# Example: "8,10,12"
# Default: "8"
SupportedVideoBitDepths =

Hi,
I have tried the options as you metnioned, and as you said they get black bars, so i wanted to know if there is an stretch option, like in VLC player where you go to video --> apsect ratio --> 16:9
if i can stretch it like in the vlc media player

Hello,

With this option you can stretch as you like, but you'll need to learn the FFmpeg options:

Code: Select all

OverrideFFmpegVideoFilter = 
Because it'll depend on your renderer and on your videos resolution. Conditional filters can be done as well depending on the video resolution.
Maybe having a look at this user work could help you: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9311
