Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
I can test with a small sample.
But this is the second one I test, both work via USB HDD, but not DLNA

Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
Yes as I anticipated the container is MKV not MP4. Please rename the video file to .mkv and test it again. The different extension of the media file and media format information send by UMS can confuse the TV.

Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
Ahead of you tried it, same thing. Same error
Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
Than my statement that "this media format is not supported via DLNA but is supported from HDD which is the common problem" is valid. Can you make a clean install of the UMS version https://www.dropbox.com/s/0bctrvtgnxogg ... p.exe?dl=0 I provided and test it?

Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
Tried with that Beta Build and a new file that works directly via HDD.

Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
You should try to play those videos from the TRANSCODE folder choosing the "No transcoding" option. If it play on TV than the .conf should be updated otherwise you are out of luck and the media format (either video or audio) is not supported by the TV and the media must be transcoded.

Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
Well bad news, The Dolby Vision video plays with NO TRANSCODE, but doesn't play "normally". What's the diference between playing one or the other?
Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
Because the video is forced to be transcoded due to setting in the .conf. The video format is h265 but for MPEGTS this format is missing in the .conf. When you update setting for it to it should work.
Code: Select all
f:mpegts v:h264|mpeg2|h265 a:aac-lc|he-aac|ac3|dts|eac3 m:video/mpeg

Re: Playback 4K in LG TV
It could be add in the way you did but better would be only add to the video codecs. But there is missing which is still needed to prevent transcoding for 4K videos. What all that setting means is commented in the DefaultRenderer.conf.
Code: Select all
|h265
Code: Select all
MaxVideoWidth = 3840
MaxVideoHeight = 2160
