Re: Media Player/Application on Samsung Smart TV Shield just works and direct plays everything, plus allows for proper playback of Atmos/TrueHD/etc and lossless music.and the AI upscaling is significantly better than the TVs built in upscaling.How can I connect a universal media server to my Smart TV? Other apps like youtube and netflix were fine on the TV though.Įnd of the day I just CBF with all the issues and hassle. Plex is about as trash as the ps5 version, slightly less bad but anything HDR doesn't work, anything particularly high bitrate 4k lags, it doesn't support all lossless surround formats etc. I have heard the LG TVs have decent built in apps. Lossless audio simply doesn't work, I could only get surround by forcing bitstream which compresses. It would also sometimes just crash after 5-10min. There seems to be a bitrate limit, despite being on gigabit ethernet it transcoded everything to lower bitrate 1080p, forcing it higher caused extreme lag or crashes.
I'm not sure exactly what formats are not supported or whatever to cause this, but virtually all of my 4k content transcoded and most (if not all) were literally unplayable, and even 1080p was hit and miss.
