No HEVC x265 Support over DLNA LG

[jeffreybc55]

Hi everyone....took me 4 years to realize that my 4K LG tv does not support x265 over DLNA (Only USB).... So my question is to other tv owners is...does your TV support this? I want a new TV now because of this, but want to make sure that it is supported.

Thanks!

I solved this problem by buying Rokus.... I, however, haven't checked my 2017 model LG TV to see if it has built-in h.265 support. I will post back when I test it.

So I just verified. h.265 Main 10 is transcoded, not played natively in the 20017 model TVs with up-to-date firmware.

The best way to test this is to turn off transcoding and then stream the file. Mezzmo will list and stream the file to your TV without any changes. If you TV plays the file, then it supports playing it. Let us know if that is the case and we can create a device profile to match the capabilities of your TV.

To turn off transcoding for your TV, go to the Media Devices dialog and edit your TV. On the Device Settings dialog, go to the Transcoding tab and uncheck the transcoding checkbox. Click OK to save your changes. Restart your Mezzmo server and tray streaming now. After your testing, turn transcoding back on.

Manually turning transcoding off and restarting the services worked. It played the h.265 Main 10 4k video natively.

OK - that's good news. Right-click on the video in Mezzmo and click 'Get FFmpeg Information'. Email this information to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com and we'll provide an updated device profile.
