Hello,

I have problems with playing mkv on SamsungTV UE55NU7102 through dlna.

Video is periodically broken :

I run 3 movies directly through dlna and the same files through emby app(installed via usb with this instruction  : https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/74969-samsung-tizen-smarttv-2015-present-beta-app-install-from-usb/ ) 

Logs steps:

I) Direct dlna

1) mkv with subtitles injected -> broken video

2) mkv with subtitles injected -> broken video

3) mkv with subtitles as external file -> video ok

II) Emby app

1) mkv with subtitles injected -> broken video

2) mkv with subtitles injected -> broken video

3) mkv with subtitles as external file -> video ok

On LG TV, everything is working fine.

Hi, given that the app is direct playing without an any server transcoding there may not be much we can do about this. It looks like an issue in the Samsung video player. Can you try a smaller, lower bitrate file and see how that compares?

Hi @Luke,

Thx for fast response.

I cut movie to smaller pieces and used smaller bitrate , seems that videos are working fine.

In this case i will need to use server transcoding to manage to play unmodified videos ?

@jedu666 in the Emby Samsung app, have you tried lowering the quality setting to have it transcode?
