Title: DLNA video settings for LG TV (47LM4600)
Post by: connersw on October 11, 2013, 12:04:00 pm: I've been chasing my tail the last week trying to get 1080 video on my LG TV (Model 47LM4600-UC). Server is running on i7 870 2.93 GHz w/ 8GB RAM. TV is connected to the network via a Netgear WNCE2001. I am the only network on the channel, and I can speed test 25 Mbps on my phone right next to the TV. I believe the TV is limited to 20 Mbps, but I do not think speed is the issue.

MPEG2-TS in all settings gives me an Invalid File error. I have tried enabling mimetype override with DLNA override set to MPEG_PS, MPEG_PS_NTSC, MPEG_PS_PAL, MPEG_TS_SD_NA, and H.264/AVC to trick it, but nothing works.

H264-TS "works," in that the videos play, but many .avi and .mkv files show corrupted, and all videos stop playing after ~30-seconds. I would think that I am not limited by processing power or bandwidth, but maybe I am?

MPEG-TS DVD PAL and DVD NTSC all work, but limit picture quality. The best option is actually MPEG-TS PAL high bandwidth (even though I'm in the US), but it still limits me to 720.

Any suggestions on what I should try next? Or an in order TS guide (been a lot of trial and error so far)? Is it possible to add a MPEG-TS PAL very high bandwidth option to take it to 1080?

Is there a trick to getting MPEG2-TS to work? Or is it possible to add a MPEG-TS PAL very high bandwidth option?

I wish Bob or someone would chime in here...

While I would agree the top task in the task manager is jriver.. This unit also has no AV or even security essentials enabled as it is only a media center (no browsing ect on it)
