Hi,
I had a 40" Series 6 LED TV which is connected to a NAS with 1.25Tb of video files of various types (.avi, .mkv, etc.).
Unfortunately, we had an accident on Friday and the set was physically damaged.
I bought a new Series 7 43" on Saturday, unplugged the Series 6 and replaced it with the Series 7.
Unfortunatly, hardly any of my video library will play on the new set! Either file not supported or audio format not supported.
I've checked and have the latest firmware... have I bought a €450 paperweight?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

It plays most file extensions via my media laptop with all my films on. DLNA then the TV plays fine with its built in media player. And lots of options for IPTV apps just have a look
If you like your TV you could use remux on your PC to a file/sound format that wprks. Bit of a pain but it's a way. I am sure some program can do this on the fly but I have just got up

It is a bit odd that there are loads of free IPTV play er s on google play yet the only one on the Samsung's apps is a paid for one. I know on the lg there are quite a few free one's.

Can you let me know what that 1 app is called ?
Can't find any app as of yet that is usefull. As in not another app you need to buy a movie or service to watch.

If you go to the source menu on the TV you should be able to see your media hub (or my laptop) you don't need a program it's built in. If you can't see the device you want to stream from then if you are running Windows you need to run media player and look for the sharing setting and turn it on.
Let me know what OS you have and or what you are trying to stream from.
Another suggestion is a program called media browser it has lots of support for different devices.

I do not want to stream a video from a laptop / desktop / phone to the TV.
I would like to be able to play the content I have on an external NAS ( connected to the tv by the external hardrive USB port ).
The video plays but it will not load the sound. I belive it's because it's using DTS

If samsung don't want to support DTS or what ever it's missing just to avoid paying Royalties ( Seems like a realy stupid marketing decision - who will buy your product when they it doesn't have the functions they want ? ) - then at least have the Google Play Store installed so we can install what ever we so ***** well please to "replace" the functions you removed without a logical reason.
Yes. This was a little bit of a rant.
BUT IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE>
