So I downloaded 3 different versions of John Wick 4 at this point… 4k h265 from PsO, the same from CONTiNENTAL and the 1080p from CONTiNENTAL.
I even tried “optimizing” it for TV via Plex…
It just doesn’t play on my TV… On my PC via Plex Web it does play but no matter what I do, it doesn’t on my TV. Everything else plays perfectly fine.
I have the Samsung S95B and I know it doesn’t support DoVi, but other titles that have DoVi do play and just use HDR10 if that’s available.
The 1080p CONTiNENTAL doesn’t have any HDR and doesn’t play either.
What am I missing?
EDIT: I found out that the AC3 audio codec is broken for me with the german language. It shows as AC3 Stereo and doesn’t work. But the AC3 5.1 in english does work flawless…i need to find out how to change the audio codec of the german track for eAC3 or DAC for example.
Is it giving you any kind of on-screen message? What about the logs? Is this Direct Play or Transcoding?
I know some players don’t handle HDR very well, but that’s usually related to bad tonemapping.
Is transcoding enabled on your server? Seems like your TV does not support some codec, either the video or audio codec.
yes transcoding is enabled and working perfectly fine on all the other movies / shows. It’s hardware decoding using the GTX1660 i installed in that server.
hardware transcoding the movie down to 1080p to view on my tablet for example runs buttery smooth…
i compared it to my copy of John Wick 3… same video & audio codec… AC3 for audio h256 for video
