Here's what I've found so far on my new Samsung ES7000 Smart TV.
All tests carried out with the same MKV files (multiple BD rips, all h264 encoded with AC3 sound).
- ATV2 connected via HDMI to TV, LAN to NAS for files - all play flawlessly (obviously!
)
- USB disk connected directly into TV - plays fine.
- TV can see XBMC on the ATV as a DLNA source - file type not supported it says
- TV can see XBMC on PC as a DLNA source - file type not supported
- Installed Samsung Allshare on PC - file plays flawlessly
Obviously I can still play everything via ATV2/HDMI connection all fine, but have emailed Samsung support re the DLNA issues just as a query.
The fact the TV can play it via their own software and direct from USB but not via DLNA, has to be an issue on their software.
