    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    I missed the change container - I can try that I guess to see if it works. The MP4s are crappy downloads - MPEG4 and AAC mp4a audio. Sooner I can get real DVDs and rip them the better.

    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    Yes they play. Bit long winded to get there as per above.

    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    First - codecs: Second, I disagree about the method, it's a lot easier than using the TV as the controlling device - we sit with our laptops with us, so all we have to do is find the file and play it. Either of us can do it easily. To do it via the TV we would have to navigate with the...

    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    Will have to show the VLC info when I get home as it's not installed on the server but this is what I see for anything but MKV; and this is what I see for MKVs: As you can see the TV is an LG UJ635V Software used is LG's Smart Share.

    Disney Holiday Florida

    Disney World ;) Universal is much better for older kids (and adults...) but the Disney parks are pretty cool too. As others have said - book separately. Don't book an allocated on arrival villa - it will likely be in the middle of nowhere. July will be hot and sticky and expensive for flights...

    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    Hi All, thank you - perhaps I've not been clear. I am trying to stream the files to the TV, there's no USB stick involved etc. For MP3, WAV files etc. all I need to do is right click on them, select "Play to" and then select the TV. For MKV files there is no option for this when right-clicking...

    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    Not sure - those are compression codecs? It's whatever MakeMKV produces when ripping a DVD (MPEG2?)- there is no additional conversion carried out. But it's not an issue where I try and play and it fails - it won't let me even try to play them. The menu option isn't available when right-clicking...

    LG Smart Share and MKV?

    Hi All, She who must be obeyed bullied me into getting a smart TV for Christmas. We ended up with an LG. I can now right-click on any media file and play to the TV, except MKV files. Apparently the TV is capable of playing MKVs so was wondering if anyone could give any tips on getting it going...

    Netgear ProSafe FSM7250RS

    Only had to use it once but they sent a replacement next day and was 2 versions newer than the one it was to replace. So whilst a small example, 100% satisfied with their customer service. But still don't like them in a business environment.

    Name the first car you ever owned and the year

    Always wanted to put the engine from one in my Allegro. Never did manage it though, only an MG 1.3 with gasflowed head. Still, bit of a step up from an athsmatic 1l!

    Netgear ProSafe FSM7250RS

    As much as I hate netgear in a business environment (still trying to eradicate the last few), for home use a gigabit one should be fine.

    Buying a new build...

    The only insulation issue we have with our 1969 built house is we still need to replace some windows. The originals are long gone, but the replacements are life expired. The house is warm, dry and the heating bill (modern warm air) is very cheap to run (when we were with GB Energy they queried...
