Music playback issues on LG TV using LG TV Plus app

[BuffetSlayer]

Hi folks.

I have an LG smart tv and have successfully connected my samsung galaxy s7 phone via lg's TV plus app. It will happily stream content from my phone via wifi direct, including music with great sound quality.

However, with my music it will only recognise 111 tracks but I have over 350 on my phone.

Looking at it more carefully the system is omitting a lot of paid for content from my Google Play and iTunes accounts. In fact it seems to only recognise older mp3 files that I have ripped from my CD's even though all of my music is listed in "my files" section on my phone.

I can screen cast my google play music app which contains all of my music tracks but the sound quality is terrible and very choppy.

Anyone know why two thirds of my music has been omitted in the dedicated LG TV Plus app and how I can fix it?

Thanks for reading.

I think you might find it has a lot to do with the way the Galaxy s7 stores music content. It was something i noticed about a year ago when i got the s7. No big deal for me because i don't stream much from phone to tv.
I do remember a workround i read on the net but can't find it now because i didn't bookmark it. As i remember, the s7 has a similar problem with some video as well. It dosn't just apply to the s7 either, all Samsung phones seem to have this issue.
