Issues playing HEVC/x254 videos on my Samsung Smart TV
“Hey guys, I’m really enjoying my Samsung Smart TV and the great quality of playing movies/videos I throw at it. However, I’m having issues when playing HEVC/x254 videos on it. I get an error that the file is not supported. Please help if somebody knows how to go through this! Thanks for any help.”
Samsung has some limitations on which containers/codecs it supports. To be able to play HEVC files on your TV, please make sure your model supports HEVC (H.265). Otherwise, you will need to transcode the H265 files into a container your Samsung TV can play, such as H.264 MP4. Check a step-by-step guide on how to convert HEVC/H.265 files for playing on a Samsung TV.
