Hi all - just joined!
I've just got an LG TV (OLED 48" CX) and Synology NAS (220+). They are both connected to the router via ethernet. I've dumped a lot of movies onto the Synology in various formats - .avi, .mp4, .mkv, etc. I'm not using Plex or any other video streaming apps on the NAS. Media Server and Video Station apps are installed and running. Things are in the correct folders and fully indexed.
The films play all fine on other devices - i.e. streamed to my MacBook or Samsung mobile. The NAS is recognised by the LG as a source and comes up as an input option. However if I try and play any movies (I've tried various formats) I get the error message "This file cannot be recognised. Returning to list".
I've also tried playing using the Synology DS Video app on my S10 as a controller. Again it sees the LV as a device and I can select it, but when I chose a film I get the same error message and the movie won't play.
Also I can't view pictures or play music. Again the folders are showing up but nothing will load. Basically NOTHING on the 220+ will load onto the LG no matter the type or format.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be? I'm eager to watch some movies on my new OLED!
