Serviio not transcoding (and scaling) 4K (UHD) videos

Hello, when I try to reproduce a 4K video on my Samsung D series TV I got the unsupported resolution message. The profiles.xml file has not been altered and I just installed version 1.5.2. If I correctly remember there was something in that file that indicated the maximum resolution, but now I can't find anything in the Samsung section. The maximum video resolution for the D series (and below, maybe until H series) is 1920x1080.

you can transcode to maxHeight (in your case 1080), but you'd have to match all file of that type.
post ffmpeg -i

I added maxHeight="1080" to all video transcoding entries of the Samsung B, A, H, E/F and C/D Series and the video has been transcoded. The only problem is that my PC is not fast enough and it stops every few seconds to buffer. Is it possible to start ffmpeg with high CPU priority to try to avoid this?

Even H series is 1080. You have to get into the HU, JU, JS series for UHD. I may have forgotten a model, but I believe all 4K sets have two letters in the model name.
