On serviio console, do you have "Samsung B" profile selected ?
All non-supported audio format should be transcoded to LPCM (supported by this TV model, you can also change to mp3 format but it will be compressed).

Yes Samsung B profile is selected.
When I tried to play a m4a file, the TV says "Media type is not supported."

I've made a try with the debu mode enabled.
Nothing special is displayed in the log.

It's not with DEBUG enabled. Make sure to restart the service (or PC)

Ok Sorry I am back with my question.
I will try to use the debug mode but I have a general question.
In my samsung manual it is said that the TV will take care only of file with the .mp3 extension.
So If I have only m4a file , do I have to change the extension for all of them or using transcoding will allow to pass this problem ?

transcoding would help, no need to rename anything

As I am using Serviio on my NAS synology I 've disable Transcoding. is there a way to use transcoding only for audio?
