First, you may be having network issues. HD requires a significantly higher bitrate. My DVD rips stream at around 3-4 Mbps, while HD can exceed 30 Mbps. Maybe try using a different channel on your wireless router setting. There might be interference causing connection issues.
Next, there could be an issue with the codecs used in your HD files. Without seeing the media information, we can only guess. Post the information of one of the videos that won't play. You can use ffmpeg to get the information. Unless you copy the ffmpeg.exe file into your video directory you'll need to enter the full path to ffmpeg and the video file. Without specifying the path, the command is ffmpeg -i file_name. Copy the results here.
Finally, Samsung doesn't have a great DLNA application. I have issues sometimes with my JU series, particularly when one video ends and the next is supposed to start. I generally use my Sony BD player or Roku instead of the app in the TV. Just works better overall.
First of all: THANK YOU
network issues:
that was my first thought, i can't understand if servio uses the bandwitch of internet connection OR the bandwitch of internal dlna.
If Servio uses the internet connection (that is illogical in my opinion, but is a guess) than we simply have the solution; my internet connection is a 8MB (880 kbit/s) and the bitrate of fullhd files is generally higher.
But i think servio uses the internal net.
My Asus wireless key,
my samsung wireless key and
my router.
Then, the bigger part of my 720p files are PLAYED correctly.
1080p files are READ correctly. But the result is .."scattoso" in italian...i don't know how to say it in english
EDIT (ok Scattoso is a video that is played with many pauses, the video loads, then restarts, again and again..)
In the end I am almost sure is a wireless / bitrate issue but i don't know how to fix it.
My asus key is 300mb/s
My samsung Key is...i don't know but i think the same
My router ii think is a good router (fastweb pirelli )
Just tell me what you need as files and i will do because i gotta solve this problem.
it changes my hardware configuration.
If i fix it i can buy internal HDDs, ans use Servio.
if i can't i have to buy external HDDs directly plugged into the tv.
