LG no playback resolution 1932 x 1088

Hello,
i have some videos (*.mp4) with a resolution of 1932 x 1088.
These are not playing on my LG TV.

If I re-encode such a video to 1920 x 1080, playback works without any problems.
Is it possible to set the profile so that these videos are automatically transcoded? (I don't currently know how to do this.)
Thanks

It doesn't matter that they're in the MP4 container or the resolution. What matters is the video and audio codec within the container. Look at my sig line and see how to find out the contents of your file, then let us know so we can advise you what might be needed.

Thanks for your response.
Serviio has registered the video and i can find it using Intel´s UPnP-Tools.

Do you need any additional infos?

[atc98092]

Great info, thank you. So, the primary video stream is H.264/AVC. Unless you're TV is quite old, it should support that without any issue. The audio is AAC, and that too should work fine on a modern TV. What might be causing the problem is that there's a second video stream in the file and it's using mjpeg video, and I have no idea if an LG can play that codec. You could use a program like Handbrake and remove that second video stream and see if that fixes the problem. Serviio can identify the mjpeg video coded and transcode it to something else, but since you have H.264 video there as well I'd just stick with that one.

If you wanted to try capturing and transcoding the mjpeg video, you'd need to edit the LG profile or create your own custom profile file.

You are right, it "should" work well.
But my TV (2016) LG 55UH615V cannot playback this video.
If i recode it using ffmpeg -i "d:\Video (ex G)\Filme\Serien\Watzmann ermittelt\Watzmann ermittelt-Folge 07_ Familienbande (S01_E07).mp4" -vf "scale=1920:-2" "familienbande_neu.mp4"

With this spec the video can be played without any problems.
Can you help to sole this ?
Thanks so much.

[atc98092]

When you recode it, you're removing that second video stream that I think was the problem. That would explain why the recoded file plays fine.

I don't know why the TV is trying to play the secondary video stream, as it's not marked as the default stream. Yes, you could modify the LG profile to match the mjpeg stream and transcode it. But unless you have a lot of those video files with the problem I think you're better off just recoding any problem files and leave the LG profile alone.

According to your response i removed only the 2nd video stream using:
ffmpeg -i c:\temp\source.mp4 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a -c copy c:\temp\target.mp4
As a result i received:

But nevertheless, my TV want playback this video.
Maybe you have any further ideas ?
I´v about 30-40 files at the moment.
Many thanks for your support.
