PLEASE HELP!! NOT SUPPORTED FILE FORMAT on UN55D8000
Really need help and frustrated to no end trying to figure out why I cannot play anything on my UN55D8000 using Serviio from
my desktop PC running windows 7 64 Bit. I can send files to the TV, and for now I'm just trying to play music (MP3 files). But
every time I get the same error on the TV: NOT SUPPORTED FILE FORMAT !!! The screen says "Loading", then displays the song
title and some file info, then the big white box with the famous words NOT SUPPORTED FILE FORMAT pops up!
Here's what I know and tried:
- Allshare is setup on the TV, PC is "ALLOWED" to access TV
- the TV is "Wired" using CAT-6 to the local LAN (Network Status shows the IP address and connected to the LAN)
- the PC is on the same LAN and can see the TV in the network
- Serviio (V 1.4.1.2) is running on the PC, can see the TV, and is GREEN
- The TV will play the same files if I connect a USB hard drive with the files to the TV
- The TV has the latest updates (current firmware is T-GAP8AKUC-1029.0) as far as I know
- Also tried using the Allshare app from the PC but it give me the same error message: NOT SUPPORTED FILE FORMAT
- I have a laptop running Windows 8, connected via Wireless on the LAN, and CAN PLAY the same files on the TV using Allshare.
The laptop also shows up on "SOURCE" list of the TV two times - one as NETWORK and the other as the computer name
- Tried uninstalling Serviio and reinstalling, but still no luck. Even tried using Serviio v1.3.1, but no luck either.
Please, if anyone knows what's going on here, please help. I'm finished wasting time trying to figure out why it's not working.
Thanks in advance!
