I can believe I spent $3k on a 2015 4k tv and that it will not be upgradable to v3!!! If it is true, it is the last time I ever buy a LG tv!!

Hi Irwell,

i got 3D Full HD working on SmartShare in every container like MP4, MKV and MTS but not

over DLNA, i read in the specs that by design 4k is not available over DLNA. I have external HDD

connected to USB 3.0 port.

 

Anyway i got it working after many try between compatibility and image quality.

I can say that SmartShare is unable to play SBS 3840 x 1080 becouse 

the WIDTH (3840) is initial step to determinate if the resolution is 4K. And if it is

2160 height is expetced. I really don't know why. I tried Many othere video with

mixed resolution more close to 4k like 3840 x 2000 and fail to play.

 

So to get Full HD SBS i upscaled 3840x1080 to 3840x2160 in SBS to get 4K full resolution,

and with passive 3D i got full resolution per eye.

 

I success in some case to put two videos OU (Top Bottom) instead SBS

to get 1920x2160 instead 3840x1080 but nevere tried over DLNA.

 

Hope to be in help,

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

I am very interested in your result. I am trying to achieve the same thing than you I think: Play full resolution (full hd) 3D files on my Lg 4k tv. And from my NAS as a bonus!

So you said that 4k isn't supported at all by DLNA? Good to know. I thought that DLNA was just "serving" the file... Because yes I have some 4k videos that play well from a USB connected HD but not from my NAS. It is sad that WebOs cannot connect to a SMB shared folder.

As for the 3D. What is your process? What software(s) are you using?

Is your source a bluray 3D?

In my research on playing full resolution 3d, I also found some discussion about "3D Frame Sequential" format (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170863). The sample clip posted there play perfectly on my tv. Best of all, the tv detect that it is 3D content and switch automatically!

But this forum is really really technical and I didn't understand yet how to create that kind of mp4 from a bluray. I also read somewhere else that using 3D Frame Sequential format is bad because the video encoding is trying to compress between the right and left eye images and that cause a lots of compression artifacts.

If only WebOs could be able to play MVC MKV files...
