[mythtv-users] Which "smart" TVs work with the mythtv UPNP server?

[Dimitar Gospodinov]

All it shows is the MythTV machine on the network. When I try to connect to it, it says "Request can not be completed" and nothing else.
Searching on Internet shows that others have run into this problem.
There is also an application for Samsung smart TVs that connects to MythTV - http://sourceforge.net/p/smartmythtv/wiki/Home/

      Drats :(.  

      

      Dimitar, can you do a little experiment?  Well, it's little if you
      already have the Video feature of mythtv setup.  Otherwise if
      anyone else has such a setup I am sure there are plenty of people
      here who would like to hear about it.

      

      What I am wondering is if the Samsungs are having a problem with
      the mythtv NuppelVideo format (this is what I am thinking) or if
      there is a UPNP compatibility issue.  I have had such issues with
      my Android devices when accessing mythtv Recording.  My Android
      devices can access and play what I believe are mpeg2 Videos served
      up by the mythtv UPNP server.  But some Android devices can not
      play back the mythtv Nuppelvideo Recordings.

      

      Just to clear things up, when I say Videos I am talking about a
      random collection of media I am putting into the mythtv Video
      "space" from sources like camcorders.  And when I say Recordings I
      am talking about ATSC signals that mythtv has recorded off the
      air.

      

      -thanks

        I have Samsung UN50ES6580. It does see my MythTV machine but
        when I try to display content (videos or pictures) it gives an
        error message.
