Simple Requirement: want to come back from holidays, put all my Samsung S7 mobile phone recorded videos into a folder and have my newish Samsung smart tv play videos one after the other (continuously) via plex on the TV.
Finding it impossible getting this simple requirement to work:
Issue 1: when I go to play video recorded from the S7 native camera app (using QHD 2560*1440 resolution, unsure if other resolutions work better) I get the following error "unsupported video resolution. Media might be corrupt or the mediatype is not supported". HOWEVER if I force the video to transcode it plays back fine. However it's a hassle having to instruct each individual video to transcode one at a time (short family videos).
Issue 2: when I add family video folder to plex as "home video" library type, and then traverse to the specific subdirectory I'll like to continuously play videos it doesn't work i.e. I hit the "play" button on screen then enter (PLAY ALL), and it doesn't respond. Same for SHUFFLE ALL button. Each video needs to be played individually (and set to play via transcode as above).
Painful. Plexpass subscriber seeking help please!
