Server Version: 1.30.0.6406 (64-bit) Windows
Player Version: Panasonic Viera TH-40GX700Z (Panasonic MIL DLNA CP UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50)
Hi, I know the DLNA Panasonic topic has been here many times (mostly years ago), but I haven’t found a solution to it, and the Plex developers don’t seem to care.
The original DLNA profile (general / Panasonic) does not work with the current Panasonic TVs as it is super outdated (more than 10 years) and it does not reflect Panasonic’s support of HEVC etc. I have a user DLNA profile for my Panasonic TV, but the server keeps transcoding anyway. Moreover, the transcoded content is vertically stretched (lost black bars).
Can anyone explain me what is wrong?
The active DLNA profile:
