Titel: DS Video crashing on Samsung TV UE32
Bericht door: Lore1968 op 18 januari 2019, 16:21:25
Hi all,
sorry for writing in English as I can understand Dutch but my writing skills are still not so good :).
I have an issue with DS Video and my smaller Samsung tv 32" UE serie: when I start DS video, the program crashes immediately and the tv restarts. Funny thing is that on my new Samsung 65" it works great...
I did try to update firmware, uninstall and reinstall, ethernet or wifi..but no luck.
I have read on this forum about other similar issues, but I cannot even start the app as it crashes immediatley and reboot the tv  :evil:

Any other suggestion or alternative solution to play all my video from the Nas ?

Many thanks in advance and fijn weekend
Lorenzo

Lorenzo, the embedded apps on many TV are not always very good in terms of stability etc.
I see 2 alternatives

-> Install PLEX on your NAS and  try the "Plex" app on the Samsung, which in general is not too bad. It has a very nice interface, video-library etc.

-> Get an external Mediaplayer (eg. ShieldTV) and then your experience will be likely 100% solid (and much faster)

-> Connect a Google Chromecast dongle on your TV, this works with "Plex" for example to so you can stream content straight to the Chromecast, so no "app" required on the TV itself.
