The second option would be to get a set top device to stream the media and output to your TV. There are programs to help with automating the renaming so it actually doesn't take that long and isn't as tedious as it sounds. See if Plex can be run on your TV, in which case install the Plex server on your Unraid server and the client app on your TV, but like it or not you're going to have to rename stuff to fit in with convention. If it can't, then as I see it you have two choices. If it can then all well and good and you're sorted.Ģ.

Figure out if your TV can play media from a network share and if it can, then try it and see if it can cope with the formats that you have. The Plex server that is installed on the Unraid box will transcode (convert) the media in real time (on the fly) to a suitable format for your television to cope with.Īt the moment this is what you need to do to proceed.ġ. I can only really offer advice, TVs tend not to be able to decode as wide a range of video and audio codecs as HTPCs or indeed Android devices, which is one of the reasons Plex has been so popular on Smart TVs. (If the codecs are 'readable' by your TV)Īs this isn't really an Unraid support issue it's difficult to help, it's more of a LG support issue. Your Unraid machine is just a network server, it's all going to boil down to whether your TV can access the media via a network share or not and whether it can play the media it finds there.
