Playing RMVB by Converting RMVB to Samsung TV

Q: “I have some files in this format, RMVB, but I can't play those with the Plex App from the Samsung Appstore, it always says: Unsupported Video Codec, there's a way to fix this?, or how to download the right codecs for this TV?” 
Answer: Nope, the TV has a hardware player only, so updates would need to come from Samsung in a firmware update, but that won't happen. 

Your best chance is to use transcoding if your PMS server can handle it. 

Go to preferences > Player and enable "Force Local transcoding" in the app. 

Now try again. 

Note: Only do this for movies with unsupported codecs. 

The next version should recognise the bad codecs and handle this better with auto transcoding.
