[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 1117401, member: 64243"] Bumping this thread as Smart TV's are now common place, getting cheaper every week and getting more and more and improved features.. since spring 2014 I have a Samsung 40"1080P Smart TV, and yesterday I discovered in Popcorn Time you can directly stream a movie or TV-series to the TV. In stead of using the Popcorn internal player and send the decoded video over the HDMI, the TV's internal hardware codecs are used to decode the movie. This results in much better quality of the movie (smoother) (Popcorn time just shows two options, Play with Popcorntime, or Play with TV) Disadvantage, audio is also decoded in the TV, which has not the nice speakers I have on my receiver, but this can be solved by using Audio Out on my TV. Another disadvantage is the subtitles do not work. So I wonder if this is also possible with MP, probably not with all movies and video's, but with the most widely used formats, it should not be a problem (MKV, MP4, TS, etc.) With Popcorntime I am not sure if the the movie is now sent over the Wireless network (The TV has a working WIFI) or the HDMI, I was just surprised this was possible in the first place:-) I am thinking of a adding a selectable option in the Mediaportal TV/Radio and Video settings like "Stream video to Smart TV if supported" Anybody working on this? or is there already something available? I am not a programmer, so I have no idea if it is possible with MP, but I am sure it would be very nice and a great improvement in picture quality. Thanks! Marco [/QUOTE]
