Question why samsung old tv plays avi and not new one?

I have two TV now.
Experiencing issues with videos (particularly AVI) not playing on the TV and it was playing in older Samsung TV model UA55H6400. My new model is 55nu7100 TV.

this new tv when trying to play videos from usb drive, it does not play all files. old model UA55h6400 plays all well.

Dealer offered me to try Samsung JU6400 to try which plays avi format but processor I feel is slow.
Any 55 inch TV with UHD can solve my issue? Please advice.

 

this kind of thing is very normal and a reason why people will often use dedicated media players rather than relying on built in smart TV functions.

One of the reasons behind it could likely be audio, I think Samsung dropped the ability to decode DTS audio.

 

Hi Buddy
I agree. which kind of media player should i attach to tv? i am carrying mostly videos in pen drive to home for watch later. how will i connect new device to tv and pen drive? please explain. thanks for the help. i think this may work.

 

You'll want to connect a computer or android box to the TV via HDMI. I use a Zidoo X10 android box. There are many different ones available.

@Suresh1953 There is a good overview of different players here: START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Sep. 2018) I think the best, cheapest ones are the AMLogic based ones so if you can find one of those in India it will play stuff better.

One of the models you linked above says its Amlogic.

 

perfect. i will get one and inform you before buying finally to look in specs. thanks a bunch. have a nice day
