Streaming H.265 video from my Ultra2 Plus to Panasonic Viera VT60

Question

Been a while since I have needed to post something on here however I got my hands on some H.265 encoded content which wont playback on my Panasonic TV. Generally not an issue with H.264 content so Im trying to figure out if the issue is with the TV or the Nas/ReadyDLNA. I am running Ready DLNA v1.1.4. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Panasonic added H.265 support in their 2014 4K models. &nbsp;Your 2013 1080p TV doesn't support it.

Thanks StephenB. Since my last post I managed to find a more detailed user guide online that confirms my TV only supports H.264. Not the end of the world to be honest just means Ill have to transcode a couple videos.

Are there any Handbrake Gurus on here? I have movies thats encoded in H.265 6.1ch AAC in a MKV container. As mentioned above I cannot play these on my TV and VLC on my mac is unable to playback the audio track on these moves, only the video. I tried transcoding to H.264 AAC Passthrough in MKV container which works on my TV but for some strange reason VLC on my MAC cant playback the audio track. Any suggestions on what I can do during the transcode to get the audio workign on VLC? Teh strange thing is that its not a problem with Quicktime Player just VLC. Options In handbrake are to convert to AAC, HE-AAC, AAC Passthrough, AC3 and MP3. There are &nbsp;various Mixdown options including Stereo, Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic II and 5.1. Unfortunatley no 6.1 like the orignal source. What is the best option to keep the audio 6.1 channels without noticably degrading the audio quality?&nbsp;Thanks
