Viera TX-50CS630E problems playing 720p and 1080p movies
Dear All,
I have a strange problem on my Viera TX-50CS630E TV. I'm using Serviio for a couple of years now and since the beginning I have problems with playing 720p and 1080p movies shared through DLNA. I'm currently using the Panasonic Viera (2013) profile. The strange thing is that the x264 BDRips are just running fine and the same goes for Series in 720p.
An example below:
BDRip x264 version of the movie here runs totally perfect:
Here the 720p version of the same movie starts and plays like 1 frame per second for like 5-6 seconds than the whole screen falls apart and stops with a green looking fuzzy screen without any audio played:
And here comes a series in 720p which plays also absolutely perfectly:
Sadly whenever I play a series it always works in a 720p version but never with a movie. For all the movies I have tried so far in 720p or 1080p always the same happened (1-2 frames per second jumping around stuttering for a few seconds than it fells apart in a fuzzy-greenish screen).
I have tried the Panasonic Viera G/GT/DT/UT/VT (2011-2012) profile too and exactly the same is happening there too.
Youtube and normal HD channels (1080p) on the TV do work fine without a problem.

Sadly whenever I play a series it always works in a 720p version but never with a movie. For all the movies I have tried so far in 720p or 1080p always the same happened (1-2 frames per second jumping around stuttering for a few seconds than it fells apart in a fuzzy-greenish screen).
I have tried the Panasonic Viera G/GT/DT/UT/VT (2011-2012) profile too and exactly the same is happening there too.
Youtube and normal HD channels (1080p) on the TV do work fine without a problem.
