UDP:// (Multicast) streams only work using UDPXY. Please contact your provider for more information.
Streams of type MMS:// only play correctly using Netcast (Emu) webOS video mode set in application settings.
Changing audio language (for streams only, not VOD!)
Stream audio language is now automatically selected based on the Audio Language Settings (1st Audio) on your LG Smart TV (see picture below). If you have webOS TV, you will need to set webOS Video Mode to NC MPEG or NC Auto in App’s Settings for this function to work. This function only works for streams that it supports (usually HTTP only, not m3u8).
Stream audio language can still be overridden by using the following codes in the TXT type of playlist:
Examples: ru – Russian, en – English, de – German, lt – Lithuanian, et – Estonian etc..
The track change can be delayed up to 10 sec. Use only in case the TV selects inappropriate track. Could probably work on Multicast streams (UDP).
