Hi,

Welcome WD Community.

Can you please provide more information about your case.

What device are you using to play the files?

Is the file on a local disk or are you trying to play the file over the network?

The WD player does not support AVC 10 bit video, you’ll have to re-encode it if you want to watch it on the WDTV.

It is: Western Digital WD TV (WDBPUF0000NBK)

File is on samba share.
