.mkv doesnt play on LED:UA32C5000 but plays on LCD:LA32C530

I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED SAMSUNG LED SERIES 5 UA32C5000 IN INDIA.

What I have observed till now that through the USB 2 Video connection,I am not able to play some *.mkv* and *.mp4* video files.
I get the error Video Codec not supported.
I thought it might be a compatibility issue.
But I went to the Samsung Showroom from where I purchased my LED and conducted the same test using the same files which
wont play on my LED on a SAMSUNG LCD SERIES 5 LA32C530 and all the other series 5 LCD models.
And on the LCD models I was able to play all those video files without any glitch or error.
I went to Samsung website and downloaded the PDF user guides for both these models LCD: LA32C530...and LED : UA32C5000
and I observed that video codecs supported table is exactly the same for both these models.
So I am surprised that how is it possible on an LCD(same series 5) but not LED,which is supposed to be a more advanced model..

I am giving the details of one of the files which I was trying to play on LED(didn't work) but worked on LCD model..

So what I need to know is why this is happening or is there any kinda of workaround or Firmware Upgrade needed to be done on the LED to play
the same format which works flawlessly on a simple LCD TV.
Or I am seriously contemplating replacing the LED with LCD as it also costs Rs.12K more than the LCD model.

Hi. How can I add cwtv app on my Samsung LED smart tv?

Android tablets and phones are smart enough to play all apps from Google play. However, so-called smart TV's are rather immune, and only play a very limited number of apps from the site of their own maker (so Samsung TV's play a few Samsung apps, LG TV's play a few LG apps, and so on). Your observation is quite right.

How to cure double image in Samsung LCD model number LA32C530

Take out the two flat ribbon cables going from TCon board to LCD panel. Clean the ends thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and fit them back. Ordinary cleaning may not do the job and confuse you. Beware,company guys declare the panel to be defective for this fault.

Hi, I cannot play some .mkv files on my Samsung LN40C530. What could the problem be? Regards, Charles.

MKV is a video container format which may contain various video or audio codec. If the video or audio codec is not supported by Samsung, it will fail to play mkv files on Samsung.
To play unsupported MKV files, it is better to convert MKV to MP4 H.264 with the help of Avdshare Video Converter.

Kenwood DVD player 5 speaker system

There is nothing wrong with it, it is set to only play in the region it was purchased from. That is how all DVD players are made, with regional settings. No repair is going to help, you just need a DVD player from the proper region to play those disc's.
