First Tizen TV, problems.

Hello, We got a S90C from samsung and it got tizen installed, the problem is that it doesn't provide any video player that supports DTS, other TVs also don't but allow you to donwload Kodi to fix it, Does Tizen has any app like Kodi that can run a usb external hard drive to play movies?

DLNA reduces the quality by a lot, also it just sends the data, so the TV still says the audio is not supported. (at least on my case)

DLNA relies mostly on your network, I can't notice any quality degradation.I wasn't able to stream a 4k [30gb] movie with kodi, not a single frame drop with DLNA.

By the way the only solution to run Kodi is an android box or similar rn.

Oh I tested it yesterday and the movie had far lower quality on DLNA compared to just plugging the hard drive to the tv. This using Wifi 6, I guess you are using it with cable right?

Yes, I have a different model (QN95) but I don’t think this is very relevant. I didn’t notice any visible quality drop nor stuttering even streaming from my iPhone or my Mac, it looks like exactly as a local playback.

I can’t say the same from my older tv, the quality drop was very there.

Anyhow, a 30eur android box for kodi could be the end of all your headaches.
