DLNA to LG TVs (And probably other devices) has been broken for ages. I still use version 10.6.4 in order to send movies to my TV. Here all the codecs my TV can handle, can be streamed over DLNA. Like Dolby Atmos, TrueHD, DTS, AC-3, Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG.
Try using version 10.6.4 or lower to see if this fixes your problem.
Could try just adding hevc to the system DLNA profile for LG Smart TV.

Hi Community,
I am currently facing following issue. I am trying to run my jellyfin libary to be played by my LG TV to 100% direct play via DLNA. I set up a DLNA profile for my TV to force to always force directplay. Everytime the TV says it cannot play the file, I test if it is possible to play it via USB to see if the TV cannot handle the transcode or codec. And this time I have a file which can be played via the USB but if I try to play it via the Jellyfin DLNA, I receive the message "file cannot be recognized". I thought that it might causes issue that the source file has the special character ½ in the name, so I tried on a different DLNA Server the name with a simpler path and filename, but I receive the same error message.
Is it possible that the USB direct player and the DLNA player behave differently? Should I just invest in a better media player box? What would you recommend if I just need a simple 4K DLNA player?
Thank you for your time and I appreciate any help.
