I have some movies with HEVC (h265) compression. I'd like to play them from USB disk on TV that doesn't support that format. It's 2013 model Samsung h7150.
I was thinking to buy a player to play those movies.
I just read somewhere that TV without HEVC decoder won't be able to play those movies even from external players.
Some people say however, it will play fine as long as the player supports HEVC.
Anyone can confirm either way, please?

If you get a Player that can play h265 it will show on your TV ... I would recommend Nvidia Shield it is the best player around.

I recently purchased Samsung MU7000 Smart TV 43 inches. It plays HEVC content.
Before purchasing i requested the store staff to play files from my USB first as a test before i make up my mind.
MU7000 instatntly played HEVC/H.265 format files.
Thanks.
