The GT Media V9 already has a tool in the receiver to create .m3u playlists. So this is not required. The question is what can one do with the created .m3u file? We want to be able to play a 4:2:2 stream on the big screen TV. This may not be possible.

However...I do have an Android TIVO on my TV. Now if I could just cast to the Android TIVO, and not directly to the TV as I've been doing, who knows what might happen?;)

I've loaded the V9 playlist as well as all other media in the house via my network using the Media Server app on my Sony TV. But...the TV just says there's nothing to play. It wants media like music, video, photos.

Sounds like a challenge to me!

Using this procedure, I have successfully streamed from my V9 to my PC over my network. The channel played well on my PC. I then connected my PC by HDMI cable back to the TV and played the video on the TV. I don't have 4:2:2 available right now for testing.

I will try this as soon as I get my TV back after the Dodgers game ends...

Does the video play smoothly? I've not noticed anything negative when playing 4:2:2 this way, but I don't think I've actually tried this using the ABC channels. The result of playing 4:2:2 this way just looks clear as a bell to me.

Once the stream goes to your PC or phone and can be viewed on those, I thought they would simply be able to cast back to the TV something simpler for the TV to interpret. But it doesn't work. So I'm simply sitting my spare laptop PC beside the TV and connecting them via HDMI cable. That's my...

Fiber here is 1 Gbps service. I never have Internet issues. And we can stream as much as we want with multiple devices without trouble. In the past, when we've thought of moving to an area, the very first question was what Internet service was available. We recall dial up service in the old days...

Are those the things that comment and complain about what you do? We don't have neighbours... :cool:

Don't want to rain on your parade, however for around the same cost and probably faster, you could have got a "state-of-the-art" new satellite receiver direct from China. But nostalgia is nice.

I gotta warm my milk.

2.4 GHz wifi band is empty. We have no neighbours as far as we can see. It's just us.

The Android phone (or PC) decodes the 4:2:2 stream fine and plays it locally smoothly. But the phone can't do that, it seems, plus also cast it back to the TV. It could even be a bandwidth issue on my local house wifi.

The good signal finder app for Edision users with Android phones that used to be in the Google Play store is no longer there. But, it can be downloaded from here: https://signalmeter.en.aptoide.com/app I don't know if this is a reliable source or not. Proceed at your own risk.
