Seeking Short 4K UHD MKV Samples for DLNA Streaming Test (Sony XR TV)

[devotescream]

Hey all,

I'm planning to serve 4K UHD rips over my home network using Gerbera on a Linux box as the UPnP/DLNA media server. The goal is to stream MKV rips of 4K UHD Blu-rays directly to my Sony XR65A80K TV.

I haven't purchased a drive or created any rips yet — I’m still in the early stages and considering buying a compatible UHD Blu-ray drive (probably from billycar5924). Before I do that, though, I want to test playback compatibility to see if the TV properly supports the common codecs (like HEVC video, TrueHD, DTS:X, or Atmos in MKV) over DLNA.

So, I’m wondering:

Does anyone have short, unmodified sample clips (just a few seconds is fine) from actual 4K UHD rips they’d be willing to share for testing?

Or is there a good site or repository where I could find sample 4K UHD MKV files with common codec setups (without re-encoding)?

Ideally, these clips would preserve the original streams as-is, so I can test pass-through and playback support directly on the TV.

Thanks in advance for any help! I'd really like to confirm this setup works before I commit to buying the ripping hardware.

Try looking at the manual for the TV. It should tell you what codecs are supported.

One would expect most modern TV's to support TrueHD and DTS but you would most likely need a sound bar or an av receiver for Atmos and DTS:X output.
