Seeking Short 4K UHD MKV Samples for DLNA Streaming Test (Sony XR TV)
Posted: Tue May 27, 2025 3:46 am
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.
