The main factor that affects your ability to watch the wedding video is the file format. You will need to consult the user manual or promotional material for the particular set to see which formats it supports. Your Smart TV may only play video in very limited file formats, in addition, some sets will only play a supported video at a specific resolution or within a particular range of resolutions.

The wedding video captured by your smartphone, camera, camcorder or other devices can be in different compression codec or file resolution. What's more, you may fail to find the detailed information about what file formats can be viewed on Smart TV.

Solution 2: Stream Wedding videos to Smart TV via Plex

If you are fortunately to own a TV that are included in Plex supported Smart TV television models listed below, you will then be able to stream and view the wedding videos on your large screen TV with Plex's beautifully organized interface.

LG

Plex app is available on LG television models running the following software:
NetCast (2013 models)
webOS Lite
webOS 1.0
webOS 2.0
webOS 3.0

Samsung

The app is available on 2016 and newer model year Samsung sets that are Tizen-based. The exception is for users located in Brazil, China, or Iran; the app is not currently available for users in those countries.

Sony

The app is available through the Opera TV Store for many 2013 and newer Sony Bravia models. (Note that the Opera forum list does include models older than 2013, which are not supported by the Plex for Smart TVs app.)

Toshiba

The app is made available through the Smart TV Alliance for Toshiba televisions. You can find the list of supported Toshiba models on the Smart TV Alliance website.

VIZIO Televisions

Supported Models
Most 2013 to 2016 model VIZIO televisions are supported. You can determine whether a model is compatible:
- If the app store is named Vizio Internet Apps Plus, then the model is compatible
- If the app store is named anything else (including just "Vizio Internet Apps"), then the model does not currently support the Plex App

To directly play wedding video on Smart TV via Plex, the wedding video must be 100% compatible with your Smart TV. If not, Plex will try to transcode the file for you. However, as the file transcoding process is very CPU intensive, if your computer is serveral years old, it may simply not be powerful enough to perform the transcoding, then you will suffer video buffering issues during the streaming process. In addition, the transcoding process uses temporary disk storage for the converted media. By default, the temporary files are stored on the OS boot disk. This can cause problems if your boot drive is very small.

To have a smooth streaming process with Plex Media Server, it would be much ideal for you to use a our powerful video media conversion app - Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate listed above to convert unsupported video to Smart TV supported file formats or specially optimized file formats for viewing.

2 Ways to Put 3D Blu-ray to PS VR for viewing

PlayStation VR, known by the codename Project Morpheus during development, is a virtual reality headset developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was designed to be fully functional with the PlayStation 4 home video game console. You can import some 3D movies like 3D Blu-ray into it for enjoying the 3D moment. If you feel a little difficult to watch 3D Blu-ray movies with PS VR, you can get two easy methods in this article. Read on.

Method 1 of Watching 3D Blu-ray on PS VR

1. Upgrade PS VR to the System Version 2.5

Watching 3D Blu-Rays with the PlayStation VR only works if you have the latest updates to both the system and the headset. You want the PlayStation 4 to be updated to System Version 4.5, and the PlayStation VR to be updated to System Version 2.5.

2. Make sure PS VR is positioning

It's usually pretty important to make sure your PSVR is correctly positioned on your head, but when watching a 3D Blu-Ray this is critical. If the image is shifted too far in any direction because the lenses are not correctly positioned in fron of your eyes, the 3D effect can quickly become disorienting. Make sure you're seated, and your headset is correctly aligned.

3. Make sure the lenses in your headset is clean

It's also important to make sure the lenses in your headset are as clean as they can possibly be. Make sure you have a microfiber cloth nearby, and remove any smudges from the lenses before you try to watch a 3D Blu-Ray.

As soon as you put the Blu-Ray in your PlayStation 4, Cinematic mode will adjust to show you the movie in 3D. You won't see any 3D features until the movie starts, unless your movie included 3D visuals in the menu system for the disc.

Everything else about Cinematic Mode will remain the same, which means the display size will remain whatever your default setting is. If you've set your Cinematic Mode to Medium, you'll probably want to increase the size to Large when watching 3D Blu-Rays. This will use more of the display, and offer you more of the 3D experience.

Once you have the display size set to your liking, it's important to position the display just slightly higher than you'd normally set it when playing a game. This makes it easier for you to shift a little during the movie, so you aren't trying to reset the view while watching. To make this adjustment, pick your chin up a little higher than usual and hold the Option button until the display recenters.

Once the movie has started, you'll be able to control the movie just like you would any other movie viewed through your PlayStation 4. If you prefer the separate media remote, DualShock 4 controller, or voice commands, you'll find each of these features still exist in the headset. However, since you're going to be sitting stationary for a while, you'll want to ensure you choose a control method before you hit play.

Methos 2 of Watching 3D Blu-ray on PS VR

If you have many 3D Blu-ray discs or want to view 3D Blu-ray on PS VR, you can convert 3D Blu-ray to a 3D video format for easy playback with PS VR. Here, I choose to use Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate, which can rip any 3D Blu-ray movie to PS VR supported 3D format like 3D SBS MP4 format with super fast speed. Besides, it also can rip all the newest even region-locked Blu-ray/DVD and work in 4K/SD/HD video, TV shows and music dramas. It can accept H.265, MP4, AVI, FLV, MKV, ASF, etc and then change them to 3D SBS MP4/MKV/MOV for PS VR and other VR Headsets like Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift DK2, Air VR, HTC Vive, Google DayDream View, 3D TV etc. For me, it is the best choice. You can free download and have a try. (Read its review to learn more)

If you are using Mac, you can get the Mac version - Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac to convert 3D Blu-ray to PS VR 3D format on Mac easily. You can also reference this guide.

Simple Process of Converting 3D Blu-ray to 3D format for PS VR

Step 1: Load 3D Blu-ray disc.

Add 3D Blu-ray from disc drive into Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate by clicking "Load Disc" button. Or you can choose to import Blu-ray ISO image or Blu-ray folder from hard drive.

Tips: The program will automatically select the main Blur-ray title for you, you can select your desired subtitle languages or audio tracks from the drop-down list of "Subtitle" and "Audio" under the Blu-ray title displaying list.

Step 2: Output 3D MP4 or MKV format.

Move to "Format" menu, find "3D Video" category and choose "MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video(*.mp4)" or "MKV Side-by-Side 3D Video(*.mkv)" as output format, you can also choose 3D TAB MKV or MP4 format according to your own needs.

Step 3: Adjust 3D profile settings.

Click settings to open "3D Profile Settings" window, here you can adjust output 3D video depth, select the specific 3D resolution: Side by Side (Half - Width) or Side by Side (Full) or change the image display order for 3D SBS movie.

Step 4: Start the final conversion process.

Go back to the program main interface, hit on the "Convert" button and start to create 3D SBS or TAB MP4/MKV video from 3D Blu-ray disc. When the conversion is done, you can locate the generated 3D SBS MP4 video in output folder to view on VR Headsets with seriously immersive 3D effect.
