So ive been wanting to try something for awhile and finally tried today and im lost.
Not sure if I misunderstand how this tech works so any clarification would help.
I currently have a shield pro running kodi connected to synology nas. Im playing 4k/bluray isos. Looks great!
However i have two 4k bluray players, oppo 203 and panasonic ub900. Id like to try a setup (if possible) having kodi be the gui to select the movie and the playback runs through one of the 4k blurays (using cec to trigger the receiver to pick the right input).
Basically i like the oppo for dolbyvision and the ub900 i prefer the hdr playback from it.
The problem of course is can the 4k player do this? Receive the file via ethernet and play? Or something similar?
Can dlna with kodi and 4k players work this way? To trigger the 4k movie to playback on the 4k player after kodi menu selection?
….Or do i misunderstand the technology. I tried setting it up today and kinda got lost. I thought i got the idea wrong but then ill read a bunch of post that sound like others doing something similar!
Hope that made sense. It felt hard to describe.
