I'm using Plex Media Manager under Ubuntu 14.04 and want to playback HEVC videos on my LG 42LN5708 television via Plex.

HEVC videos play just fine in Mozilla Firefox when I open the Plex Media Manager program there. So apparently Plex understands what the format is. However, when I try to play the same video on my LG 42LN5708 television it says the format is not supported.

How is this possible? Plex Media Manager is just a frame server, right? So why does it not serve the frames properly to the television?

I'm kind of a newbie in all of this so I'm not quite sure but I believe that supported codecs for a client depend on the device's client application. Apparently Plex application for LG TVs doesn't support HEVC.

My source for all of that is this answer.
