Common Questions
Do all formats work?
We can't enumerate every single video or audio codec and container that Channels supports, but we can say that all modern codecs and containers work just fine. Is FLV supported? No. Is HEVC with HDR supported? Yup.
Does Channels have to transcode on the fly to play back certain formats?
No. Channels can play back all supported formats directly on device. Transcoding is employed if quality settings are set to do so. But in your home, no transcoding is required.
Can I import home videos or other videos that are not specifically movies or TV shows?
Yes! Point Channels at folders full of home videos, concerts, Internet videos, sporting events, or other random videos and they will be added directly to your library. Using built in tools, you can provide titles, descriptions, and art for your videos so they look great in Channels.
