This has always been my experience with Network Sharing as well ... I've never been able to get it to work so I can't help you with that. Until quite recently, I've always copied my movies onto an external hard drive and then plugged the hard drive into my 4k display, I presume that would work for you.

Try loading a plex server and using the TV app. I had decent luck doing that with my Samsung.
I have come to find it being hella easier just to connect a PC direct to the TV. Secondary it's really easy to use either a laptop or phone and screen mirror to it.

You didnt payed attention to my main thread man...I said that the tv doesnt see anything inside the folders

I did actually. It can see the folder which would indicate that the networking is set up right, but isn't seeing the files regardless of various formats you have tried. You still aren't saying where the files came from...;)

I was going to try and look at the manual, but unfortunately don't speak the language. It appears this model was not US release?
I have a very similar 55" Samsung TV. I mention the above things because it's what worked best for me. I wish I could be of more help to your situation.

I don't quite understand what you mean here? If you install the plex server software on the machine that has your movies already on it ... then there's no upload issue at all. I encourage you to check it out ... I think you'll like it.
