Its the video Codec that's the issue not the Format.
Most TV's cant play HEVC codec. If you download a movie with codec HEVC your TV properly wont be able to play it

HEVC gives good quality for a lesser size than the H264 with more size

So if you want to watch in your TV (not android TV) download a H264 codec but for smartphones you can download either but i prefer HEVC.
Xvid is cool too cheesy not xvideos ooo grin.

Where do you all download your movies anyway??


Format for other TV's might be different.

Use VLC on pc to convert to a suitable codec for your TV. It's actually not worth the stress. . . The process takes forever, to complete just a 30mins Video might take 4hrs. Lots of videos on YTube on how to use VLC to convert codecs.
