Hello everyone,
so today I got new Smart TV with 4K UHD, i was very happy that i will start watching movies in 4K UHD
but when I play the movies the TV gives Error that Audio format not supported 
I know about this Avidemux program, But i can NOT convert movies that are 60 or 70 GB every time I want to watch a movie
so any solution or should i send this TV back and please let me know if i replace it, which smart TV supports 4K UHD MKV pirated movies without any issues

Hook a linux pc up to a "dumb" tv. Problem solved. Smart tv's are not so smart. They have DRM and some of them listen to everything you say.

How is your setup configured? Is the TV trying to play the movie directly?
I now with all the DRM and licensing TV's are restricted. I suggest playing it off your computer through an HDMI cable. I would ask Moe or RodneyYouPlonker about that.

If you like the TV then keep it. You aren't going to find a "smart" TV that currently supports the vast majority of audio and video codecs and corresponding containers now, much less down the road.
If the TV has support for apps, and Plex is one of them, that would be an excellent middle ground. You can set up your computer as a Plex server and stream from there to the TV.
Otherwise, just use it as a monitor and hook up an external device to handle playback.

I have the films on External Hard Drive, because I do not want to keep the computer on every time I want to watch movie.

You haven't mention your tv model but anyways start reading the user manual to see if it can handle DTS-MA and truehd.
Since your tv can't play the file i suspect it can't even load it so you can switch audio streams and try both dts and dolby.
Load your file to mkvtoolnix and start testing till you get to the bottom of this.
Remux with only 1 audio stream each time and check playback.
If this fails then remux by using mkvtoolnix option to reduce to core and test again.
It should handle dts or ac3 core fine.
Even my cheap samsung dumb tv handles those fine.
In any case mkvtoolnix is portable so you don't have to install anything and remuxing takes minutes so you'll be fine.

Thanks asterastrip, i have tried it but the files have only DTS and reduce to core doesn't help because the format still the same and it is not supported.
so, until now I found 2 solutions
1- with HDMI cable v.2 with 4K 60H (and turn the computer on, every time i watch a movie)
2- with this box (HIMEDIA™ Q10 PRO 4K (Ultra HD)) (but some people says it is a little bit loud for a bedroom)
and if anyone have an other solution please post it here
Thanks everyone for your response
