You can use tools like Staxrip and MKVToolNix to REMUX A/V content into other containers.
So if your TV shows are windows media files or divx files and the TV doesn’t play those containers you may be able to bulk rebuild them as a different format without reencoding the files actual content.
Some file contents won’t work in some containers though, so YMMV.
Also, some TVs or basic file players like those found on TVs can’t read files burried too far down a file tree, or with long names. So consider moving a TV Show to a higher level if needed, like ‘drive/GOT S01’ vs ‘drive/the shows/game of thrones/season 01/s01e01/’ … You get the drift.
