Re: Unsupported action received [Samsung UE46B8000]

FYI. I got this resolved. No. The DLNA is not crap, just older. I've streamed using the PS3 server as well as Plex successfully for years. I wish that I remembered how I fixed this in the settings.

Problems with FFMPEG and streaming.

I was trying to reduce the size of some of my videos today and I ran into a problem with ffmpeg and UMS. I added the "-preset slow" to my ffmpeg. While the file was smaller my Samsung TV wouldn't accept the video any longer. My understanding of adding the "-preset: slow" is that ...

Re: Unsupported action received [Samsung UE46B8000]

I'm just a novice but I would try playing around with forcing different Samsung renderers and see if that may make a difference. Something to try before spending money or another server.

Re: How to disable transcoding ?

I would agree with that there is no need to manually update the ums.conf file except that with the new GUI browser some options are not available, and when checked in the browser they don't keep. My primary example is to not start a GUI browser on start. I've tried setting this using the browser but...

Re: Can't restart server

This has been around for quite some time. I've noticed for about two years that the restart is very iffy and I just don't use it. I reinstalled version 9.8.0 and the problem doesn't appear to be there. I had also noticed that things like Recently Played hadn't appeared for some time as well as the M...

Re: server disapear from TV list every few minuets

I might have this similar problem. It was very common with the PS3 Media server and it dealt with the Stay Alive broadcast. It has been nearly 10 years so I'm not accurate on details but the time that was set was like every 30 seconds to broadcast yet the software was taking longer than that. I reme...

Re: Encoding stops after 15-20 seconds

I'm sorry but I forgot all about this. I went back to my defaults which didn't require encoding and forgot about this issue. It appears that even when re-encoding is working that the subtitles that are in the videos are unaffected. I'm assuming that the settings are for external subtitle files and w...

Re: Encoding stops after 15-20 seconds

I don't have my log viewer setup at the moment to have a good look, but at a glance I did see a connection reset in your first log. I'll have a closer look later when I can and see if I can see why it is happening. Could you create new logs and pack them using the option from the GUI (see the red s...

Re: Encoding stops after 15-20 seconds

added adendums. See previous posts. Before I list more findings I should ask the question, When transcoding do the subtitle options effect subtiles that are in the video or just external subtitles? If the latter I'm wasting my time, even though I don't mind working on the problem to figure out what ...

Re: Encoding stops after 15-20 seconds

No such luck. I noticed that the Mecoder stops about 8-10 seconds before the video. I'm pretty sure but not certain that before they two coincided much closer. Perhaps the size.... I shut it down immediately after the video stopped. Well, I let a few seconds pass. New log files. Thanks. Just made a ...
