Possibly something wrong with the database. will need trace logs to find the cause of the error though. See the red section above.

Also if you are using a VPN, or have more than one network interface on your computer UMS can pick the wrong one. Try forcing UMS to use your wired connection. In the general settings tab under "network options (advanced)" pick the correct interface in the "Force networking on interfa...

Ok. could you try and see if changing it to "SeekByTime = true" makes any difference?


Still need a log to see why that h264 is not working though.

I can't see anything being played so can't tell why that file is not working. Only thing I can tell is that UMS is using the updated conf file. Try playing that h264 file normally and then with the no transcode option before packing the logs. This will show why UMS is transcoding and also show that ...

One of the downsides of transcoding will be that fast forwarding will not work on some TVs because of the way they handle playing of files. sometimes they will need access to the whole file to fast-forward, but as transcoding happens on the fly the whole file does not exist yet. This can also show t...

Yes that is correct. Since your TV doesn't support h265, it is not listed as a supported format so UMS knows to transcode it. If the transcoded file will not play then the transcoding settings probably aren't correct. I'm not an expert on that so will take a bit of trial and error to get it right. C...

Ok I can see what conf is being used. Since it is a fairly old TV it is not capable of playing HEVC(h265) files natively, so they have to be transcoded first. also the conf file for that TV has not been updated to say that this format is not supported. I have tried to write an updated one for you to...

Yes you just need to edit the conf file to add that format as supported. First make sure that the file will play on your TV by going to the #--TRANSCODE--# folder and selecting "NO TRANSCODING" If it plays fine without any issue then you will have to find the renderer conf file UMS is usin...

That log is not much use. Please follow the section above in red on how to create TRACE logs.

Since you mentioned using a VPN, my first guess is that UMS could be using that network adaptor instead of your real network. looking at your log though UMS is ignoring that VPN and using the first physical connection which is your wireless connection. 192.168.0.13 found on network interface: name:w...
