UMS on Samsung UHD LED TV

[madman555]

I have a 2018 Samsung Q6 series TV. It's able to play x264 and x265 without transcoding. However, if the audio is DTS, then UMS will need to transcode as Samsung removed DTS support in 2018. Like you said, the error messages you're getting from your TV are generic and useless. One way to tell if it needs to decode or not is if you highlight the file, the type will either be MKV or MPEG. If it doesn't need to be transcoded, it'll say MKV. If it does, it'll say MPEG.

I'm not sure that config is going to work as it includes DTS support. The latest version of UMS includes the config I submitted for the Samsung Q6 Series. If the config for valib doesn't work, try the Q6 one.

EDIT: I am assuming you have a 2018 Samsung as you said new TV. I believe DTS was supported on prior versions.
