Hi,

This isn't really a big problem but it's been bugging me for a while. Whenever I try to stream content from my UMS to my TV, if the file is a certain type (such as .mkv), the TV says unsupported file type, cannot play the media. However if I go into the transcode folder and select 'transcode - NO transcoding', it plays fine.

Is there any way you can setup UMS so I don't have to transcode 'no transcoding' and files just play?

Hello, I have the same issue. For some reason it gives me this error message in the logs:

It seems it looks for the correct file extention, failes and then decides to convert it anyway.
Can I add file extentions?

Hello again,

After the feedback did not work, I checked the manual of the TV ([LG] webOS TV UH603V) to see which formats are supported.

And I created this config file, but I am not sure how to add it to UMS because when I changed it, restarted UMS, it asked my to recreate a config file?

This is the config file I created
