Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

These may be transcoding to 1080p so there will be a big drop in quality, but at least I can see the GPU is being used. Also the quality is being limited by the speedtest as "automatic_maximum_bitrate" is set to true, so this is also lowering the quality. If you turned of auto max bitrate ...

Re: Renderers Issue with VLC for my Apple TV 1080p and not 4K

1. I don't know what you mean as UMS finds the right conf files for your 3 devices. There has been a few times where the version number of VLC has prevented UMS from identifying it but it is working normally from what I can see. I can see that your videos detected are going to be streamed for 2 of t...

Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

I forgot to check some other settings like SeekByTime as Samsung does not use that for this type of stream. I do see that the right option is used in the transcoding command to use the GPU though. Give this one a go and it should play while using the GPU but we still need to figure out why it is not...

Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

If at least 1 audio stream is supported then I think the video should be chosen to be streamed but not sure if that check is being done here, maybe something has gone wrong with the decision logic and is choosing to transcode as soon as it see an unsupported audio track. At least it confirms that Tr...

Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

I don't exactly know how the speed test is done in UMS but out of curiosity I ran the OpenSpeedTest server on my PC and ran the test on the web browser on my PS4 and I got a much higher download speed than is measured in UMS. But maybe it is not download speed that is important if it uses another pr...

Re: How to address Virtual Folders with SMB network share???

It should still work and allow you to add any connected drives from within the shared content option in the web settings.

This still has the virtual folders option, its just has this with the normal folders and web content all in one place.

Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

There may be 2 reasons why Avatar is transcoding. One is that it uses the PGS subtitle format that is not supported on that TV but for most renderers that should not prevent it from playing and I don't think UMS will decide to transcode because of this. The other reason is it uses the TrueHD audio f...

Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

They will not be MKV if they are transcoded. In that conf it uses the profile "HLS-MPEGTS-H264-AAC" which uses the "x-mpegURL" mime type so those pictures are correct. As transcoding is happening in realtime then UMS cannot send a file size to the renderer as the file does not ex...

Re: Renderers Samsung QLED 4K 2023 Q68C

Your TV does not support DTS so it will not be able to play without transcoding, or will play the video but no audio. Samsung has stopped supporting DTS from around 2018 as it saves them money on licencing fees. The only way for this to fully play properly is to transcode into a format that is suppo...
