Thanks for that. I note that the settings page is reporting that MEncoder engine is not loaded ("failed with: Unknown error"). Is this something I need to fix?

Your expertise, patience and kindness are very much appreciated. I will look for current settings tips but leave well alone unless forced to experiment. Hopefully there's a Reset to Defaults button to get me out of jail… And I now know not to waste my time trying to configure the rogue renderer on t...

Today, mysteriously, everything is working perfectly. I'm playing 4k drone footage stored on my iMac (huge mp4 h264 files) and UMS is rendering them faultlessly on my 1080p LG TV. Nothing has changed since yesterday. My wired LAN is still running at a constant 900Mbps. I haven't touched any settings...

Thanks - I found your answer in another thread and I now have the settings. Now I need to find an idiot's guide to what looks like a minefield! But first I need to understand why my LG TV shows up twice?

My Transcoding Settings window is empty so not sure how I can tweak any settings.

Thanks again @Nadahar: I will experiment. I've done a fair bit of video editing but my knowledge of the different codecs is limited. But the worst that can happen is that saved entries start spontaneously replicating themselves! The complication for UMS might be that we have two TVs connected to the...

Thanks for your insight. I will remain not very optimistic. I'll try another quickie if I may: is there any way to tell UMS to downscale 4k video to 1080p before it gets to the receiving TV? At present, I am seeing a few seconds of stunning quality 4k footage on my new LG1080p TV before it starts fr...

Thank you @Nadahar. They were actually in WEB.conf (user/library/application support/UMS) and I have now deleted them. For the record, my original 3 lines had spawned an additional 1,134 replicated lines as a consequence of trying to delete them. [Meanwhile, any advice on my original mission would b...

Using Mac version 9.8.0 - for which many thanks - I was experimenting with sharing RTSP URLs of my CCTV camera and saved one as a web URL, one as a podcast and one as a live stream. None worked so I tried to delete them, which proved impossible. In fact every time I tried to delete a saved rasp url,...
