I had a look at your UMS.conf file and that seems OK. I the uploaded zip file is my ums init script file. It is the same one that you are using but I made a couple of changes. I can't remember why I made the changes but perhaps it was because of the same problem you are having. You don't need to mak...

I agree with F1Fish.
If you can attach your files:
/etc/init.d/ums
UMS.conf

I think your problem will be seen.
It looks like your paths may differ between your startup script (/etc/init.d/ums) and your conf file (UMS.conf)

Hi SubJunk, I added "TranscodeFastStart = true" to the renderer LG-BP550.conf file and the file which caused the freezing before (12 Years A Slave.mpg), played without causing the Blu Ray player to freeze. I also tried a selection of another 11 movie files (mpg, avi, mp4, mkv) and these pl...

Hi SubJunk, I have installed the trial version of 6.4.1. Everything is default as it was sent and it is using the LG-BP550.conf renderer file that you created. Thanks for the LG Blu Ray conf files. The file we had been testing (Argo.mpg) is playing now and seems to be transcoding. Some other files t...

Hi SubJunk, Thanks for the reply. If I am understanding your question correctly, you are asking the outcome now that I have set HalveBitrate = false. The file "Argo.mpg" does play now but is not being transcoded. From logs: TRACE 2016-07-14 08:52:20.332 [New I/O worker #2] File "Argo....

I think I have found the issue.
It is the new renderer config setting "HalveBitrate" which has a default of "true"
If I set this to "false", I can set "MaxVideoBitrateMbps = 50" which is the default and videos play as they did in previous versions.

I have had a problem but only since version 6.4.0. Previous versions going back to 5.5.0 did not have this issue. Some files which previously always played could not play since 6.4.0. From the trace logs, this is a sample of one of the files "Argo.mpg" Part of 6.4.0 log (not working) TRACE...

When I setup mine (Gentoo), it was just a matter of putting in the full path from the root of the drive where UMS was running from. EG: If UMS was located at /opt and your samba share was at /home/smb, you would just put in /home/smb This is done in UMS.conf in the "shared folders" section...
