Universal Media Server | Forum

If blueray player is the client, by default, UMS will use blueray player's capabilities. Though it's possible to force other client configuration, that might cause other issues.

If the renderer can handle the media natively, server serves the media as is - there's no decoding or transcoding involved.

Go to the installation directory using command line and try launching the JAR directly. You can paste the output here for further troubleshooting.

Make sure you have "folders" properly configured in UMS.conf. Latest version starts with scanning the media files. May be try with folder with few files. Also follow the guidelines above in red if you continue to face issues.

How exactly would you like your movies to be sorted? "Media Library" option does give you some standard groupings.

It's difficult to tell which file you were having problem with from the logs. One quick tip is - if the file is being transcoded ,e.g. there's subtitles, then the file is being generated on the fly and hence renderer doesn't have complete file information. Does it get stuck at 3s or keeps increasing...

The problem is in MEncoderVideo (line 1384). For quick fix, you can replace the line encodeSettings += ":preset=superfast,crf=" + x264CRF + ",g=250,i_qfactor=0.71,level=3.1,weightp=0,8x8dct=0,aq-strength=0,me_range=16"; with encodeSettings += ",preset=superfast,crf=" + ...

It does look like your TV adds up any delay as additional video duration. I can account for 2.5s as follows Still, 4-6s is little too much.

Try with ChunkedTransfer enabled in your renderer.conf.

ChunkedTransfer=true
