OS X: Add a Renderers folder to /Application Support/UMS/

[Nadahar]

Whether or not a file will be transcoded is decided before the file starts playing, it's actually decided when you first browse the folder with a given renderer. You should put it in trace mode first, then click "reset cache" on the Navigation/Share tab and then browse the folder from the renderer. That should give a lot of information in the log. It would be nice to find the problem even if it works when you disable all transcoders.

FYi, I don't know if this is intended, but it was confusing... The Log tab doesn't show the trace output and only shows what it usually does. I needed to click the "Open full debug log" in the console to see everything the trace was showing.

This line from below clued me into the fix:

TRACE 14:18:50.345 [Request Handler] File "test.mp4" will not be streamed because the audio will use the encoded audio passthrough feature

So, I went to Common Transcode Settings -> Audio and deselected "Encoded audio passthrough" and now my mp4s and mkvs are recognized correctly and streamed with all the encoders on. I likely selected this option at some point thinking to keep transcoding passing through the original audio and not re-encoding it when it was used. Wouldn't have thought it would affect the detection of streaming vs. transcoding.

So, I think everything is straightened out at this point. Thanks for helping me along the way to the solution.

I've noticed the filtering of messages too, but I don't know if it's intentional. Good to see that you figured it out.
