The web interface only supports a few formats. Have you tried playing it on a renderer?

A renderer is a UPnP AV or DLNA device or application, which is what UMS is meant to serve. This is typically smart TVs, blu-ray player, game console etc.: https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-dlna-1847363

If you just want to make your camera stream available on a web page, UMS isn't the correct software.

Do you know what is the best solution to stream more IP and webcamera to web page?

No, sorry, but there are software solutions made just for that. Take a look here for example, and try them out: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best- ... e-software

Please notice that not all "Open Source" software is free. iSpy for example looks like a typical freemium solution, where they offer you basic services for free but then want to charge you for the things you really need. Freemium often ends up being more expensive than just buying something in the first place, so I'd steer clear of those.
