Unsupported file format -AVI

Post by uniluke »

Hi Everyone,
I am a new UMS user.
I installed UMS 6.8.0 on a pc of mine running Windows 10 pro 64bit. It seemed that it was everything ok with the installation.
I can see my photos on my Smart TV Samsung model. UE40F6400AY.
Unfortunately, I got the "This file format is not supported" message when I try to run a AVI file (XVID codec) on it?
Strangely, no problem with a mp4 file (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC).
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

The UMS' configuration file for you renderer (TV) is wrong. You can find a lot of information about renderer configurations on this forum, and maybe even a renderer configuration someone has made that will work with your TV.

If you want help looking on what's wrong with the one you have, please follow the instructions in red above.
