That's quite likely, as the audio codec used has very little support. It might be that FFmpeg and other transcoding engines can't handle it properly.rowdyruffbrick wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 2:29 am Is this file affecting the playback of the 4k files?
I've deleted the file since I dont actually watch it anymore, but the problem still persists. Could it be my computer is incapable of handling the streaming process?Nadahar wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2018 3:37 amThat's quite likely, as the audio codec used has very little support.

Okay so lets say all I want to do is stream the video without any transcoding, how do I get about this? Just to test it out of course. Again my apologies for my lack of knowledge in this field.
I see. Okay so how would i know if a video is being transcoded or streamed directly?Nadahar wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 1:31 am You can only stream the movie if your renderer supports receiving the file via UPnP AV/DLNA. If your renderer configuration is correct, UMS will always stream the file if possible. Transcoding is done when the file can't be streamed.
That means that the only things you can do to avoid transcoding is either to update your renderer configuration so that UMS knows what format/codecs your renderer can play, or that you convert the file (using Handbrake for example) into a format that your renderer does support.
