Here is a test build for you, please let me know if it works: http://www.spirton.com/uploads/UMS/UMS- ... 78e745.exe

If it still fails, it would be good to know a MKV file that does work so I can compare them in the logs

"(1983) Star Wars - Episode VI - Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter {Special Edition}_[deu,eng].mkv" does play fine.

It seems to me that the problem is in the WDTVLive.conf. There are lines

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mkv             m:video/x-matroska
SupportedInternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP
which mean that all video and audio formats are supported for container MKV which is obviously not true. That is why the "(1999) Star Wars - Episode I - Die dunkle Bedrohung_[deu,eng].mkv" does NOT play because it is streamed not transcoded. I am not sure if e.g.

Code: Select all

DTS audio format
is supported by the WD TV Live.
The second "(1983) Star Wars - Episode VI - Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter {Special Edition}_[deu,eng].mkv" is transcoded because internal subtitles are in Vobsub format and that is why it is playing well.
To fix it the line

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mkv             m:video/x-matroska
should be canged to something like

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mkv    a:aac-lc|he-aac|ac3|adpcm|eac3|lpcm|mp3|mpa|opus|vorbis|wma         m:video/x-matroska
and maybe add also video formats.
I am not sure which video and audio formats are really supported so it must be tuned up.

I installed UMS Download 8.0.0 ALPHA 1.

I checked the files again and the same happened. These above specific files doesn't play.

so i changed "WesternDigital-WDTVLive.conf" with this below line like you suggested. Same problem.



Supported = f:mkv a:aac-lc|he-aac|ac3|adpcm|eac3|lpcm|mp3|mpa|opus|vorbis|wma m:video/x-matroska



I can only repeat myself again: This problem is since 7.6.0.
7.5.0 and before was no problem.
