Can't play any video files on any device

Post by lamela123 »

Hello,'
I installed a fresh copy of UMS on my Windows server 2008 and had little luck playing any video files. Music plays fine. I tried mp4, mkw and avi files. None work. Every time I start to play a video, there comes an error in the log. I opened up a few ports in firewall that I found on this forum. Didn't help. Can someone help me please?

Code: Select all

Also, if I add ffmpeg binary files in win32 folder of UMS, then everytime I start playing video, the ffmpeg.exe crashes...
