[Solved] Cant stream any MP4 files using UMS 4.0.2

[jj123]

Hi, After upgrading to v4.0.0 (and now tried v4.0.1) I find that none of my mp4 videos will stream to my Bravia W series TV.

If I reinstall version 3.6.4 all the MP4 files stream correctly.

Is this a bug in v4? or is there a setting that I'm missing?

I was going to make a thread about this, because I am having the same issue.
But I can confirm this happens in my Panasonic TC-P42XT50X too.

when 3.6.0 was released I tested and had to delete this line from Panasonic.conf "MimeTypesChanges=audio/wav=audio/L16|video/mp4=video/mpeg|video/mkv=video/mpeg" to make mp4 stream correctly, because it was displaying every mp4 as "MPEG2-PS", nor working as expected while other formats worked fine, like mkv and flv etc.
everything was again fine as always.

but with UMS4, this problem doesn't seem to get fixed, no matter how many lines I delete or change from Panasonic.conf, mediainfo=off and StreamExtensions=mp4.... deactivate every transcode engine in UMS, using the old UMS.conf or new, using the UMS 4 java 8... etc, it always displays mp4 as MPEG2-PS and it won't even play those files in my tv in most cases.
of course when I drag and drop the ums.jar from 3.6.4 (so I can go back to that version), everything works perfect in a second, and mp4 start working again, but once I put the ums.jar from UMS4 beta or final, and open UMS, the mpeg2-ps troll label appear again in my tv, not letting me watch mp4s again.

at least 3.6.4 seems to work always good, but I hope there is a fix to this mp4 issue.

MP4s unplayable here as well through my ps3

For the braviaw user/s try my suggestion here
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2075#p11498

For others i suggest you start you own thread relevant to your own problem devices

[jj123]

Paradox, thanks for your suggestion, however this issue was caused by a bug in UMS.

SubJunk has found and fixed the issue in 4.0.3

[Paradox]

Theres a version 4.0.3 already? I was not aware of that.

[SubJunk]

There have been some 4.0.3 previews posted as I tracked down the bug and now it's fixed in this version: http://www.spirton.com/uploads/UMS/UMS-3602b2b.exe

Cool nice work as always subjunk look forward to it going final.

I'm also seeing the same behaviour where the PS3 is not served the mp4 file but a transcoded/remuxed one without need, and looking at the debug files I think it's related to the parsing of the file metadata, specifically the container part. Ie in a sample file that plays unchanged on UMS3.6 series, when playing on latest 4.0.3 build it behaves as if playing a mov file:

Code: Select all

When analyzed by latest Mediainfo it matches what ffmpeg is detecting (MPEG4 ISOM container instead of MOV), but somehow goes interpreted wrong on the supported format decision later:
