Re: Can't play MP3 files

My mistake (it still took the old config file).
The EH5300 now plays all format (avi, mp4, mp3, flac).
flac is being transcoded so I can' see time.

Thanks

I solved the icon issue by changing the relevant line in the config file.
The only issue that remains (and it is not important to me) is the transcoding of flac in the EH5300.

Thanks

Hello,

I do have a similar issue with the latest build 5.1.1.1.
It plays videos without problems but trying to stream mp3 files results in noise. Also the time for each song is always under a minute.

I upgraded from 3.6.x to 5.1.1.1.

I attached the trace log.

panzer can you test the .conf for Samsung-EH5300 made by Subjunk for the next UMS release?

Not good.
All the problems (mkv, flac an icon) retrurned.
With the attached config I don't see the problems.

I found a solution for the flac transcoding on the EH5300.
Just add the line
Supported = f:flac m:audio/mpeg

and all works fine

Thanks panzer, nice find! Good old Samsung, needing us to tell it FLAC is MPEG :roll:
Your changes will be included in 5.1.2 which will be released this week, except for the FLAC streaming one, which will be in the next release.

I can't reproduce the issue with renderer icons. If the bug still exists in 5.1.2 when it's released, please let me know and I'll make a test version to try to fix it.

Hello all,

This is my first post in this great piece of Media Server... ;)
So, in my case, I've got the same problem with the MP3 playback with a Samsung D6100 series TV.

I fix it editing the Samsung-CD.conf file, and adding the following lines:

Code: Select all

# Supported audio formats:
Supported = f:wav   m:audio/L16
Supported = f:mp3   m:audio/mpeg
I think that the UMS don't know how to treat this files... that's all.
Just saved it, and restart the server. Just works!

Thanks for the post :) It looks to me like Samsung-CD.conf already has those two lines in it...?

Hello swiftprince,

thank you for your reply.
I change a config file and used this as default renderer.
Specifically I change

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mp3|wav   m:audio/L16
to the lines you wrote. And now it is working.

May it needs to be "mpeg" and not "L16"?

Regards
