[SOLVED] CAN'T PLAY ANY FILES, EXCEPT NO TRANSCODING

Post by vander »

hi,
i'm using a sony blu ray home theatre system.
As title i can't play any files on blu ray, the only one works is just the TRANSCODE->NO TRANSCODING one.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks for all!

I attached ums_dbg.zip file and i use Sony-HomeTheatreSystem.conf config file.

I'm not sure i can help, but did you try to play a few files?, i don't see that in log.
Try to play some different file formats, and also try transcode (ffmpeg/mencoder)

Edit: If you really want no transcoding, easy fix is to disable the ffmpeg and mencoder engine by selecting the engine in UMS, and then click the tog-wheel at the bottom. Transcoding is nice to have tho, especially when you want to play files your renderer does not support. ( in some scenarios transcoding can also be necesary to enable subtitles )

OK, thanks, this may be more useful to look at. I don't have any solution atm tho (except disabling transcoding engines completely as i mentioned above)

If you arent already running UMS with administrator privileges, try that.

And, i se youre running Java 8, so you installed UMS Java8 version?:

yes i'm already using ums for java 8.
i'll try to use it as admin and disable trancode and i'll tell you!
(but if i disable transcode, how can i play movie if i can play it just with no transcode file, inside transcode folder?)
Thank you so much anyway for ur interest and help!

If you disable transcoding, you will force UMS to just send the file as it is. I'm only suggesting this because you say that the only way you can play files, is to choose no encoding
