LG Blu-ray player, BP series (32x,42x,62x, etc...)

Post by sebos »

HI all,
As I got a LG 420, I decide to create the media render conf file.
I do not know the validation processs... But I begin from the WDLive and create this one (I do not find where is the repository of the picture so, it use the WDLive picture !).

Everything is working fine, due to the fact that LG player can do nearly the same thing like the WDLive box.
Advice me how can I help ?
Regards.
Sebos

Hi sebos, thanks a lot for this! Unfortunately it seems that the user-agent is too generic, meaning that other renderers use it too. Is there any other identifying info given?

HI Subjunk, thanks for the answer, I believed nobody wanted to play with LG Blu-ray :-)

So, yes you're right... but if you look at the available renders in UMS, you will see that there is already Visio Smart TV... which use unfortunatly this generic string.

I think this string is generic enough to try to do a better renders conf file: I mean something with everything is sent without any transcoding...

This will permit to LG players (and I pretty sure, other ones) to play files with UMS.

Because, if I look at the trace sent by the LG player... I do not find anything more than (condition to reproduce: remove the VizioSmartTV.conf or rename it) :

Code: Select all

If a User Agent configuration of a device gets in your way, you can configure UMS to ignore it, so that it finds your correct device.
You can find this ignore property in the General Configuration tab, 3rd line from the bottom.
This way you don't have to remove unwanted .conf files.
