How my new SONY Bravia KD-65XE9005 (Android TV) works with UMS !
Posted: Thu May 25, 2017 2:18 am
Installing UMS, configuring it, working ... it displays the video list but when starting a video i get the spinning circle forever...
Seems that the TV is not properly recognized.
I tried changing numerous settings from transcoding through to default render player ... nothing works.
An issue was the tv detects multiple renderers (about 4) one of which is google chromecast - i do not have it.
Then I started to search this forum and find some threads:

The first was the best one, I read through it all, and download the last .conf file, but my TV wont play.
The message changed and was "cannot play this file" (i translated this from my language, but the meaning is this) that is different from the spinning circle.
Started to work on Sony-BraviaXD.conf file.
The first element was : add chromecast_extension=false into UMS.conf file - placed in your UMS profile folder - not into the UMS.conf found in your Universal "Media Server" program folder.
Than I changed all the reference from the original TV to my TV.
The keys that made the config file working were:
# udn=uuid:48454d48-01af-4343-ad82-70e21eb9dee1 *
# udn=uuid:c2b26bb0-36cb-44de-a38a-b993b2d214a4 **
# udn=uuid:23456789-1234-1010-8000-104fa8c05b3b ***
As the two TV has the same OS (Android 6.1004 - sony_dtvota_2016_1601004100_eua_auth.zip) I thought that all the other configurations should be OK (i.e.: # Supported video formats, # Supported audio formats ... etc.).
AND FINALLY, after 3 hours, IT WORKS !
I attach my new config file [Sony-BraviaXE.conf] for who owns this TV set and want to try it.
