Re: That file that is still out of sync because the "Defer to MEncoder when transcoding problematic subtitles" option is still enabled so is using MEncoder instead of FFmpeg.
Ans: That fixes EVERYTHING!!!! Thank you.

Re: I'll make an issue on Github as this behaviour is incorrect in V14.12.

I removed the older conf files and used the most recent one you sent. Everything is working EXCEPT one file...
File "Test.Fail.1b.Internal Subs (audio and subs out-of-sync).mkv"
--- Fails when selecting from the normal menu. Audio/video out of sync with each other. Subtitles are hit & miss ...

Re: "Did you try this new conf?"
Ans: Yes, see the post above (Mon Jun 09, 2025 4:09 pm).

I have uploaded a debug log file and I was wondering if you could see if/what there is any difference in the way the two files (before MKVTOOLNIX and after MKVTOOLNIX).
The first filename is: "Test.Fail.5.Internal Subs (pre MKVTOOLNIX-works).mkv" ; This file works fine in UMS.

This file fixes many things...however, there is still a problem with the second video "Test.Fail.2.No subs (plays audio but black picture)".
On UMS v14.10, it still shows a black screen and the video skips every 3-4 seconds when selected from the Normal playback list.
It DOES WORK when selecting ...

I made the recommended changes, putting the test renderer file in the location specified. The TV does not have an option to "Enable/Disable subs". It shows whatever UMS sends it.
I also Unchecked the option to "Defer to MEncoder..."

Here are the results (log file attached).
Video File "Test.Fail ...

I have attached the Log File from my v13.6 system. The results are as follows:
Video File "Test.Fail.Internal Subs (audio and subs out-of-sync)" - Works in v13.6. When using v14.12, it works if I select the FFMpeg option from the Transcode menu.
Video File "Test.Fail.No subs (plays audio but black ...

Re: From what I can see it is only videos that have subtitles that are the problem as there are none defined in the conf for this TV.
Ans: It also includes videos without subtitles. The second video shown here does not have subs and does not play properly.

Re: I don't think MKV videos are supported ...

I think a prior fix for similar issue was done here...

But the same issue has returned with v14.x.
