Thank you. I deleted the database folder and that solved the problem.

Hi, I'm seeing a lot of this in the logs:

21:34:55 ERROR Database error while looking up file bookmark in FILES_STATUS for "/Volumes/DiskStation 916/videos/-- baby --/Sesame Street - Fun Fun Elmo": Column "BOOKMARK" not found; SQL statement:

I think UMS stopped supporting this as it was causing issues for some users. I hope they bring the feature back

@Whyexes please test the attached conf based on the Samsung 8 series.conf
Samsung-6series.conf


I'm not sure that config is going to work as it includes DTS support. The latest version of UMS includes the config I submitted for the Samsung Q6 Series. If the config for valib doesn't work, try ...

If you want to see how the files are encoded, open then in VLC Player and then go to Window -> Media Information and check out the codecs. The Q6 config that's included in the latest version of UMS was submitted by me.

For the DTS MKV files, are the files playing but without sound? Or are you ...

I have a 2018 Samsung Q6 series TV. It's able to play x264 and x265 without transcoding. However, if the audio is DTS, then UMS will need to transcode as Samsung removed DTS support in 2018. Like you said, the error messages you're getting from your TV are generic and useless. One way to tell if it ...

I'm running on Mac OS 10.14.1. Upgraded from 7.5.0 to 7.6.2 and now it doesn't always work. The app is running but the GUI doesn't show up and the TV doesn't see the server. I'll have to force quit and try multiple times and it'll eventually start. Going back to 7.5.0 doesn't fix the problem. Going ...

Not a fan of using an installer "wizard" for macOS. I would prefer that you go back to using *.dmg files for macOS distribution. I would much rather copy the application to where I want manually and without giving your installer "wizard" administrative access to my computer. Fortunately, I have ...

Thank you for responding. My TV doesn't support DTS or DTSHD but is able to play TrueHD. I ended up adding TrueHD to my renderer and it's been working since. I'm not really sure why everything seemed to be working fine before I tried updating. In any case, I have a much better understanding of UMS ...

Hi, I was running version 7.3.0 and was able to play x265 files on my Samsung TV. Last night, I ran the installer for 7.6.0 and it stopped playing the files. Since then, I'm downgraded back to 7.3.0 using the same renderer and settings but it still won't play the files. The weird thing is I got it ...
