I have created new topic regarding problems of playing files https://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13209 and I don't want to confuse too much with the title of this topic . According to the tittle this one was partly resolved, for blu-ray player, it seems for optoma ...

Hi!

I have created a new topic where I would focus for playing 4K HDR movies on Sony UBP X-800 instead of posting it on my previous topic https://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13126 . So far I haven't been able to play 4K HDR movies with UMS, I can play it directly from blu ...

Before you start looking at potential UMS issues, you should fix your network setup.
I fixed the network problem and I was finally able to test the config.

Please try putting this file into the renderers folder and trying it, I made it based on your manual (which are often very wrong but a ...

Oh man... I have so many problems :/ I couldn't test the config yet, because I have network problems now. I set up cable from modem to the living room where it's connected to switch and I have connected TV box (for watching tv programs), Blu-ray player and TV (for internet connection).
At the ...

@teidybugi please set shared folders acordingly. You have set folders =I:\\,G:\\4k_3d_filmi which means that all subfolders and files in I: drive will be scanned not only folders with any media files. It really spams the log and slow down browsing.

Oh, I didn't even noticed, my bad. I removed I ...

One of the main reasons UMS does transcoding is for subtitles support, so the idea is that we define which things (including which subtitles) a device supports in its renderer configuration file, and then everything that doesn't match that, is transcoded. I'd be happy to work with you to improve ...

Hm, then you need to look up the firewall rule for Java SE Binaries (javaw.exe) and set it accordingly. (allow)


Okay, now I can connect to UMS without disabling firewall. For some movies when playing MKV on blu-ray I'm able to switch audio so it doesn't show unsupported audio anymore, but it ...

You can manually skip transcoding on the "Transcoding Settings" tab in UMS, down the bottom of that screen there is the "skip transcoding for the following extensions".
We would prefer ideally if you could provide us with logs and let us know which formats you are skipping so that we can update ...

Thank you, that did the trick, but unfortunately I'm unable to connect if I turn firewall back. I would like to ask is there a way to play non transcoded files by default and how could I play MKV file but with AC3 audio? It can play with MPEG-2 but the quality is much worse than MKV and not sure why ...

Hi!

I would like to connect to UMS with (at least one of) Sony Blu-ray player X800 and Optoma projector UHD51a. I'm a new guy to this and I can't connect with any of devices.
I would like to watch 4K HDR content like that, with lossless video quality, expect for audio since both devices can't play ...
