Adding this to UMS.conf "ffmpeg_path = /opt/ums-13.8.1/linux/ffmpeg" has no impact. Log data still states that the server uses the less accurate FFmpeg parsing method, and films are playable as ever before. So there is no issue recognizable.

I'm using now v13.8.1. This version works again like before v13.8.0, i.e. without libmediainfo and libzen installed. The server now use again the less accurate FFmpeg parsing method. So thanks for that.

Great, that's it, the package mediainfo was not installed. Thanks for pointing this out. After installing it works as before. Up to now mediainfo was not required. Has this been changed as from 13.8.0?

Hi all

Updating from 13.6.0 to 13.8.0 produces an error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.pms.configuration.FormatConfiguration.getMatchedMIMEtype(String, String, String)" because the return value of "net.pms.configuration.RendererConfiguration.getFormatConfiguration()" is null ...

Thanks, SubJunk. I've tested 9.6.2 and it works again like before.

Yes, that's the one. I've tested it und found that this version works as before with 9.4.3. Perfekt, thanks.

Sorry, but I run UMS on a Linux machine.

You'll find 9.5.0 here: https://www.fosshub.com/Universal-Media-Server-old.html

Yes, sure. I meanwhile tested 9.6.1 which still has the same behaviour as 9.5.0.

In case it helps to know, it also works by replacing true with false instead of removing the line: KeepAspectRatio = false.
