Universal Media Server | Forum

keefor, as of now I think there's no solution for the transcoding issue in this series.

What I've been doing is using a batchencoder GUI for HandbrakeCLI to convert any kind of file to
playable format in my TV, it's working just fine without noticeable quality loss.

I use this command line in the ...

Yes, sure, here it is:

Just like before, I've played the files without transcoding at first, the only one that didn't work was the AVC 5.1 10bit format.

Thanks, Subjunk, I'm sorry for the delay, but here it is, I attached the files.

I tried to play a MKV file with transcoding and a simple AVI file through transcoding, neither worked.
