Ok last reply. It seems to be the Sony encoding not allowing that single mp4 to play. I played around with different converters and finally got it to work streaming without transcoding like the other files.

So the only problem at this time is that the conf file for samsung cd currently included ...

I managed to get my old mp4s playing properly by reverting to the old samsungcd.conf file that was included in the fixed release from the old topic.

Including the conf file that didn't work (BadSamsung) and the one that did work (Samsung).

BadSamsung-CD.conf
Samsung-CD.conf

The only problem ...

FYI this seems to go back to a very early release of 5.x and this topic:

Subjunk - you had provided 2 copies there to try out. The results of the first copy had the same issue I'm experiencing now:
Hi SubJunk. I ...

This used to work natively without encoding as Samsung supported MP4 files.

Please see attached logs.

File is:
DEBUG 11:57:21.008 [mplayer.exe-14-1] Playing I:\My Video\Kahlan\SkyScreamer.MP4.

Other files that were known to work in much older releases:
DEBUG 11:57:21.397 [mplayer.exe-15-1 ...

Hi SubJunk.

UMS-30f0f20.exe works properly and FFmpeg no longer tries to transcode the mp4. MP4's work on my Samsung now with this release. I only tried a minute of the start of a file. Will test a full show tonight to make sure.

Thanks for the hard work!

Cheers.

Please try this version: http://www.spirton.com/uploads/UMS/UMS-30f0f20.exe

Also, on a separate note, I have rewritten the Samsung-CD renderer config to use MediaInfo instead of FFmpeg for parsing, so it would be great if people who use that config can test it. Here's a build with the new config ...

Thanks SubJunk. Let me know if you need anything else for logs.

It seems that from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1, it changed the way that mp4's were recognized on Samsung C/D TVs so that it previously showed:

5.0.0

Hey guys. Having this problem too. I downgraded to 5.0.0 and it worked but other bugs like empty folders after playing media and a possible memory leak causing bad playback until UMS is restarted is causing me to go back to 5.0.1 which works much better.

Except for on our main Samsung with mp4 ...

Hi,

*I think I had this in the wrong section. Moving here*

First, love the product. Keep up the great work.

Second, since migrating from PMS to UMS I've noticed a problem where mkv files now have an audio problem on my Samsung PN59D550.

The file plays normally but from time to time, sometimes ...
