With Linux
SHARED.conf is in /userfolder/.config/.config/UMS/SHARED.conf
If that file is not already there, it should be created when UMS is started.

The format (if you want to manually edit SHARED.conf) is:
[
{
"file": "/mnt/media/Images",
"monitored": false,
"metadata": true,
"active": true ...

"You can make it use the system Java install instead but you need to alter the UMS.conf to point to the binaries."

Are you sure that setting is in UMS.conf?
I don't know much about MacOS systems but understand that system is based around Linux.

If that is the case, the Java path has to be ...

I don't have any of the files with special characters which were causing an issue.
It was a couple of years back now and I don't remember which files they were and at that time I removed the special characters which were causing the issue.

No announcement that V14.12.0 is available on Patreon and V14.11.0 is available for general download?

I am running Linux Kernel 6.12.21
Last 2 before that ver Kernel 6.12.16 and 6.6.74
Those 3 kernels ran fine with UMS.

UMS version: 14.11.0 current
Only V13 UMS I had running was: 13.9.0 (worked fine)

I would suggest updating UMS to V14.11.0

If not, it would be worth trying that just to check.

It would just be a matter of changing the line in "UMS.conf" from:
ffmpeg_path =
TO
ffmpeg_path = /opt/ums-14.10.1/linux/ffmpeg
** making sure that the "UMS.conf" you ...

I only run my Linux Server in headless mode and am just using the onboard GPU which is an Intel UHD Graphics 630.

I have been using UMS on a Gentoo Linux system for many years and it works fine.
In a standard linux install, UMS does not use ffmpeg in the UMS folder but uses the linux system ffmpeg.

In UMS.conf, see:
# Path to ffmpeg (absolute or relative from project.binaries.dir)
# Example: /usr/bin/ffmpeg ...

It looks like you are correct about 10-BIT not being the problem with the MKV files.
I have just come accross more MKV files which are doing the same thing and are 8-BIT.

The MKV file I first posted about are AC3 10-BIT with Mode extension : CM (complete main)
The new MKV probelmatic files ...
