Could the problem be in the duration time
that also not report properly for any files

I dont know anything about programing JAva I been using the nightly build from ums builder

I got the cant read file on the panasonic screen

order i did it in
first play mkv file thru status didnt play
then mp4 file thru status didnt play
then mkv file thru the dlna player on the panasonic played
then mp4 file thru the dlna player on the panasonic played
then mp4 file on the status still didnt play

Forget the html CRap

Look at status
click on your Render
load a file
Click PLAY
Doesnt Work

I dump a file to my local hard drive.
I can read and play that file with UMS perfectly with my dlna server

now UMS has a status page (first thing that comes up when you load it) I can click my tv and load the file
the file will not play
I get the cannot read file error

understand

You dont know ...

Here something new
going thru the dlna server on my tv to the hard drive the file plays ok
but go thru the status setting pick your tv and then try to play the file the tv says cant read.

sound right
any file dump to network drive is fine
but going thru jumpy it need to be /mp4

if I dont add it i get the cant read file error
Been that way from the beginning ums really did suck until i came across that

If you want to fix something
on the panny AS650 change the mime in the render file
video/mpeg=video/mp4
i had to do it for
Supported = f:mpegps v:mpeg1|mpeg2 a:ac3|lpcm|mpa m:video/mp4
Supported = f:mpegts v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2 a:aac|aac-he|ac3|eac3|mpa m:video/mp4

video/mpeg did work for most jumpy ...
