As transcoding has to be done as fast as possible it is not very efficient so creates a lot of data and this setting limits how much network bandwidth to use by lowing the quality, which is useful if you have an old slow network. Also some devices might not be capable of transferring data at the sam...

This is odd. Maybe something is going wrong with the HLS playlist. Try creating new logs so I can see what is happening.

Glad that works. Those conf files should stay even when updating UMS as there are no existing ones to overwrite them. You might still get the odd problem video that does not play right and the conf can be tweaked to fix it. Ideally proper confs will need to be made that are accurate with what they s...

I think it is the subtitle format that is not supported as that video uses PGS but this is not listed as supported in the manual Some TVs will just ignore this and not display the subtitles but others will refuse to play at all. I think this is what is happening here if it refuses to play when using...

Don't forget that UMS will load when windows starts (unless you disable that option) so running it again will cause a second copy of UMS to run and will have the same problems. When windows starts do you see the UMS logo splash screen or see the UMS icon in the tray? When rebooting your computer wit...

Don't force UMS to use this, let it choose itself and if it picks the wrong one then do logs so I can see why. It could also be there is a format that your TV can't play and UMS is still transcoding, something like DTS as many TVs removed support for this to save on licencing fees. I will need to se...

If UMS needs something that is not already on your system it should install it.
I don't know anything about Macs but have not seen anyone ask about this so it must not be a problem.

Unfortunately the trace logs did not reveal the problem like I thought, or is something I missed. I was hoping to see a message saying a file or port was in use. I tested the install as service option on my computer and it does appear in the services and the same keys appear in regedit. Clipboard Im...

Could you post your logs as that one error message is not helpful on its own. See the section in red above.

There is not a conf file for that series TV so UMS is falling back on an old one to give some compatibility but is causing videos that the TV supports to be transcoded. I altered a conf from a 2021 TV that should have similar support for formats so will work better but this will not be 100% right. J...
