Hi,
I have regular problems on my Samsung UHD KS7090.
For some files (I Can not make out a pattern) I get the unexpected error, regardless of which video engine I use.
The files are ok, must be some kind of special codec that UMS doesn't like I guess.

Here is my log, playing the file does not produce an error:

I use this renderer, which fixed some of the files that do not work, but not all of them.

I recently formatted and set up my PC fresh again, and I can not remember having those problems before that. But I didn't do any special or fancy settings before. It just worked.
What can I do to fix this?

[Edit]
I tried something else, I opened the Transcode folder and tried out all the engines. None of them work.
Playing without Transcoding works.

Furthermore I just opened the files in MediaInfo to find out maybe what is causing this. Here's one file that doesn't work:

Here is another file that doesn't work:

And here is a file that does work fine:

Any idea why File 3 works, but 2 and 1 don't?

@wurstpistole please follow Forum rules written in red above and send the log here but now in the TRACE mode. "Info" you provided at https://pastebin.com/4msy9axz is useless.

Oh alright, I was in a hurry and didn't realize it. Here's the file attached.
It shows me trying to play File A that doesn't work, then File B that doesn't work, then File C that does work.
Maybe one can shed a light.
I add again that for the two files that do not work it does not matter which video engine I use. Some of them show Check network connection, some show unexpected error and Avisynth/MEncoder just shows a loading circle and nothing happens.
For my Trace log, I decided to go with MEncoder which shows the unexpected error.

Judging from that prior to my Windows 10 re-setup I never had this problem, and I also did not use any custom renderer but just standard settings - maybe I have some codec missing on my system that UMS would want to utilize but can't since it's not there? Pretty sure I had K-Lite Codec Pack installed through the years. Just an idea.

In your Samsung-UHD.conf are wrong descriptions of audio codecs. The "aac" instead of "aac-lc" and "aac-he" instead of "he-aac" that is why videos are transcoded not directly streamed. Here is an updated conf. EDIT: supported formats and their abbreviations are listed in the DefaultRenderer.conf

Thanks, I tried it and the previously non-working files now instantly run.
Oddly enough I never used a custom renderer like that on my old Windows 10 setup and never had a problem.
