Avoid transcoding!!

Post by monikhan »

Hello!
I'm trying to play a 4K movie on LG TV and it seems ffmpeg is always started and the TV closes connection before the stream starts.
What do I need to do to avoid transcoding?
If I go to the transcoding menu and select no transcoding the movie starts immediately.
How is it with subtitles on webOS? Do I only get them if I transcode the movie?
Thank you for your support

You need to modify the renderer configuration file so that UMS knows that the format/codec is supported by your renderer.
