AAC5.1 failed to play

[wezwez]

Hello all, to be honest I dont understand anything about encoding , but I noticed whenever I play any video that has aac it doesnt play over my tv "I use ums to play movies from my computer" , is it something normal , or just an option I need to tune?
Below is the log file as I copied it

"AAC5.1" is somewhat unusual, your TV probably doesn't support it. Your renderer configuration might need to be modified to specify that AAC is only supported for 2 channels, but since you haven't posted debug files this is merely a guess.

I did post the file

also I noticed that If I put the files over a flash memory or a hard disk and tried to play it directly from the tv there is no problem

[Nadahar]

That can have many reasons. Many devices supports formats/codecs locally that they don't support over UPnP/DLNA. But, it could also be that UMS doesn't declare it properly so that your TV expects something else then it gets.

I can't find any playback attempt of an AAC5.1 file in the posted log. That's needed to see what happens.

Hi wezwez Your logs are good but like Nadahar said we need you to attempt to play the file, then give us those logs.
If you can do that, we can figure out what's causing this bug
