Samsung EH5300 Series.
Samsung EH5300 Series.
I've been struggling with Samsung's EH5300, which has the DLNA supprt, AllShare etc (it's very similar to D5500).
Universal Media Server will appear on my list of sources, will show the files I'm sharing and will even work as a simple link between TV and PC,
playing all the formats which the TV can play directly from a flashdrive.
However, I was looking towards the transcoding possibilities of mencoder, its .ass subtitles support etc.
When I use the transcode folder, none of the files work, even those which are natively supported. The errors I get are kind of "check the network connection",
"file not supported at this time" or something like that, depending on ffmpeg, mencoder, avisynth.
Does anybody have this TV or EH5xxx's, ES series or D5xxx's (which are similar), and has succeded?
Thanks a lot, hope to figure this out.

Welcome to the forum, valp. Please attach your debug information (Traces tab, "Pack debug files" button) after attempting to play a video that fails, then I can try to see what went wrong 
Re: Samsung EH5300 Series.
Thanks, Subjunk, I'm sorry for the delay, but here it is, I attached the files.
I tried to play a MKV file with transcoding and a simple AVI file through transcoding, neither worked.
Strange thing: in my status tab in UMS I see a peak bitrate of 781 Mb/s. There I can see it found my TV without issues, but when I tried to play the vids above my TV loaded for a while then disconnected from UMS.
Thanks.

Hi valp, thanks for the info Please try this file and post your debug info from that version. That will give me some more info to work with

That was very quick, SubJunk, thanks for the effort.
So I uninstalled the previous version and installed the file you uploaded. Then I created a folder with three files: a xvid file that plays natively in the TV, a MKV that plays natively (AVC profile 4.1 8 bit) and a file that won't play natively (a profile 5.0 10 bit), either way, the TV will simplify the .ass subs to a simple display.
So, I went testing.
First of all, the files which are natively supported will be played without the #transcode folder.
So, after that, I entered the #transcode folder and tried various settings for the unsupported file, but everytime I got that long loading followed by a message telling me to check the connection.
More info: I use the latest K-Lite Codec pack (x86 + x64 versions), I installed avisynth when UMS asked.
My PC is a Ahtlon X3, 4Gb Ram, with a HD5750 videocard.
I hope it can help, thanks a lot.

Re: Samsung EH5300 Series.
Hi valp, thanks for the info. Right now I suspect that there are two problems affecting you: one is a UMS error and the other is a problem with 10-bit videos. I will try to fix both bugs but we should do them separately.
So for now, please try to play only regular (non-10-bit) video files. I have another version to try here, and assuming the problem is still in this version, please do the debug thing again, but with a regular file like .avi.

Re: Samsung EH5300 Series.
I just tested it like this:
First, played the files without the #transcode folder, with the same results of Samsung's Allshare DLNA Server (xvid and avc 4.1 8 bit work very well).
Then, I went to #transcode folder and tried to transcode the xvid file without success.
I've attached the debug information, a mediainfo of the the file and a screenshot of UMS.

Re: Samsung EH5300 Series.
It looks like your TV is sending messages to UMS that it doesn't recognise. The only idea I have is to check for a firmware update for the TV.
Failing that, we can look in the commit logs and see who provided the Samsung code (if I remember correctly, it was a random user, not a UMS or PMS developer) to get their thoughts on it.

Anyway, the program works very well connecting the TV to the PC, playing the supported formats without having to use a flash drive.
I'll keep testing different settings, I've managed to play a transcode successfully with other program, but it coudn't read subtitles because of FFMpeg limitations, so I couldn't use it.
If I find something, I'll report back.
Thanks.
Re: Samsung EH5300 Series.
I'll track down the person who wrote the Samsung support code. Why can't they just do it like everyone else... :p
