My LGTV wont/cant play DTS

Post by megsy988 »

i havent run across this issue before but from searching through the forums it's been an issue for a while, anyway my TV wont/cant plat DTS and i cant seem to get the settings right so that it will transcode it, have tried unticking "keep dts tracks" in Common transcode settings\Audio settings, and also editing the config file by clicking on the renderer on status tab then clicking the bar at the top, then adding lines for supported video/audio formats, however can not seem to get UMS to transcode DTS tracks to something else, even know ive told it the renderer doesnt support it. have attached a tracelog and the config files, including the renderer specific one. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance

Dont worry, worked it out, In the LG-LA6200.conf file there was a line for "StreamExtensions =" this appears to override the "mediainfo=true" and the "Supported = " lines in any subsequent configs

thanks

Yep, the Supported lines allow a more granular control on what to stream or transcode.
If you make any changes in the config file just contribute it back so the developers enter your changes into the main UMS distribution.
-- UMS serving PS3, WDTV, Samsung H6400 + J5500 and Kalemsoft renderers! (no video transcoding but remuxing accepted :D )

current working settings for my LG 42LW5700, wants to use the LG-LA6200.conf file for some reason
changes to LG-LA6200.conf

Code: Select all

StreamExtensions = asf,wmv,avi,divx,mp4,m4v,mov,3gp,3g2,ts,trp,tp,mts,m2ts,vob,mpg,mpeg,mp3,jpg,jpeg,jpe,jps,mpo
#removed ,mkv from above line to transcode DTS streams
Made my own .conf file for my TV

Code: Select all

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Custom Device profile
# See DefaultRenderer.conf for descriptions of all possible renderer options
# and UMS.conf for program options.

# Options in this file override the default settings for the specific 47LW5700-TA device(s) listed below.
# Specify devices by uuid (or address if no uuid), separated by commas if more than one.

Device = uuid:1a8314aa-1dd2-11b2-b96d-d3dd679b 07a
LoadingPriority = 2

TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AC3
TranscodeAudio = MP3
TranscodedVideoFileSize = -1
AutoExifRotate = true
MediaInfo = true

# Supported video formats:
Supported = f:3gp|3g2    v:h264|mp4              a:aac                      m:video/3gpp
Supported = f:avi|divx   v:divx|h264|mjpeg|mp4   a:ac3|lpcm|mp3|mpa         m:video/avi
Supported = f:mp4|mov    v:h264|mp4              a:aac|aac-he|ac3|mp3       m:video/mp4

# Supported audio formats:
Supported = f:mp3   m:audio/mpeg

# Supported image formats:
Supported = f:jpg    m:image/jpeg

# Supported subtitles formats:
SupportedExternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP
SupportedInternalSubtitlesFormats = SUBRIP
supported filetypes are from tv manual, so far am not having issues with this config but only time will tell.
if anyone has a similar issue feel free to use part of my config, but note the device uuid must be changed to your own,
