Why does this file get transcoded and this one does not???

Here's my renderer's config file:

Samsung-UN55D6000.conf

(1.59 KiB) Downloaded 475 times

It has Support lines:

Code: Select all

# Supported video formats:
Supported = f:avi|divx   v:divx|h264|mp4|mjpeg        a:mp3|ac3|lpcm|adpcm|dts       m:video/avi
Supported = f:mkv        v:divx|h264|mp4|mjpeg        a:mp3|ac3|eac3|lpcm|adpcm|dts  m:video/avi
Supported = f:wmv        v:divx|h264|mp4|mjpeg|wmv    a:mp3|ac3|lpcm|adpcm|wma       m:video/x-ms-wmv
Supported = f:mp4        v:divx|h264|mp4              a:mp3|aac|adpcm                m:video/mp4
Supported = f:3gp        v:h264|mp4                   a:adpcm|aac|aac-he             m:video/3gpp
Supported = f:mpegps     v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2           a:ac3|mp3|lpcm|aac             m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:mpegts     v:h264|mpeg2|vc1             a:ac3|aac|mp3|aac-he           m:video/mpeg

Why does UMS think I need to transcode the following file?

InsideOut.txt

(6.05 KiB) Downloaded 508 times

That mediainfo seems to indicate a Matroska format (f:mkv) with Advanced Video Codec (v:h264) and DTS audio (a:dts)

Code: Select all

Format                                   : Matroska
Format                                   : AVC
Format                                   : DTS

why is that not matching the second Supported line for f:mkv? If I go into the #Transcode# folder and select "No Encoding" it plays just fine so clearly the rendered does support it as advertised.

furthermore, On the other hand:

Guren.txt

(4.64 KiB) Downloaded 481 times

is a Matroska container with Advanced Video Codec and FLAC audio. The FLAC audio clearly isn't supported by any Supported line in the renderer (and the device's manual doesn't say it is supported) and yet UMS trys to stream it as is when it clearly needs to be transcoded.

Code: Select all

Format                                   : Matroska
Format                                   : AVC
Format                                   : FLAC

Why is UMS incorrectly detecting the transcoding need for these two files?
