[SOLVED] Problem for playing some videos
Hello,
I am currently experiencing some problems with UMS 6.7.3 and Java 8 on my Samsung H6400
It is impossible to read some MKV's pretty similar (according to Mediainfo) with others files that work
These files all show the size "976.56kb" and are readable while they work very well on the PC and on the PS3
On TV (problems):
On PS3 (work like a charm):
I hope you will find a solution and thank you in advance

Re: Problem for playing some videos
You're affected by a bug that has been solved. We will soon release 6.7.4 which should fix this. In the meanwhile, 6.6.0 should be unaffected.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem for playing some videos
Ok, we're talking about multiple bugs then. The bug I observed doesn't exist in 6.6.0. Finding out what goes wrong is difficult because your log is full of errors from the other bug. I suggest you wait for 6.7.4, and then post new debug files with 6.7.4. It was supposed to be released last weekend, so hopefully it will come very soon.

Re: Problem for playing some videos
That looks much better - now all the errors are gone. I can see that it still doesn't play though, but I'm not sure what's causing it.
As far as UMS is concerned it starts transcoding the file and all is well. After a little while, the TV suddenly disconnects. The reason is probably that the TV isn't happy with some of the data it gets from UMS (probably some of the DLNA metadata). The question is what that is - which is a complete guesswork as no information about that is available (as per DLNA specification).
The reported size might be a hint. If you turn the TV off (cold, not standby) and then starts it up and browses to one of these files: Is this invalid size shown when you browse before you've tried to play, or only after you've tried to play the file once?
Edit: I've found a potential issue. For some reason UMS first classifies the file as MPEG_PS_PAL and later as MPEG_PS_NTSC. That might confuse your TV enough to disconnect.

Re: Problem for playing some videos
I can't know that the bug I discovered is the cause for your issues, but I've created an issue for it in any case as I consider it to be a quite bad bug: https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... ssues/1401
