Folder navigation borked

[Glassamplifier]

Been using UMS to stream to my OPPO BDP for years now but a few months ago I noticed the folder navigation is borked.

After playing a track when I hit the Return key I get taken back to the OPPO network home page and have to re-enter UMS instead of the last folder in the folder tree.

This makes navigation a real pain.

Have you updated UMS or your OPPO before this started to happen?

That's been true on my OPPO BDP-103D as long as I've used UMS. I assumed it was a feature or a function of the OPPO interface being several years old, like not always seeing cover art that was part of the file.

As I never got a response from the OP I don't know what the original cause was as it appeared to be working just fine but it may have received an update or something to do with UMS changed as more features were added.

If it follows the specifications of DNLA then it should work properly but I know some devices don't or use something proprietary for their own software.
I remember one user had a internet radio box that would read folders from UMS just fine but not show any content.

Some old devices might not understand all the metadata being sent that modern ones can.

There are some options that may help that you can add to the renderer's conf file to limit things like sending metadata it may not understand.
As I don't have one of these I can't be much help on what to try so you will have to experiment and see what works.
All the options are documented in the DefaultRenderer.conf

If you post your log files I may be able to get some clues on what might work.

I tried to follow the instructions to create and attach a .log file. If this isn't what you need to see, let me know.

Thanks that is good.

I think one of the problems could be the conf file for the OPPO as it is the bare minimum to have it work.
It does not list supported formats instead set to just stream or transcode certain extensions and this may be skipping some of the checks things needed to make it run properly.

I don't have time at the moment to make a better one but you could give it a go if you like.
You could base it on another Bluray conf like Sony-Bluray2013.conf and copy the RendererName, RendererIcon and UserAgentSearch from the OPPO conf. To make sure this new conf is used then set LoadingPriority to something high.

If the conf is being used then you can refine the supported formats, this should help. As this is quite old it will also not support h265/HEVC even though it does not list this as being unsupported.
