I think I have the right info for you. As regards to the renderer being used. I always let UMS do it's own thing. I leave the default set as "unknown renderer" and never force it. I've always run it that way.

TRACE 2017-01-27 14:31:26.756 [New I/O worker #7] Final verdict: "10 Cloverfield Lane..avi" will be streamed since it is forced by configuration

I was just trying to telling you that the renderer that you're using now, not the same as the first time, force everything to stream without transcoding. That's why you're feeling the difference.

An issue about this unecessary transcoding giving problems has be opened.

No! I used the same renderer for all tests that were carried out. Samsung smart TV.

From your first log:

DEBUG 2017-01-22 15:28:42.579 [cling-3] net.pms.configuration.RendererConfiguration Matched media renderer "Samsung C/D Series" based on dlna details "[TV] Living room 192.168.1.28 uuid:1908b100-00a4-1000-be46-bc1485fc24ab Samsung Electronics UE32H5500 AllShare1.0 Samsung TV DMR http://www.samsung.com/sec http://www.samsung.com/sec"

From your second log:

DEBUG 2017-01-27 14:31:26.254 [New I/O worker #5] Matched media renderer "LG LA6200" based on headers {Connection=close, DLNADeviceName.lge.com=%5bTV%5d%5bLG%5d42LN578V-ZE, Host=192.168.1.9:5001, User-Agent=Linux/3.0.13 UPnP/1.0 LGE_DLNA_SDK/1.6.0 [TV][LG]42LN578V-ZE/04.28.14 DLNADOC/1.50}

Who ever did, helped you already

I don't know how that happened then. Both the trace logs that I created and posted were done on my Samsung. I do have an LG smart TV also and that trace log shows it is mine. Strange. Anyway the problem seams to be fixed now. Do you need anymore info from me?

No, thank you.

Now, just relax and enjoy your movies

P.S.
I'll link your post to the Github issue, just in case some developper will need some more informations.

Thanks again for your help with this matter.
