Im curently fighting with algorithm that select render.

Its look like the "RendererName" in conf file is the most important. The first file that have valid 'UserAgentSearch' is pickup and others are skiped. I understand that speed up selecting renderer, but what with situation that having to TV of same brand ?

Is my observation correct ?

Curently i have 3 files
1.conf 2.conf 3.conf Having in mind that my TV aint saying hello with '42LA644V' at least it should be skiped, so 2.conf would be valid, but 3.conf is more detalic.

workaround: ignore config in ums.conf

PS. btw, my TV give me this as his ID: HTTP User-Agent: Linux/2.6.35 UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50 INTEL_NMPR/2.0 LGE_DLNA_SDK/1.6.0 but setting it as useragentserach,adidtionalheadersearch dont give me nothing

Your TV's user agent looks pretty plain/general ... so setting those two additional field won't matter.

but two LG models dont use same kernel etc. I would like just search for "HTTP User-Agent: Linux/2.6.35 UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50 INTEL_NMPR/2.0 LGE_DLNA_SDK/1.6.0" but that would be valid for "LGE_DLNA_SDK"

Which is bad because it search and select only first conf that match only "UserAgentSearch".

Thats how the Manufacture set the User-Agent too..

What you can do is UNSELECT the renderer that has the conflict in the General Tab --> Select Renderers Button.

And then restart UMS and see if your Tv is then found.

Yup unfortunately some manufacturers don't set different identifiers for their different products, leaving us with no way to know which one it is

Which is one of the reasons for the renderer selection tool -- its a great feature for this reason
