You should probably explain what happens at the given time, and give a short description of your setup (hardware, network etc.). In addition, I can't see any obvious error in your log, so you should make sure that the error happens while you're "recording" the log file - otherwise it's not of much use. That means you need to "record" the whole session until whatever goes wrong happens at 70-80 minutes.

If you read the reporting rules (in red above) closely, you will see that you're supposed to restart in "trace mode" and then reproduce the problem before packing the debug files. In your case that means that you have to start "trace mode", then watch a movie until this happens, and THEN go to the UMS computer and pack the debug files. It doesn't matter if the TV is frozen at that time, something shedding a light at what happened is hopefully captured in the log at that time.

I can't see any obvious errors in your log, but I see something that looks wrong. Your renderer is a BRAVIA KD-55AF8, which I assume is an Android TV. UMS does however think it's a Chromecast, which it definitely isn't. This probably means that UMS handles the communication with it somewhat wrong, especially since Chromecast doesn't support DLNA and the support for it is kind of a hack.

It's strange if it works for this long before it freezes though, but I suspect that it might be cause by the fact that when transcoding, UMS sends a "made up" file size to the renderer. The reason for this is that there's no way to know the size of the transcoded file in advance, since it's transcoded on the fly. Most renderers don't care about this, but it might be that your TV refuses to play beyond the file size given by UMS, which would translate to some point in the video that would vary a bit depending on the bitrate.

A renderer configuration for your renderer is probably the solution, partly because it would mean that UMS wouldn't transcode when not needed, and partly because I think you can configure what information to send for "unknown size". Maybe there's another setting that would work with this TV, but without a renderer configuration there's no way to test this.

You'd either have to make a renderer configuration yourself, or get somebody to make one for you. There are many threads on this forum about making renderer configurations, so you would probably be able to figure it out if you invested the time to gather the information you need. Since the process varies a lot, and nobody has taken the time to put one together, there's no "guide" covering how to do it however.
