WAV files on Panasonic TV

Hi all,

I'm new to UMS and have been trying hard to set things up, reading a lot on this forum.
However, I can't get WAV files to play via UMS on my Panasonic TX-L37E30E TV with Viera.
It will display the file name, but that's it.
When I try it via BubbleUPNP on my Samsung tablet, the TV now also displays the album/artist name and actually starts playing the file, but the only sound I get is some intermittent 'tssk' noises, as if the song is trying to come through but something is holding it back.
The Panasonic.conf does mention audio support for .wav, so I am baffled.

I'm attaching the debug log.

Thanks for any tips!

Leo

You need to post debug.log in TRACE mode (change logging in GUI)
Btw. WAV files are not always same files. Some can be embeded DTS files, others normal PCM files so hard to say why you hear static noise in your case (in most cases static noise is general "side effect" for DTS)
You can post also MediaInfo for played WAV file.
That Panasonic config file defines WAV support it doesn't mean it is true in your case. There are so many PanTV which differ in codec support not only between TV types, fw versions but also EU/US model.
Try to comment [#] this line and restart UMS:

Code: Select all

MimeTypesChanges=audio/wav=audio/L16|video/mp4=video/mpeg|video/mkv=video/mpeg
If it still doesn't work, try to comment also this two lines:

Code: Select all

Supported = f:wav     m:audio/wav        n:6   a:dts|lpcm   s:48000
Supported = f:wav     m:audio/wav        n:2                s:48000
When all will be commented, UMS will try to transcode file.
