Large/huge files not playing

Hello,
I do have a problem while playing large files (~8GB and up). Most of them are in a .mkv container.
As far as I could see, UMS might have some troubles with the subs, but I'm not sure.
I added the debug.log (ALL) for one of these files.
What is the problem?
Regards

There is no attempt to play file.
Make logs again with reproducing problem and post full zip here (logs in TRACE mode)

Well, exactly that's the problem. It doesn't even start playing.
It shows a size of ~976KB on the tv (even so its 10GB).
I tried to force specific renderes but then it stopped directly. Otherwise (withoud forcing renderer) it seems to try to start it but then breaks with an the error: "The chosen file is not supported".
I did a new TRACE Log.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. However, I found out that the issue started after ums 5.1.0 (that version is working perfectly, except for mp4 playback - which has been fixed with ums 5.2.2).
I have been downloading every new version since then to see if the problem has been corrected but the issue persists. Large files are detected as 800-900 kb files and are unplayable. Not all large files mind you, only really big ones.
Thank you for all your hard work. UMS helped me take my home movie watching experience to the next technological level!
Best,
Steve

I have the same problem with Samsung SmartTV, and I've found a solution (workaround). The problem of such files is high bitrate. See debug log:
Code: Select all
DEBUG 16:42:36.027 [nioEventLoopGroup-3-6] Starting transcode/remux of mortde.RMX-pate.mkv with media info: container: mkv, bitrate: 28746289, size: 23005809260, video codec: h264, duration: 01:46:42.00, width: 1920, height: 1080, frame rate: , thumb size: 1963, mime type: video/avi, matrix coefficients: BT.709, attached fonts: false, video track title from metadata: Remux Pate
Code: Select all
DEBUG 16:42:36.050 [nioEventLoopGroup-3-6] Reading maximum_bitrate: "0" (default: "90")
TRACE 16:42:36.050 [nioEventLoopGroup-3-6] Using the video bitrate limit from the renderer config (25) which is lower than the one from the program settings (25)
TRACE 16:42:36.050 [nioEventLoopGroup-3-6] Halving the video bitrate limit to 12500
Code: Select all
TRACE 16:42:33.550 [nioEventLoopGroup-3-2] File "mortde.RMX-pate.mkv" will not be streamed because the bitrate is too high.
So bitrate of your file is about 28 MBps, and it is higher than 25 MBps from renderer config (
MaxVideoBitrateMbps = 25). Actually the bitrate is being compared to 12,5 MBps, not 25 MBps. The workaround is to change renderer config - try setting
MaxVideoBitrateMbps = 100 and be prepared that your SmartTV won't be able to play streamed file anyway (or maybe it will).
In my case video file has birate about 14 MBps, and setting
MaxVideoBitrateMbps = 50 solved the problem, and I could view video without transcoding.
This workaround works for tle latest version of UMS 5.2.3

Works great for me too. In my Samsung SmartTV broke the list of videos in folder.

Hi.
Can anyone help me with playing big ( UHD ) mkv files ( over 20-25 gb ).
I can normally play files around 10-12 gigs ... I tried to play with MaxBitrate option in tv.conf ... and nothing works.
I have CAT7 cables, network is gigabit, router is gigabit.
Log in attach.
Windows 10 - 16 gb ram - SSD drive - JAVA64
Thank you for helping me out
