Testers for new Samsung TV configs

Hi all,
I've made 2 new .confs for samsung TV's. Now i've tested it with no issues but i would like to get a little feedback to make sure they are going to work with no issues.
There is 1 for A/B/C/E series tv that has the fix (ChunkedTransfer=True) for transcoding. And one for D series TV's. As i own both a D and E series i found when turning on chunked transfer it prevented me from transcoding any file to my D series thus the two new .conf files.
So free to drop them into your C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\renderers
and give them a go. Just make sure you back up your old SamsungAllshare.conf before you do!!!
Also there is a Beta of UMS containg the new .confs and the latest from git up
Here (Label=UMS-25-3-13-a6f3e057e05eb1e)

I guess it's in the latest update or something. Anyhow, tried it and it works fine.
One thing I really wished would happen is the detection of the decoder inside the container.
So basically if UMS determined it's a 10-bit mkv file, then transcoding automatically should
start, otherwise, just stream.
Another thing that I think is inherent to the TVs and not the DLNA server is that once the
file is trancoded, you can't seek (ie: fast forward, rewind). That would be the next big thing
as even on my android device which can act as a front-end for UMS to my TV, I'm able to
transcode but unable to skip forward and such.

Skipping in time is a limitation of transcoding files. Its annoying; i have no idea where to begin on changing that.

Also how about a logo update?

Is this fix integrated in the newer versions of UMS as it appears not to be. I have to add the new conf file each time.
Speaking of which, I guess there won't be a way to skip forward / back through a video (ie: seek) when transcoding is there?
It's possible with a PS3 but not with this .conf file.
By the way, I figured a way around the 10-bit video files (which needs trancoding) and non 10-bit files (both have .mkv
containers thus transcoding turns off regardless of the actual codec). I just rename the 10-bit files to .wmv files (as I
don't use that) and set the player to always trancode .wmv files. Works great. Wish the UMS Server was able to distinguish
the file type based on the codec itself (ie: 10-bit vs. non- 10-bit) instead of deciding solely on the file extension (.mkv).
Oh well.

There's an issue with these configs that cannot be fixed at this stage. It relates to the way the renderer is detected. Sorry you have to add it everytime, but thats what i have to do too. I'm hopefully comming up with a fix soon, but until then this is the way it has to be

Man, that sucks. Hope you come up with a fix soon. The thing I don't understand is that Samsung is amongst the best when it comes to SmartTV and yet UMS needs a fix for it.
It boggles me that there isn't a huge outcry for this rendering issue.
You know what I really want? The ability to seek/search videos while transcoding, like how it's done on the PS3. Damn, if I had that... I'd be a happy camper.
By the way, I used the 'evolution kit' from Samsung. Faster and nicer interface... but more of the same in terms of functionality. Was hoping for 10-bit support.

There is a bug with AAC audio using mkv container. IF using this combination the audio is stuttery and inconsistent no matter how low the bit rates are.
Nothing to do with UMS I get the same problem simply playing from a USB stick directly plugged into the TV

Is there any fix for the F8500 series (plasma)? This one doesn't work.

Not at the moment, nambit. I'm not sure if a fix will be found anytime soon
