Hey all,

I've noticed that I'm getting wrong thumbnails. Some of them are from files that were deleted long time ago and on a different media PC that's no longer with us :shock: .

Thanks for your reply mik_s!
I tried playing the video without transcoding using the TRANSCODE folder almost immediately after failure, but to no avail (same issue it wouldnt even start playing).
I don't have a log file with that though, but I'll try to get one tomorrow.

Hey All,

For some reason UMS is having trouble playing a particular video (Episode 5 of LOTR: The Rings Of Power) on my Samsung TV.
It stops playing immediately after starting (it shows a loading spinner for a few seconds).
It's a new headless installation on Ubuntu 22, perhaps I missed something ...
