Transcode bug

Post by artearte »

Hi,

There seems to be an issue with the transcode and UMS. I am running UMS 5.2.2 on Windows and play from Sony Bravia 48W600B TV.

From my TV if I start the "No Encode" in the TRANSCODE folder it all works fine. The TV can play the clip without any transcode.

However if I just pick the clip nothing works, the TV never starts playing the clip. I think UMS tried to transcode it.

So there are two problems:

1. UMS tries to transcode something it doesn't have to transcode because it is supported.
2. UMS performs a faulty transcode.

I have attached the working and failing case. The working is when I choose "No Encode" from Transcode and the failing is when I simply pick the file.

The "Supported" line for MKV in your config looks like this.
Supported = f:mkv v:mp4|h264 a:ac3|aac|mpa|ogg m:video/x-matroska

I'm not sure, but maybe it transcodes because the MKV has no sound?
