The log from the old version is 15mb. How should I send it?

If you use the packer in the log section in the WebUI it will zip it and all the confs it is using and that should be small enough to post directly on here.

The only reason why you may not be able to post them is if something is seriously wrong and the log is very bloated that even when zipped it is too large, then you can use something like Mega.nz to upload it to and post the link instead.

Since these will be from the old version you will be unable to pack them from inside UMS without overwriting the previous logs, so you will have to zip them manually.
Include your UMS.conf, SHARED.conf, and the renderer conf that is being used for the device to play the videos on.
These will be in the system's app configuration folder on a Mac but I don't know where this is, on windows it is C:\ProgramData\UMS

I have not had the time to go in depth in the logs but I don't see any errors.

I still think it might just be there is not enough memory available for the size of your media collection. There are IDs reaching up to 20000 for some directories.
There are not any other indications it could be this but the logs are much larger than there should be.

It does show it has 1.7GB free memory when these logs started and it was running for 13h when before it stopped a lot sooner when there was less memory free at the start.
It could also be getting further each time as it does not need to rescan those files it had previously scanned before which is memory and CPU intensive to do all at once.

Could you try only sharing one or two small folders and see how long UMS runs for? You can then add larger and larger folders to see if you can find the limit.

I think another factor is the conf that is being used for your TV.
It is using LG-LA6200.conf as a default as there is probably not a more suitable one and that is just saying to stream everything.
One thing is missing is what subtitles are supported so I do see a lot of messages saying each embedded sub in a video cannot be streamed which may increase the database size.

I'm not entirely sure of the TV you are using. I think the model number is PF1500-NA but this appears to be a projector, is this correct?
I found a manual (p64) for it that lists the supported formats so I could make a better conf for it.
