How to disable transcoding?

Versions of UMS past 5.1.0 no longer work correctly with my Samung TV. Every file shows up with a video engine. My TV can play all these files natively, and works fine if i go into the transcode folder and pick "no encoding". How do disable this?

Note: "Skip transcoding for the following extensions" does not work, it works on a handful of files and the setting is not respected for others.

Thanks

If you got MediaInfo = true

Try add:

Code: Select all

Supported = f:mpegps|mpegts   m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:avi|divx        m:video/x-divx
Supported = f:mp4             m:video/mp4
Supported = f:wmv             m:video/x-ms-wmv
Supported = f:mkv             m:video/x-matroska
Supported = f:avi             m:video/avi
Supported = f:mov             m:video/quicktime
Supported = f:flv             m:video/x-flv

In the next version (6.5.2) it will be possible to disable transcoding completely by setting this in UMS.conf:

Code: Select all

disable_transcoding = true
Disabling of transcoding per extension has also been fixed.
