Universal Media Server | Forum

I need to be able to force transcoding of video and audio to a format supported by Android 5.1.1. I have the server setup and have forced the Galaxy S5 profile to be default, but it's still not transcoding audio to aac or mp3 format. How do I force this?

You must have a correctly configured renderer configuration for the device. Search the forum and I'm sure you'll find a lot on the topic. The renderer configuration specifies what files will be streamed and what will be transcoded via the "supported" lines if mediainfo = true. Anything that matches a supported line will be streamed, anything else will be transcoded. There are other settings deciding what to transcode to, I don't remember the name right now, but it's easy enough to find in the configuration file.
