Universal Media Server | Forum

my samsung tv (EH6030) is often not able to play the newest movie, using allshare (DLNA server of samsung) or UMS. For sure trancoding is not working on them, probably because UMS thinks the tv is able to play. I installed k mega codecs, vlc (portable, but it seems to work).
Tried to create a custom profile, no luck. The problem is: how can I understand what movie my tv can play and what not? I think it's not an elegant solution to transcode everything, but if the only solution I will do it. There is for sure a movie I was able to see using the old AllSharePlay (2011 I think, very old sw never updated) and I can't on UMS.

You can go to the TRANSCODE folder and there are subfolders for all media from the folder. For each media there is a [No transcoding] option and you can test if your TV is capable to play it.

I tried, but for a specific movie that worked using samsung allshareplay it didn't work. I installed later k mega codecs pack but I didn't try. I'll give another chance.
