#Lg smart player not finding media files how to#

I managed to do a bit of testing and found transcoding to be hit and miss. Its not something I have come across before so let me know if that helps. One possibility may be your network settings, have a look at. as transcoding needs be done on the fly there is no time to do any compression on the stream so could max out your network bandwidth, especially if over wireless. In theory If the file is being transcoded it should still play without issues (maybe minus seeking) so any choppyness or stuttering may be due to network issues. There should be enough info there for you to add anything missing from your conf to tell UMS to not transcode similar files. This will show the decision making process UMS is using whether to stream or transcode using the information from the conf. Search the log for 'Final verdict:' and have a look at the section above.

UMS will add '' for example to the filename if it will be transcoded. If it doesn't then UMS will be transcoding it.Ī good way to see if UMS will transcode a file is to have 'Add engine names after filenames' option enabled in the 'Navigation settings' tab. Then try playing the file outside the transcode folder and see if plays the same. If it plays without any problems then it is supported by your device. When trying to setup supported formats first try to play the file from the #-TRANSCODE-# folder and chose 'no transcoding' If you want to try looking at them yourself the logs is at C:/ProgramData/UMS/debug.log
