Not sure if there is a way of turning off this behavior, disableing thumbnails in UMS has no effect as the TV is doing its own thing. It may be trying to do the same on a transcoded stream. Then the TV expects data to be there already so ends up either waiting a long time or giving up.Ī similar thing may be happening when trying to seek, when moving the pointer over the scroll bar on a supported file the tv shows a thumbnail preview at that time, like youtube does. It appears to be scanning ahead to animate them instead of using the static one sent by UMS which causes a transcode even when nothing is being played. I have a theory that it may be caused by the way the TV creates thumbnails. If just watching fron the begining straight though it works ok, but seeking or even restarting a stream causes problems like just stopping or hanging with the busy icon spinning. To play videos directly from a USB flash drive connected to a USB port on a LED TV, the video should be in DivX HD format. Click Format bar and choose LG TV (.mp4) from TVS, which can be recognized by LG TV perfectly.

I managed to do a bit of testing and found transcoding to be hit and miss. It supports batch conversion so you can add multiple MP4 files. 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" You can copy the necessary files from backup storage to USB back and then connect it to your LG TV to see whether it is recognized. After a while, the USB will be formatted in a success. Click Apply and Proceed to perform the operation. If you want to try looking at them yourself the logs is at C:/ProgramData/UMS/debug.log In the small window, choose FAT32 or NTFS file system and click on OK button.
