Server Version#: 1.27.0.5897-3940636f2 (Ubuntu, arm64, snap)
Player Version#: 2.012
TV Model: Samsung UE40J6300
Up until yesterday the movies from my local server played without any problems via direct play. Transcoding was switched off for the server. (I’m running a raspberry pi, so transcoding is not an option.
Since today, movies suddenly fail with the popup message “Unable to connect to the content server”. I investigated the logs and saw the server was trying to transcode and giving the following warning:
WARN - [Transcode] Got a request to stop a transcode session without a valid session GUID.
When enabling transcoding the movies play, but that’s just not feasible with my hardware.
I tried rolling back the server version to a working one, but strangely the problem persists.
Does this ring a bell with any one of you? I’d love to get direct play back.
