What are other people using to stream 4K? I'm ideally looking for a nice simple solution-I don't need tagging, search by year, or 37 other ways of organizing my files, I just need a setup that streams from the PC to the TV reliably and easily. I've successfully played back sample-size pieces of 4K HEVC, and almost all regular 1080P HEVC videos work fine, although some don't. This works fine for most things, but it fails on most 4K HEVC content-I get a message from Localcast saying that the Chromecast doesn't support or couldn't find the video. I originally set up Universal Media Server, which is DLNA based, and used LocalCast on my phone to choose media and control playback.

I'd like to be able to use my Android devices to pick a video off the PC and stream it to my Chromecast-connected TV I also have a PC on the network which has a large collection of saved videos.

It's not possible to change log level in this mode.I have a 4K TV with a Chromecast Ultra hooked up to it.

This option in most useful under Linux, where you can stop UMS again simply by pressing Ctrl + c. It can be useful for running UMS in the background without any user interface, but be aware that under Windows there is no other way than using the task manager to stop UMS again. headless - This starts UMS without a GUI.UMS will be used as an abbreviation for Universal Media Server in the rest of this document. The Universal Media Server (Select Profile) shortcut made by the Universal Media Server Windows installer is an example of this (launched with the profiles argument). These arguments can either be used from the command line directly, be used from scripts or be used from shortcuts. UMS can be launched with command line arguments.
