It's not poor quality exactly, it's more like it just doesn't look as good as it could since MX Player uses better codecs than XBMC. Plus, unless your device has an IPS screen of at least 1920x1080 it's not going to look the same as mine whether you have the same file as me. But you can test it if ...

You guys should try the config that I wrote for my Android phones :) http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2574 No dice here, it's the same issues I had years back. No playback etc. The only problem I had was that it buffered for a small period, I'm going to assume that ...

It's simply discarded during playback. If you're using the PS3, you can hit Triangle => Copy, it'll transcode and give you an output that's saved.

With that config in XBMC, I had to go into the transcode folder and manually select ffmpeg. If I don't do that (pick the file outside the transcode folder) I get not video but I do get audio. Testing BubbleUPnP and MX Player now. Interesting, I had a chance to try it out today with this .conf: User...

But now my file won't even play. It's just giving me a "Can't play that link" error. For some reason, when I change that parameter from Stream to Transcode, BubbleUPnP detects my file as an MPEG (which is weird because it should still play, right?) and not an MKV. When I change it back to...

Yeah, I changed the MaxVideoHeight parameter to 1200 so my Nexus wasn't being limited. I'll change the Bitrate too, most of the anime I watch are Bluray encodes (unless they're old/airing). Curious why there isn't more specific parameters on what to transcode. Why just filetypes? Why not specific b...

Yeah, your method works. Subtitles now disable/enable when unchecked/checked in UMS (so probably an issue with Android.conf since XBMC uses XBMC.conf). My 10-bit file is now no longer laggy (is it being transcoded?). However, you're right, this is a workaround. I don't like XBMC's UI AT ALL and I r...

If you're interested in doing a workaround that I use, read on, otherwise wait for someone else to chime in and give you something more solid, but, I actually use this daily to catch up on my shows and it works perfectly. I have an older TF300T tablet that just quite doesn't have the grunt to play r...

Currently, UMS will defer to MEncoder for files with embedded fonts so UMS plays those files ok for me, even if you don't check "Defer to MEncoder". Since the start, MEncoder has had trouble playing the attachments within MKV files as well - the fonts were always substituted. You might no...

This is no longer required in the latest versions of UMS as FFMPEG can read attachment files. I'll leave this here for people forcing older versions of UMS. If this is in the wrong spot, please move it (or remove it if it violates the rules or if it's unneeded). PS, let me know if the pictures are ...
