I'm only posting to give some insight on how I use UMS and subtitles. I sincerely hope I am not stepping on any toes. I am currently using the build posted here . I really like this build as I can have UMS running for weeks without it crashing. I also set the "Add subtitle information to video files...

It actually DOES recognize them, but it doesn't display or work from the main folder window. In 6.8.0, if I add a new subtitle to a folder, exit and re-enter that folder, UMS will rescan that folder, but it doesn't show that it found the new subtitle in the main folder window. However, if I go into ...

This is slightly off topic, but close. Is AviSynth still recommended (during install)? I've never installed or used it.

It does. I never FF on my PS3; I use the GoTo feature, and my A/V stays in sync.

IIRC, if the sub name has a language code in it, it updates ok. The subs I get never have language codes unless I put them in.

Stick it in the Win32 folder in the UMS folder. You may want to save the old one first.

I have noticed this issue for a long time now. One workaround that I use on 6.8.0 is to go into the transcode folder. For some reason, the new subtitle shows up there, and I can manually select it to run. This just saves me time restarting UMS.

I have in the past when I had problems or went from n.x.x to n+1.x.x. I haven't in a long time.

The PS4 does not really support .ass subtitles. It will display them as simple text, ignoring all formatting and position codes. So if there is a lot of text on screen, you will get a mess of text at the bottom. The hard work of the subbers will be lost. The PS4 supports .srt subtitles as CC text.

Thank you for your explanation! Much appreciated.
