IIRC, to change the "Start automatically with Windows" option, you need to run UMS as an Administrator in Windows, since, I think, UMS puts/deletes a shortcut in a Windows protected folder.

First, does your TV support external .srt subtitles? If yes, then in the config file, find the line at the very end that currently reads:

Thank you Nadahar and SubJunk for your kind replies. I would be happy to test any build with improved subtitle support. My understanding is that series 7 uses some new configuration terms compared to series 6 (especially for the show/hide features), is that correct? Such that I should do a fresh ins...
