Sorry for the newb question.

Will SB52/UMS 2.6.0 use h264 encoding automatically on renderers that support it, or do I have to edit the conf file or do something else? Nothing seems to have changed in that respect on the PS3 with subtitles...maybe the PS3 does not support this feature?

Thanks.

Is this my 2.5.2 works for while while it doesn't for others, or is it a completely different reason altogether?

Ok, that's interesting. As I also have 8 GB of RAM, am on Win7 64-bit, but I only have 64-bit Java installed. 2.5.2 starts and works ok for me, but UMS reports: 03-19 12:56:00 Memory: 1137 MB with the default 1280 MB at installation. In fact, UMS has always reported a little less memory than the def...

Thank you for the explanation, ExSport!

Not a problem really, just a curiosity. I'm on a 100 Mbit/s wired network. When I was running 2.5.1, I'd get a ping of ~11 ms and an estimated speed of 85 or 93 Mb/s. With 2.5.2, I get a ping of 12 ms and an estimated speed of 42 Mb/s. That seems like a drastic difference for 1 ms. I've had files us...

SubJunk, Loving the new beta. One small cosmetic issue. When not playing anything, the "Common Transcode Settings" tab is sized correctly. When play something so that the status bar, says "Serving XXX.mp4", I get a vertical scroll bar on that page like it didn't account for the height of the status ...

I'm streaming to a PS3, but I haven't had any issues with external subs, even those files with imbeded subtitles. 2.4 and 2.5 work as I expect with external subs being prioritized.

Well, I just looked through the whole conf file. No, it's not selectable from the UI. I just manually edited the conf file.

SubJunk, Two quick questions about UMS-Serenus (2.5.0). I tired it as I thought it might be 2.5.0. :D The "Use tsmuxer" option is gone but it still seems to work that way. Is it now always "on" by default? The " Use LPCM only for HQ audio" section is gone from the UMS.conf file, but it still seems t...

What's this? Does it avoid transcoding? Sounds interesting!
