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?

One thing I noticed as well is that, the default settings has *,* in the audio/subtitle priority which breaks the patch to prefer extenal subtitles to internal. I got the patch to work after blanking out *,* and leaving the audio/subtitle priority field blank.
