Upgrade Notes:

For versions prior to 1.5.0:

For all versions:
It is recommended (but usually not necessary) to uninstall the older version before installing the new one.


Thanks:

The PMS developers.
glebb for building the OS X version.

Hi
I don't know what you have done but playback of my .mt2s files is terrible with stuttering, high bandwidth, and forced LPCM stereo sound using FFmpeg transcode for output to a PS3. None of the other Transcode engines appear to beany better. As such I have gone back to 1.5.2

Triplefun, feel free create a thread in the support forum for it

MEncoder and tsMuxeR no longer produce stretched audio with some videos

Just tested a few Game of Thrones episodes and I'm still getting the stretched audio when streaming to the PS3. I do not have this problem if I stream directly to my Samsung TV.

Make sure you have the "remux AC-3" option selected

I had a problem with 1.6.0 and lock ups with my OPPO 93. If I stayed in pause too long, or tried going backwards through file hierarchy, it would freeze and require a restart of the unit. It was repeatable. I did check the debug.log but I could not find the problem there. I ran PS3MS and duplicating the same tasks ran into no lockup problems. I tried changing engines. No luck 1.6.0 would lock up OPPO 93. I did a clean install of 1.6.0. I downgraded to 1.5.2 and the lockup problems went away. It had to have been 1.6.0.

All that said, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into UMS. Your efforts are appreciated. 1.5.2 is working great.

That's weird, Raker13! PM me if you would be willing to test some versions to help me find the problem
