Lots of problems in UMS when setting Transcode buffer size to 0

Post by homi79 »

When setting the transcode buffer to 0 a lot of Arithmetic exceptions (division by zero) are thrown in the Log when starting
and stopping a movie.
Also the Status-tab is not working correctly. No info of the playing movie is shown and bitrate is always 0.

So don't set the buffer to 0, that could never be a good setting to use

I kept this setting from PMS because I had problems with stuttering even with gigabit ethernet and even with values like 200.
My movies are playing fine with 0...

Also from the perspective of software development an unhandled division by zero exception
(and the following problems) dont seem to be so elegant..
