Can't get stream to play on Samsung BD-E6500

Hi guys,
First and foremost, I want to thank you for the development of this awesome project. I recently purchased a Samsung BD-E6500 which has AllShare, and I've been trying to stream Blu-ray movies from my computer. I hit Cinavia audio muting about 30 minutes into my first movie. After searching all over the web, I learned of the PS3 Media Server, and eventually this new project, which further supports Samsung devices. I feel like I am so close to getting this to work!
First off, does UMS bypass Cinavia via it's transcoding process? Despite this feature, I cannot get any video to stream as of yet on my Blu-ray player. I believe I have installed things correctly on my Macbook Pro, via the UMS-1.10 distribution dmg that was just recently uploaded. I am successful in seeing the UMS on my Samsung device, and I even see the folders of my movie files, however, when I go to play any of the Transcoded options, or the original file itself, the player goes through the "Loading..." screen, and then ends up with a black screen playing nothing. The UMS window on my computer shows that it is "Serving movie_title_here [container: avi] [video: mpeg4 (Advanced Simple Profile) (XVID / 0x44495658)]"
When selecting the No Encoding option, it does not show that any transcoding buffering is occurring, which should probably be the case, and when I select a transcoding option, it mysteriously jumps to a Peak Bitrate of 781,249 MB/s. Something is fishy here...
Let me know if I should include the debug.log or if I need to further clarify what is going on.
Thanks so much for your help!
