I just installed UMS 7.0.0 on a fresh install of the os (10.13.4) on my new Mac and subtitles don't work. On top of that MEcoder doesn't work at all.

1. MEncoder embedded subs ---> no subs
2. MEncoder external .srt ---> no subs
3. FFmpeg ...

In "/Applications/Universal Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/fonts" there's only two files, fonts.conf and fonts.dtd.
I reseted the config to default and will produce a new log later. I messed a bit with a few settings because it was not working in the first place.
I'm guessing it has something ...

Hello

I recently installed Yosemite on my mac and since then I can't get subtitles to work with PMS. Everything worked well with my previous OS which was Lion. So I switched to UMS thinking it would resolve the issue but subtitles also don't work with UMS (6.8.0, streaming to PS3).

For the log ...
