It's a gigabit network, so, in theory, it should be more than robust enough to have a pretty speedy connection to the PS4, regardless of what it's doing the rest of the time (which shouldn't be much anyway), but I guess it's not worth the hassle of trying to sort out the issue, so long as it's worki...

I just wanted to follow up on this. I left the eSET Firewall off for several days, but UMS estimated speeds were all over the place, and never anywhere near as high as the PS4s built in speed test. On the plus side, now that it's wired, it's at least consistently above what it was receiving over wir...

Oh, well, if it's not on the PS4, that'd explain why I couldn't use one lol.

I tried testing the speed with the firewall off, but it still only got up to 50.4286211390689 Mb/s, which while yet more improvement, is still much slower than it should be for a hardwired network connection.

Thanks, I'll experiment some more to see if I can hone in on what might be causing the speed issues. When it comes to the custom conf, I completely missed your earlier reply! That's exactly the issue, it was using the IP address (this is how it creates them by default). I remember trying to do it by...

Good news! The renaming of HDM1 did the trick, the TV no longer has massive overscan! Unfortunately, from what I was reading, this does mean it's doing some scaling, but it might be the best I can get until I replace it, so thank you for the assist! Because I'm no longer scaling anything, I shouldn'...

Thanks for the research! I vaguely recall seeing something about renaming HDMI to PC, but never hard luck with it. That said, I'll dig around and see if I have better luck this time. I'd definitely love to be able to disable it! Using FFmpeg is my preference, the only reason mencoder was entering th...

Brief addendum, the mencoder issue seems to be specifically tied to 10-bit x265 encodings. I ran the test pattern through ffmpeg and encoded 3 files, all HEVC, one 8-bit, one 10-bit, one 12-bit. The 8-bit file played perfectly The 10-bit file did the half-green screen, I also noticed the horizontal ...

When it comes to the transcoding command, the one in question is: DEBUG 2023-07-21 20:46:37.066 [mencoder.exe-243] net.pms.io.ProcessWrapperImpl Starting "C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\bin\mencoder.exe" -ss 0 D:\Video\Movies\test.mkv -msglevel statusline=2 -oac lavc -of lav...

Scratch that. eSET was blocking the web player, since I wasn't allowing port 9002, but adding that made the web player work again. I'd already allowed port 5001 through, but all other connections weren't working, until I did a clean install. Clean install seems to be working correctly, so I'm workin...

I need to find time to test it more, but you may have been right that eSET was the issue, or at least it was the issue for using the web player. I was using "Pause Protection" with eSET, which I could've sworn disabled everything, but apparently only disabled the stuff that wasn't firewall...
