I just wanted to chime in to say that all or nothing options aren't really going to work.
Most things that support h265 will support 10bit h265 encodes in hardware. Anything that
supports 4K will almost definitely have it. Anything claiming HDR support should be able
to handle 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma ...

There is already a no encoding option in the TRANSCODE folder which will stream the file as-is.

I can't speak to what changed or why it's not working since afaik it should be still.
Here is an alternative you can try: instead of the environment variable UMS_PROFILE
try setting "ums.profile.path=/etc" on the actual java command line.

I would recommend that you create a ums subdirectory of etc ...

Congrats guys!

You deserve it for maintaining such a great piece of software.
Hopefully there is still more kudos to come for UMS!

That may be, but ffmpeg itself requires it be compiled as nonfree when enabling nvenc. This changes
their license such that any binaries compiled with it enabled cannot be redistributed. Support could still be
added for folks that compile from source, but that is up to these fine developers to decide.

They won't be added to there as it requires ffmpeg be compiled with the nonfree option enabled, which
would disallow public redistribution. I always use my own builds, so that isn't a concern for me personally.

FFmpeg just released version 2.6 which includes support for nvenc.
Any chance of getting some experimental support going?

ffmpeg is the default renderer now and it has trouble with some subtitles.
Either configure mencoder to be the default renderer, or enable the 'defer' option for ffmpeg and try again.

It means that if UMS detects subs, it will pass the file off to be processed by mencoder, otherwise ffmpeg will handle the file. The exception to this is that it was fixed so that choosing ffmpeg within the TRANSCODE folder will still allow you to force ffmpeg to process the file even if that option ...

ffmpeg still doesn't work well with some subs. I haven't done any kind of tracking but I think the problem is mostly with styled subs. It works fine for everything else so you can set ffmpeg as your default and set the 'defer to mencoder' option. Or manually choose your preference via the transcode ...
