Hello friends,

I have XBMC and UMS on the same machine. In XBMC I can play .ISO-files or VIDEO_TS folders directly (including DVD menu) when using the file browser, but when I access the same .ISO-file via UPNP, UMS parses it and streams the first playable title via mencoder.

I tried putting "iso ...

Bit late to the party, but I have an idea:

Maybe you told UMS to start minimized? If so you can get the GUI back by right-clicking on the menu-item, I think.

Your solution http://192.168.0.2/writeconfig?key=audiobitrate&value=348 is a good idea but kind of wrong in terms of web standards for setting data ( as a GET request would be used to set/change data ).
Ideally one would use a PUT/PATCH/POST request to http://192.168.0.2/config but the general idea ...

Since they share the same code there will be no difference in quality.

I understand it this way: Mencoder is just a different interface to the ffmpeg-library. I prefer the ffmpeg tool, because I think it is more intuitive and more powerful.

I do not know about the developers' reasons though. I ...

Here's some debug info.

Default UMS configuration except for network interface and shared folder.

Also I just checked the newest PMS 1.60.0 release and it behaves the same.

However I compiled UMS from SVN (using instructions I found in the release section) and it behaves a bit different (reported ...

Hi there,

the mencoder engine behaves in the following way:
Inside the #--TRANSCODE--# folder:
When I select German: I get no sound at all.
When I select English: I get the German audio track.

This is only for avi-files. mkv's are fine.

You told me that ffmpeg is going to replace mencoder. So if ...

I was indeed specifically talking about remuxing, although ffmpeg can of course both remux and reencode.
I should have made myself more clear: I managed to remux an mkv containing h264 into an m2ts with just ffmpeg. (Both my TVs cannot play mkv's)
This didn't work with earlier versions of ffmpeg ...

I've been playing with ffmpeg lately and I managed to produce an m2ts file that my picky Sharp TV actually was willing to play.

Maybe it is time to move away from tsmuxer? Not that I dislike tsmuxer, I had a lot of fun with it. However, tsmuxer isn't open source and there is no ARM version. If UMS ...

As a web developer I could help with the frontend (HTML/JavaScript) but there would have to be some kind of basic http server functionality. Perhaps just as simple as creating a way to modify the configuration files like this:

http://192.168.0.2/writeconfig?key=audiobitrate&value=348

This would ...
