Hi, I'm streaming h.264 to my PS3, and the picture looks great. However, for certain things (like scrolling credits), the bitrate skyrockets and my network can't keep up. (By "skyrocket", I mean that it jumps from an average of 5 Mbps to 65 Mbps). By comparison, Plex's DLNA server uses about 3 Mbps ...

Every now and then while streaming a movie to my PS3, the audio is suddenly replaced by what sounds like very loud white noise. When this happens, the video suddenly speeds up as well (video speeds up about 1/2 second before the sound goes bonkers). Stopping and restarting playback usually gets ...

My apologies, I figured I was merely configuring something wrong and wasn't trying to post a bug report or anything.

I figured out the problem: there were two PS3 .conf files in the directory and the first one alphabetically was the unmodified one. Once I renamed that one, the one that I modified ...

Hi, I have more CPU than bandwidth, so I thought I'd transcode movies to h.264 instead of MPEG-2 when streaming to my PS3. Following http://www.universalmediaserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2796 , I added "TranscodeVideo = MPEGTS-H264-AC3" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\renderers ...

Thanks @ExSport. My "Sony-PlayStation3.conf" file doesn't have either "MaxVideoBitrateMbps" or "TranscodeVideo" in it, so it sounds like it just uses default settings, then. Not sure if my computer is fast enough to transcode to h.264 or not... it's a Core i3 540 at 3.07 GHz.

Perhaps I'll play with ...

Hi, my UMS setup and my PS3 are connected via Powerline adapters, at a theoretical speed of 200 Mbps (actual speed is probably much, much lower). Most of the time, everything looks great, but when there's a lot of difficult-to-compress motion (especially static, like the beginning of an HBO show ...

Thanks for another awesome release!

I just clean-installed it and noticed something minor. In the Navigation/Share Settings tab, "Enable the cache" is enabled by default, but its tooltip says that the default is disabled.

Other than that, everything's working perfectly.

Woo hoo! Can't wait to install it. Thank you everyone for all your hard work -- the feature list looks great!

Great news. Thanks so much for another release!

I've had really good luck with the free VidOn player.

They have apps for iPhone and iPad. Works great (at least for me) and uses hardware decoding.
