Please, play a H264 movie that's fine and one other that give you issue, and post your full trace log, as explained in the forum rules write in red above your post ;)

It look like an excessive computer resources use while transcoding.

It's not something that is file dependent ...

I've noticed that while streaming a h.264 MKV, if the memory usage bar starts to exceed around 600 MB, the memory usage goes red and then I start getting stuttering playback on my PS3. Using OSX El Capitan, UMS 6.6.0. I don't notice any particular special errors in the logs, but my laptop does start ...

I'm experiencing a similar problem on OSX with version 4 and 5. I have lightning speed buffering with my setup, but the minute I enable subtitles, buffering goes at a snail pace which makes it almost impossible to watch anything without constantly pausing. I've tried all different encoder types ...

Is there any way around this? Occurs with version 4.0.1 and 5.1.0 (OSX) which is transcoding roughly 15 GB MKVs with DTS / DD 5.1 soundtracks. If I disable subtitles, everything streams perfectly.

Before the Java 8 version, the server finally stopped crashing all the time, don't know what that was about. But still a lot of performance problems; freezing, stuttering here and there.

I installed 4.0.1 with Java 8 last night and am now watching a 20 GB .MKV as we speak. For the last hour or so ...

Version 8 of Java? According to the Oracle website only 7 is available. Or are you referring to something else?

Here's the latest crash:

I was using PS3 Media Server for the longest time and it started crashing on me after 10 minutes, pretty much on all .MKVs. I switched to UMS and experience the same problem, except UMS doesn't crash, I can see the debug log. It simply stops playing to my PS3. What could explain this? Any insight ...
