Thanks for the quick response.

You must be a mind reader - the problematic files do indeed have internal subtitles, and disabling FFmpeg and switching to MEncoder did indeed resolve the issue right away.

I have no problems with playing back 720p videos. However, when I select most 1080p videos for the first time (and sometimes the second and third times as well), my Sony Bravia TV will try to load the file for about 30 seconds or so, then give me the error "The server is not accessible. Access ...

For a moment there, I thought someone had hacked my wifi...

My TV's media player software has its own video resuming functionality, so when the "Enable video resuming" option in UMS is checked, videos will jump ahead by double the elapsed time when resumed. This isn't a huge problem as the checkbox can easily be unchecked, but since UMS has to keep...

Java 7 is EOL as of April 14. Since UMS 5.1.2 came out one day after that, shouldn't UMS for Java 8 now be offered as the default option? Granted, Java is probably the most insecure (legitimate) piece of software that you can install on your computer anyway even when it's fully up to date (Flash mig...

5.0.0-a1 was most interesting - most of the files had the filename problem, but a few files did not have any problems and displayed/played just as they did in 4.x.

[Edit] Spoke too soon. Replacing the Sony-BraviaW.conf file makes the file names display properly, but now nothing can be played. When I try to play a file, I just get a black screen forever. I then installed 5.0.0-b1 (checking the Clean Install checkbox), but my TV is not able to connect to this ve...

I'll give this a try as I've also been experiencing this problem with my Bravia KDL50W790B since upgrading to UMS 5.x. In my case, the filename shows up as "[FFmpeg] {Audio: AAC/Japanese ()} {Sub: SSA/English ()} | MPEG" (without the quotes). I've also attached my logs. I have no clue abou...
