I had my suspicions, but I've also seen users genuinely ask about similar situations, so I chose to answer. If he "reveals himself", just delete the whole thread

None, and I don't quite see what would be the point. You can probably get UMS to stream the output from such a card if you set up a local "stream server" that you then point UMS to by using its URL as a "shared folder/resource". But, there would be no way to control the tuner for changing the ...

It sounds like a bug. Either wait for a new version with a fix or try an older version.

VLC supports pretty much everything, it supports everything FFmpeg supports (it uses the same libs internally) and then some. I doubt (only guessing though) that VLC supports sending subtitles separately, so everything with external subtitles must probably be transcoded. Except for that, it's hard ...

I think the "keep DTS" setting has been broken for a very long time, but I won't swear on anything, since I haven't used UMS in some years now.

The decision UMS makes is whether to transcode or not. Many different things can cause transcoding, like subtitles. If it is decided that it must be ...

I'm not sure it's possible to transcode to LPCM 5.1 (or LPCM audio at all) in UMS. The main problem is that FFmpeg doesn't properly mux LPCM into MPEG-TS - so other solutions must be used like tsMuxeR. tsMuxeR can't transcode though, only mux, which means that to actually transcode to LPCM 5.1 one ...

Regarding building UMS, it's not straight forward until you have all the correct tools installed and configured. You need a Java JDK (not the "runtime" you usually install that's called a JRE), but you also need $JAVA_HOME to point to the JDK folder. In addition, Maven must be installed. Both Java ...

It is a limitation of UMS, that said it's not quite "fair" to compare it to Kodi which just has to play the content itself. All it has to do is read through it sequentially, while UMS as a server must be able to serve any part of the file at any time, per the request of the renderers. That means ...

That's good to hear

Calling it a glitch might be too strong, let's call it a coincidence. The point is that when you disable transcoding, you cut a lot of the "logic" short when UMS is evaluating what to do, so it's hard to say how much of the same logic is still working when that's the case. Disabling transcoding is ...
