Universal Media Server | Forum

When there's no transcoding involved, and unless your server or network is extremely slow, seeking is "instant" without any buffering. I honestly don't think you can tell the difference if the file is on a local disk or is streamed from UMS in this case. What happens "behind the scene...

I'm not even aware that you can do that with the PS3 (I have one). What do you do to download something as opposed to just watch it?

You can't prevent UMS from analysing the files, or UMS would have no idea what to do with them. It normally won't read the whole file though, just enough to get the information it needs (usually just the headers). There are some files though (MP4 for example) that has the brilliant idea that they pl...

10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x and 172.16-32.x.x are all "private" IPv4 ranges that can be used freely. There is no particular preference for 192.168.x.x, except that it seems like it's the default in many routers.

You can't give UMS "commands" from the command line - there's no mechanism to receive such information. You can use the "web console" (if you can find it, look in the log for the address) to trigger a rescan. It's not possible to scan new media only specifically, although this is...

Ah, darn - if have to stop replying to them

..sure doesn't make any sense to me. Ban who, what post?

Don't do that, you need to have the format specified as well. Use: Without the format parameter you're saying to UMS that the renderer can play ANY file, audio or video, as long as it has a WMA audio track it in. That's certainly not correct

I'm not sure about the current UMS code, but I think it's identical with the corresponding DMS code: public static final String WMA = "wma"; public static final String WMA10 = "wma10"; public static final String WMALOSSLESS = "wmalossless"; public static final String WM...

The access points must not also act as routers, they must be "transparent"/"bridged" so that all devices are on the same IP subnet. You cannot share across subnets (not entirely true, but it's complicated to get it to work) and this is a limitation of the UPnP standard, not UMS.
