FYi, I don't know if this is intended, but it was confusing... The Log tab doesn't show the trace output and only shows what it usually does. I needed to click the "Open full debug log" in the console to see everything the trace was showing. This line from below clued me into the fix: TRAC...

Hmmm, when I try to play the transcoded versions now they don't play any video. I can hear the audio. I think the problem exists before the video even plays since with the transcoders disabled, the player identifies the video as MP4, but with the transcoders enabled they are identified as MPEG and h...

That's too bad, since the Skip extensions used to work with PS3MS and MediaInfo = true. My mp4 and mkvs should meet the specs unless the codec text need to match h264 and ac3 exactly even though AVC and AC-3 are the same thing. I don't really use transcoding anyway so disabling it all is not as big ...

So I partially fixed my mp4 playback problem. I was reading this thread https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer/UniversalMediaServer/issues/598 and disabled HTTP Engine V2 and I was able to play mp4 files again like I could in 5.1.3 and earlier. I was able to do this with a regular renderer conf and...

I still cannot play mp4 files with 5.2.1 either so 5.1,4 and up continue to not be useable anymore. Can play mkvs just not mp4 files anymore.

...and in the interest of mentioning bugs, those green help tooltips that appear in the interface... well they often appear overtop the element to be clicked on and actual prevent me from being able to click the button since they're in the way.

The device conf "works" it just no longer allows me to play mp4 files. mkv files still play. Maybe this stems from another problem I've been working around. Previously when I was using PS3MS, I could use: Skip transcoding for the following extensions: mkv,mp4 ... and the player would alway...

After all that I've discovered another showstopper problem... UMS 5.1.4 breaks the ability for me to play mp4 files directly either with a device conf or my custom conf in application bundle renderers folder. I have all transcoding / streaming turned off and the files are labelled as mp4 files by th...

Mainly it just would be nice to have some indication at a glance that it's using a device specific conf file without needing to open up the device window. Maybe there could be a UMS only name so everything else works behind the scenes with the friendly name but UMS just displays what you personally ...

when I quit and re-open UMS, it doesn't select the custom device profile just created and reverts back to the original. This is the bug mentioned above , did you change D --> d? Oops, that was it. One other thing. I can't seem to change the display name of the render as it appears under it's icon o...
