There isn't supposed to be any limit, but it seems there is a leak somewhere which adds up over time. I have no idea how to find it from the top of my head.

Most definitely. If you're short on RAM, you should try to reduce both this and the max buffer size.

There is a corresponding setting "minimum_video_buffer_size" which default to 12 Mb. "Program memory" is how much memory is allocated to UMS. UMS being a Java application is given a maximum amount of memory it can allocate by the JVM when the program is started. You can read more...

Yes, but you can also set the CRF value directly. I have no idea how these settings affect transcoding quality or bandwidth, but this is the calculation used for the presets: if (x264CRF.contains("Automatic")) { if (x264CRF.contains("Wireless") || maximumBitrate < 70) { x264CRF =...

I don't own a PS4 and has no idea what works and not there. I would think I would have heard more about it if transcoding didn't work for the PS4 at all, but I can't guarantee that any particular fix for your issue has been done - this could also be a configuration error. But, AFAICU you can't even ...
