Well done on this release!

Videos that I had issues with before now work. I think mostly due to "Improved Panasonic VT60 support".

But yeah thank you so much and keep it up!

Does Panasonic VT60 Support include ZT60 support? Figured they're basically the same TV, but I've never had luck with UMS and the ZT60.
Basically it shows as a "Panasonic TV" on UMS (even though I see no renderer file in the directory), and when I try to play things on the TV, it says
"please wait a moment" for a long time and freezes when playing. I think it's defaulting to the panasonic.conf file for the ZT60.

If you post some TRACE logs for us we can create a ZT60 profile for better support

I cannot believe that Prevent windows sleep still doesn't work properly. It suppose to prevent windows from sleeping WHILE streaming.

I also think this feature fells short. There were a couple of nights lately where i forgot to force the server to shut down so stayed idle all night (and when I tested disabling UMS Prevent Sleep feature a while ago, the server went to stand by mid streaming).

Maybe there's an external util that may be better suited for this functionality, allowing for customized rules (ie if network traffic <5% and later than 2AM go to stand by). If anyone has any suggestion it will be appreciated.

Starting with 5.5.0,UMS no longer seems to work with 32 bit java.
I had 32 bit installed since thats the version that works with firefox.

I only figured it out since I uninstalled java and let UMS reinstall it. Then I noticed it had installed 64 bit java.
Which isnt really a problem since its been a long time since I've used a java based website.
But it might be worth a note in the announcements in case other people have problems.

Uninstall both and install the 2 offline versions here.

btw for anyone having problems with audio sync after seeking forward / backward, go to audio settings and change the AC3 re-encoding to 2 channels (stereo).

This may depend on your renderer though, I have a Panasonic TV P50ST60A. I think this was only with MEncoder as well.

Speaking of which, is there a renderer for this model?
