  • Fixed support for outputting 24-bit FLAC files as 24-bit by muxing them with video
  • Fixed audio playback if VLC is enabled
  • Made server restarts more reliable
  • Made sure FFmpeg outputs a compatible colorspace when transcoding to H.264
  • Made sure the transcode folder appears before files instead of after (below)
  • Renamed config setting "ffmpeg_font_config" to "ffmpeg_fontconfig"
  • Renamed config setting "hide_new_media" to "hide_new_media_folder"
• Renderers:
  • Improved video compatibility on Panasonic TVs

Upgrade Notes:

For all versions below 3.2.0:
If you have enabled FFmpeg's fontconfig or hid the New Media folder, you will need to re-apply those settings.

For all versions below 3.0.0-b1:
It is recommended to delete your UMS.conf file prior to installing this version. Windows users can choose the "clean install" option while installing instead.

virtual_folders = name|/mnt/path,/mnt/path2;name2|/mnt/path3; <-- dosn't work

it gave exception that "/mnt/path2;name2| could not be readed.

virtual_folders_file + json file work ok

and why it make a folder "/" which I see its real root '/' - and both UMS.conf files dont include it. Is it a bug then ?
I removed folders from my config, default config is not edited. and at virtualfolders.conf I dont include any folders with name '/'

Hi sapsa. The note in UMS.conf explains what went wrong:

# Note: Backslashes must be doubled. For example, if you have a folder named
# SubFolder inside ParentFolder, write it like ParentFolder\\SubFolder

one thing though with all these frequent updates lately any chance bringing back the update feature within UMS

It's working for me, is there a bug we don't know about?

Ain't backslash \ use in winOS ?
weren't slashs / use on Linux ?

If for both I should use \\ then ok.

But why then when using only virtualfodlers.conf I end up with "/" ? Should i use double backslash in virtualfolders.conf too ?

Option to both check for update and check automatically for updates is greyed out for me (Mac version).
