Thanks for the new release. One nice thing is that every engine has something to do now.

A long, long time ago, I asked if there were any drawbacks to enabling "Parse Framerate from FFmpeg" in the MEncoder setting page, and was told not doing so was a bit faster as it did not have to invoke FFmpeg. Now that FFmpeg is the default and hands off to MEncoder (for subs), will it still incur the penalty? (As I noticed that if "Use Fontconfig" is checked in the FFmpeg settings, FFmpeg will still make temporary subs which it doesn't need, before handing over to MEncoder). Thanks.

Hi SubJunk,
There's still the issue I reported in viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2129&p=11876#p11876 that I have updated there.
However, this release works well on Mac, no more hang or lag

Nice catch with the temporary subs, I've fixed it now for the next release, thanks!
Ideally we shouldn't be using FFmpeg at all if it is deferring to MEncoder for that video.

Thanks for the release!

Thanks Wolfgan!

Hi,

I've just tried to install the Windows Java 6 build but had an issue when trying to run it, I get a requester saying:-

"UMS uses Java Runtime Environment 7.0+ it will now be downloaded"

Me thinks something is wrong

Works great my other machine with Java 7 though, cheers guys !

EDIT:-

Just tried UMS-4.0.3-Java6 and that gave the same result, also it looks as if it may be trying to download Java 8, cant verify that though...

What has changed in this version? As I cannot playback anything now with my custom render. Even the default one that has the same string as the Vizio.

Nothing is obvious in the trace but this keeps popping up after cannot play.

Code: Select all

I go back to 4.0.3 and can play my files.

Thanks for the report, FlyMcDoogal! This will be fixed in 4.1.1 which will be released soon

This is probably an issue with the version of FFmpeg we updated to in 4.1.0. Please replace /Applications/Universal Media Server.app/Contents/Resources/osx/ffmpeg with the one below and see if that fixes it:

and if not, please try this one:

Thx for the new version, but the external subtitles won't work on Samsung F Series again.

[SubJunk]

Thanks pipin, I've fixed that now and it will be in 4.1.1
