Thanks for the release!

Is there any way to disable ffmpeg scanning fonts when starting UMS when I have subs disabled?

It takes about 16 mins for ffmpeg to scan my fonts folder which contains 258 fonts. During this time my machine (Macbook Pro 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo | 4GB | 10.9.5) is basically unusable. Given I always have subs disabled, it would be fantastic if the font scan could be disabled when subs are disabled.

Thanks again for all your effort with UMS.

What is exactly changed in support for Panasonic TV's?

I have a Panasonic ST50 plasma and have problems playing DVD ISO-s. Sometimes it lists the tracks inside the ISO but just jumps from one to another when clicking play on them, but sometimes it says it can not read even the ISO file... Is there a way to make it work?

Also have a problem with latest versions that I did not have before, that some bigger files (SBS or OU 3D movies, some 1080p movies) are played choppy, sometimes even display please wait during playback, and the buffer is not working... when i press PAUSE on the TV the buffer bar just runs up to a max level (200) and when it reaches te max point it just drops to 0. while the movie is still paused on the TV. If i press PLAY again, the movie starts playing but after a while it starts to drop again, the video and the audio just start to falter, but it keep in sync...

My comp is an Intel QuadCore Q9550 with 4GB RAM could that be the problem?
