Fixed videos being muxed instead of streamed

Thank you! Seems to work. I can now get off of 4.1.3.

Added "Create TRACE logs" button

Also nice.

Please change

Code: Select all

ThumbnailBackground = darkGray

to

Code: Select all

ThumbnailBackground = black

on the Xbox One. Black blends with the background, gray leaves big boxes.

Also, the XB1 is being detected as a 360 for me again.
(I can't seem to find where to attach the log on the forum anymore.)

Cool, it's an important improvement I had been meaning to do for a while

Okay, will do

You can attach logs in the support categories, just not this one since it's an announcement. We would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the logs! It looks like your Xbox One is identifying itself as "ALEXBOX" which makes UMS match the "Xbox" part of it for the 360. I assume that's a custom name for the Xbox One so if you want automatic detection to work you can change it, or you can disable the 360 renderer in the UMS settings so you can keep that name, up to you

True, but try this first.

Initial testing of Java 6 & 8 show most problems still exist:
- Parsing characters: '*', '?'
- File format Errors when "Media renderer" error seen (probably the cause)
- J8 only: network access admin authentication required
However they both did work ok with "clean" names for a while.

Next I created two folders with separate path entries configured. One with "good" names, the other with the problem characters.
Accessing either one directly, "Media renderer" errors appear and the File Format error when playing. Restarting the Server did not help.
On J6 with just the "good" names, the first attempt to play gives the File Format error. Restarting the Server clears the error(s) and all play.

J8 just died - nothing will play. This was the same sequence of events with the 5.1.1 releases.

5.1.0 is the latest J8 version I can use.

I'll post a few dbg files in Support (one would not load) under the same Subject - hope it helps: link

Thanks for the new release!

I don't know when this got fixed. But somewhere along the line, when I transcoded my subtitles, the audio went mono on me. This was pretty evident on the surround sound system. I had set the system to do an "All Channel Stereo" so that the speakers had something to do. But tonight, for some reason, I tried the normal surround sound setting with 5.1.2, and surround sound works normally again. So whatever you did, thanks!!

You have been told numerous times not to use special characters in the title of your videos. They are not compatible with various OS's name them properly and then report the result.

As for the second issue you keep having thats Java related just allow the file "javaw.exe" or whatever its name on the MAC in your firewall, otherwise NO it wont work properly and lead to all types of inssue from UMS not showing up on your device to the computer nagging to make changes and or provide admin rights..

After walking the source tree it seems the 'parse" error is not about the Title (file) name but rather the parsing of the video file. Why they are connected I do not know but I'll keep looking. On a Mac (and probably linux) all the printable characters have passed (i.e. worked). Although they are "special" they are only special to those apps (or shells) which treat them as such, otherwise they are no different then "abc".

Don't know about "javaw.exe" but why would a simple "Restart Server" fix it?
