Changes since 2.1.2:
  • General:

    • Fixed RTL subtitle support
    • Improved stability while seeking and transcoding
    • Fixed custom MEncoder settings at renderer level
    • Added a check to the Windows installer that prevents installation until UMS is closed
  • Languages:
    • Minor updates to all languages
    • More text is translatable
    • Updated Brazilian

  • Renderers:
    • Support more Android players (thanks, ExSport!)

      • Fixed audio stuttering/repeating bug
      • Fixed alpha for ASS subtitles
      • Improves permissions handling on Windows
      • Removes incorrectly categorised fonts
    • Updated FFmpeg to SB4, which:
      • Improves audio sync when seeking
      • Supports more rare avi files
      • Improves support for demuxing DTS-HD
      • Fixes dozens of memory leaks
      • Improves audio sync for some AVI files using MP3 audio
      • Improves FPS detection
      • Improved sync for interlaced video
      • Allows mid-stream channel layout change for flac audio
      • Supports 24-bit flac encoding
      • Improves support for some CPU-optimisations
      • Fixed a lot of bugs with the implementation of h264

Upgrade Notes:

For versions prior to 1.5.0:
It is recommended to delete your UMS.conf file prior to installing this version. For Windows users you can choose the "clean install" option while installing instead.

For all versions:
It is recommended (but usually not necessary) to uninstall the older version before installing the new one.


Thanks:

First, thank you for all the work you put into the program.

Oddly, I have a problem w/2.2.0. I took the option to do the clean install. Installed and starts OK. But, the program turns all my MKV's into MPEGs and there are no options inside the transcode folder. No mencoder, no avisynth, etc. Just the MPEG. My OPPO will not stream MPEGs without decoding. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Same issue.

I uninstalled 2.2.0 and reinstalled 2.1.2. The MKV's are back and the engines back again. I do not understand why 2.2.0 changes my MKV's into MPEGS and why the engines do not appear in the transcode folder.

Thanks upfront for advice.
