Great :). Can you elaborate precisely what you mean by 'send the stop command and a clear buffer'? Do you mean using the renderer panel controls as opposed to the Panasonic TV remote?

It's a good test, tho, since we get the same error as before. It confirms that the problem doesn't actually involve mime-type, rather it's due to xml-parsing failure.

Great :)

I was messing with it.
I started the mkv while the mp4 was playing
it restarted playing the mp4.

I am not sure what i was doing
I think i tried stopping it and play then load the mkv and still the mp4 played

but one problem at a time.
This is why i shut off the tv and shutdown ums.

There's one important thing you still haven't answered in a way we understand. You changed the mime types for the renderer - why exactly was that? What started to work after you changed the mime types?

It was answer
none of jumpy streaming work until I change it
video/mpeg to video/mp4

When I ran the video test files subjunk created
I believe everything ran
This was local to my tv and hard drive.

Do you have a different routine for the internet stream vs reading it local?
was
Supported = f:mpegps v:mpeg1|mpeg2 a:ac3|lpcm|mpa m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:mpegts v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2 a:aac|aac-he|ac3|eac3|mpa m:video/mpeg

now

Supported = f:mpegps v:mpeg1|mpeg2 a:ac3|lpcm|mpa m:video/mp4
Supported = f:mpegts v:h264|mpeg1|mpeg2 a:aac|aac-he|ac3|eac3|mpa m:video/mp4

That sounds like a jumpy problem, not a UMS problem?

You can't change the configuration files while UMS is running, UMS keeps a cache of the settings in memory and will save them on exit in case any parameter has changed, overwriting your edits.

We don't lock anything, but it depends on what folder you're talking about. If you're talking about the renderer configuration folder, it resides under %programfiles% and those are read-only by default for non administrators. This is Windows standard, and you can do a number of things to change it, like change the inherited permissions or turn off UAC.

There's also a folder for renderer configurations under UMS' profile folder (where UMS.conf is) and this folder is writable by default. You're supposed to put your custom configurations there while the ones in %programfiles% are those that come as standard.
