many thx .apoklyps3 wrote:fixed the photos ...
Try this update (put the enclosed update.jar next to ums.jar in your UMS program folder and restart). The streams items should now show up in the shared xmb folder:apoklyps3 wrote:here is the trace:
Re: Stream m3u files
it works
now when open the m3u file there is a media inside it and it plays.
not that I'm unpleased but would like to ask if you can "shorten" the things a little in the sense that the m3u files themselves be detected as media files directly or at least the ones that have the specific tags inside:

Re: Stream m3u files
Excellent! I'll fix this in source (remember to remove update.jar at the next UMS release).apoklyps3 wrote:it works
m3u files are technically playlists and could be multi-item, hence the folder representation. In practice many/most web m3us are single-item (radio stations, etc) but since we don't necessarily know this beforehand we default to folders. You're right that for local m3us this wouldn't be a problem, it's worth considering (no promises ).apoklyps3 wrote:would like to ask if you can "shorten" the things a little in the sense that the m3u files themselves be detected as media files
Re: Stream m3u files
yeah, it would be cool if UMS could detect the type of the m3u file (local) and by contents to display it as video file or as a folder if contains multiple items.
thanks anyway.
now all I have to do is to figure why the streams take a long time load. on the PC they open in vlc in about 5 seconds for scrambled channels and 1-2 seconds for unscrambled ones. on the TV it goes to 35 seconds for both of them.

Re: Stream m3u files
Likely UMS buffering. It probably won't make any difference but try also ffmpeg, etc from the #--TRANSCODE--# folder.apoklyps3 wrote:on the TV it goes to 35 seconds for both of them
Re: Stream m3u files
yeah...it doesn't make any difference.
I don't suppose I could lower the UMS buffering time

Re: Stream m3u files
no improvement on this?
still buffers like crazy every 1s and the stream takes alot to start.
been using serviio in the meantime and it loads the streams very fast and they don't buffer. of course it would have been perfect if the serviio wouldn't fail to recognize the streams at times.
