Most likely you have some permission error that don't let you write the log file. Change permissions.

It has nothing to do with permissions.
I'm running as Administrator and the file pmsencoder.log is created in C:\ProgramData\UMS
I've deleted it and it has been created again when I run UMS.
Same plugin with same permission runs perfect in PS3 Media Server.

The fault is described here http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/NoCl ... 20093.html and in short it's the new java has done some change to HashMap which groovy can't cope with. So your options are to either use java7 or try and fix PMSEncoder to work under java8.

PMSEncoder is incompatible with current UMS even if you get past this bug, the codebase has diverged and it would need patching.

I've removed Java 8 and installed Java 7.
Now I get a different exception with PMSEncoder.

Read infidels last post again. UMS has diverged a bit from PMS and PMSEncoder will most likely not work with UMS.

Maybe you should remove it from your plugins link in the help tab?
Me I am back to PMS since I only need it for PMSEncoder.

Exactly which function of PMSencoder is it you use. We/I have move most of the functionallity into UMS and other plugins.

I am streaming from SopCast to my PS3 using PMSEncoder.
If you have a solution for this I'd be happy.
