Re: PS4 streaming stops at ~35 minutes

For what it's worth, I have a PS4 with the latest firmware and the latest version of UMS, and I have experienced no such issue. I play mkv files that are longer than 35 minutes all the time. You're using the Media Library app, right? Are you transcoding?

I do have an issue with ffmpeg transcoding that causes me to play a file 2-3 times before it will finally start streaming. The first couple of times I try to play them all I get are the rotating PS symbols. Once it starts playing though, it plays fine.

I just recently started having this same issue(within the last 2 weeks or so). I suspect it's something in the latest PS4 software update(8.03) that's causing this for me.
