Latest logs with SQUADJOT version - clean install

1st debug log is of trying to play default play option ( fails, server disconnects )
2st debug log is playing the file in transcode folder (works) - then i return to default option, which fails when i try to play it. ( playback not available)
3rd debug log, i disabled the "remux with tsMuxer.." option, and the default option plays as expected.

squadjot-3 debug logs

1st - Debug log after clean install, i try to play default option twice (i try right after it fails first time).. then i go to transcode folder and plays mencoder/subrip ...from there everything just works. Meaning if i go back and play the default option, or OTHER files that coudnt play before.. suddenly works as expected. (muxable h264 with external srt, plays with mencoder)
2. After complete shutdown, restart of UMS , everything still works.
3. Clean install again , this time i try the default option..which fails.. but i wait a bit more.. and select another file which plays right away.. (both files h264 with srts)

so.. conclusion. If i try play default option on a muxable h264 with external subtitles.. it will fail.
If i wait a bit..and just restart the file.. it starts as expected!, + other files can play as well. - basically, from there the problem is fixed entirely.

Edit: I've experienced before (before UMS), that files would not play on first try.. but that was on VERY rare occasions (and non reproduceable) so i ignored it..

Imo..this is the bug, just, this time i could reproduce the error. So this "first time/fail - second time/success" is an "old" bug (i think)..but something in 2.2.1 really made it really kick in.
Luckily, it's really a minor issue now, if it's just a matter of very first try will fail... still would be good to find out what goes wrong.. hope this info can help clear it up.

ok, problems in this thread seems gone with 2.5.1
Files play..and SRT are prioritized (atleast on my Bravia.. not on WDTVlive)

Only downside is..javaw seems to hang again
