Check the "Upgrade Notes" section in the main postDeFlanko wrote:Can i install this over my 2.6.5 install, in a separate folder?
Basically yes you can but a backup of the configuration folder is recommended.Reading the changelogs I noticed that 3.0.0-a1 introduced a feature "Transcoding quality automatically adjusts for content and network speed by default, allowing wireless users an easier experience"Wolfgan wrote:Lately I noticed that UMS detects several clients as having low speed (ie 6MB/s) and then when browsing the media library all files (avi, mp4, mkv) are offered as Transcoded by default instead of serving them untouched as before. Is that intended?
If yes, any way to disable this behavior and avoid this auto transcoding?
Thanks! Wolf
Looking at the code I found the logic for this behavior is probably at FFMpegVIdeo.java (https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... Video.java) but it doesn-t seem to contain any disabling logic, or disabling selection of auto quality transcoding (so a wrong assumption of speed triggers a ton of trancoding issues for me w/o being able to shut off this feature)Wolfgan wrote:Reading the changelogs I noticed that 3.0.0-a1 introduced a feature "Transcoding quality automatically adjusts for content and network speed by default, allowing wireless users an easier experience"Wolfgan wrote:Lately I noticed that UMS detects several clients as having low speed (ie 6MB/s) and then when browsing the media library all files (avi, mp4, mkv) are offered as Transcoded by default instead of serving them untouched as before.

As my client is detected as being low speed, I think UMS try to "optimize" the experience when is really not needed. How can I disable it?
Do I have to change the "Automatic" settings in the Transcoding-General options tab to any value? (ie 0, none or something like it?)
Thx, Wolf.
Thanks Subjunk. Definitely something weird is happening on my setup. Same UMS and renderers conf, a1 works like a charm offering everything OK (ie serving most of the files to my WDTV w/o transcoding, and supported formats on PS3 as expected), but a3 offer every file to be transcoded (aside for many entries if not all show as duplicates, and content cannot be rendered on the PS3).SubJunk wrote:@Wolfgan: UMS does not use its automatic detection of network speed to control transcoding quality. It only relies on your settings. Specifically the Maximum Bandwidth setting on the General Configuration tab and the Transcoding Quality setting on the Transcoding Settings tab.
