PMS-Everything works, UMS-Nothing works

I stream to a PS3 with a wired 100mb connection. I had PMS installed and every filetype I had stored on my computer ran fine (both on Windows 7 and Linux Mint). I see on Lifehacker about UMS and since there hadn't been much in the way of PMS updates, I figure why not... Well UMS has been a nightmare!

Some mp4's will play, but not all (seems if the filesize is bigger than a gig, no luck at all in playing).
mkv's will not play at all.
mpg's will not play at all.
avi's will not play at all.

What the heck?

UMS is the PMS on steroids so if nothing works I bet there is some generic error. So pls upload logs (look at the top of this topic)

Will see what I can do. With neither OS working, I removed the software and reinstalled PMS.

That's strange as I also stream to a PS3 via a 1 Gb network from a Win 7 box. For me 4.2.x has been the best media server so far. It has played pretty much everything I have (mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, ts) with and without subtitles. I also haven't had an A/V sync issue in a while too.
