Not sure if that's a bug with the PS4 Media Player or UMS. The Finnish subtitles option (the next one after the English subtitles option in the listing) showed the Finnish flag with a white border. It showed the Finnish flag with a black border around it instead of the British flag like I would expect.

Interestingly, when I was testing this to generate the log file, I noticed that, in the #TRANSCODE# menu, the ffmpeg English subtitles option had the wrong flag icon. (MEncoder doesn't seem to work either, as I reported in issue #1593.) This is with the 'Defer to MEncoder when transcoding problematic subtitles' option turned off in the ffmpeg Transcoding Settings, by the way. The only way to get it to play is to go into the directory's '#TRANSCODE#' menu and explicitly select the FFmpeg option without any subtitles. If I try to play an mkv file with multiple embedded subtitle tracks that requires transcoding using ffmpeg on my PS4, it doesn't work. Just never got around to reporting it until now. This is with UMS 7.4.0, but I had the same issue with 7.3.0 and 7.3.1, fwiw. Speed is not irrelevant in this context, but http is just as fast, if not faster.Ffmpeg version N-90990-g652b857b94-tessus Do you see a lot of transcoding samba media servers? No, because it's the wrong tool. It's lightweight and the support for media devices is near universal, way way better supported than samba. Most importantly it supports a notification protocol for media list changes. DNLA supports a well defined caching and simple announcement/locating peer protocol. It's insane that someone would loathe it so much.Īs a streaming service, it's quite terrible. Samba is great for people that half multiple types of devices and content that they want easy access to on their home network. I get fantastic speeds through my gigabit route so it doesn't seem to slow anything down. The fact that it's proprietary makes them extremely universal. XBMC (or Kodi as it's called now) handles them well. My media box (popcorn hour a-400) handles SAMBA extremely well. We have a PC and a few laptops in the house and it makes it insane easy to access those files on other devices (using windows explorer or program). IE I share my temp and media directories over samba. Zod wrote: ↑Samba is awesome when you need multiple tasks. My router (Asus A66) has a USB port for the hard drive, can I use it from there to play on the PS4? Is that basically what a media server is? How would I make the drive show up on PS4 from the router? I don't really know how a media server works honestly. I just tried last night, my USB drive doesn't work either (NTFS, with some shows like Fresh Prince, Simpsons, etc.).

Well, maybe it's just something that needs a few more updates.

Also apparently stutters on high bit rate 1080p rips (again, reported by others).

So, we have a Japanese piece of hardware that can't play multi language tracks (as reported by others, you can't select other languages) nor play subtitles? So, ripping my anime DVD collection into an MKV format will be pretty useless at this point.

Just tested Mezzmo with my XB1 and that will play the ISOs transcoded by Mezzmo with full subtitle support streamed over my network! C'mon Sony.get on the ball. Also, tried playing some movies from the Plex server.

Looks like I keep my WDTV box awhile yet. DougO wrote: ↑ Akk!! Won't play from my external powered hard drive in NTFS! Won't play ISOs either streamed through Mezzmo or directly on a drive.
