I've been experiencing bad memory leakage with 10.16 and 10.15. UMS runs out of memory, and I have to relaunch it on a daily basis. It's getting pretty frustrating to use. I should just stick with a version that works well for me and stop upgrading....

Sorry to hear about that, I'll be happy to help if you follow the instructions in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=556

Hi.
Can the differences in the "Media server engines" be described a little? Do any work better with certain TVs, e.g.?
Thanks

Good question!
For now they are mostly experimental as we try to modernize the code. So currently we use some versions of dependencies like Cling and Netty that are very out of date, and in the case of Cling, abandoned. So this is mostly an attempt to remove and update dependencies. Ultimately this should result in more UPnP features being available and better network stability, but for now use at your own risk
