Thank you,
I was looking for a checkbox that would disable transcoding, I didn't notice there was a field for excluding extensions. I set the wildcard
* and it seems to be working. To play it safe, I also emptied the subtitle settings, audio settings, disabled thumbnails, removed folders such as
#--Transcode--#, Media Library, Live-Subtitles, etc. Basically anything I could find that might speed things up and make it so I'm only served the hierarchy of folders/files.
A few questions;
1) Is there a way to disable conf files in order to speed up browsing? It seems that when browsing folders, UMS will try to detect if each file in that folder can be played on the render. This really slows down browsing, especially when there are hundreds of files to be checked in the folder...
Code: Select all
...
13:32:54 DEBUG Final verdict: "Cat Soup (2001).mkv" will be streamed since it is forced by configuration
13:32:55 DEBUG Final verdict: "Chronus (2014).mkv" will be streamed since it is forced by configuration
...
2) Under the
Shared Content tab, there's a column that says
Name. I'm curious if that's used to override the name of the shared-folder. I have 2 shared folders, both named
Media, but they're on different drives. When I access the DLNA server from within Kodi, there's not really a way to tell them apart. I'd like to avoid renaming them directly if possible.
3) Is there a way to disable the http server? I saw the setting in
UMS.conf to disable the webplayer, but not one to disable the http server entirely.
4) Is backing-up the
UMS.conf file enough to retain all configurations across computers? The file-manager in Kodi shows the server name as having a long and unique looking string (
upnp://5051fc03-2b09-4987...). I'm curious if that ID will change between windows installs, which I think will mean I'll have to scrape everything all over again in Kodi.
