Thema: Universal Media Server

[SiLæncer]

Universal Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server. The program streams or transcodes many different media formats with little or no configuration. It is powered by MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR and AviSynth, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.

Universal Media Server is based on PS3 Media Server by shagrath. It is actually an evolution of the "SubJunk Build" of PS3MS. UMS was started by SubJunk, an official developer of PS3MS, in order to ensure greater stability and file-compatibility.

Because it is written in Java, Universal Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
