download the new version for android Universal Media Server 13.8.0

Here's FFmpeg for Android.įor example, my Honor 7 phone contains a 8 core ARM CPU (Quad-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53) and a Mali-T628 MP4 GPU which is also an 8 core processing unit. UMS relies basically on mencoder an ffmpeg for the transcoding work, and I don't think those are available for any mobile platform (VLC ported its player to the mobile world just recently as an example). To be honest, i don't think any mobile CPU/GPU is powerful enough for transcoding (most of the video work on those devices are implemented in GPU or special media sections of the SoC), so low level access is required for performance oriented apps like transcoding.

And no subtitle settings to select hardcoding.

UMS is basically Java code, and Android can run Java, so I think it could be possible with minimal-ish effort to port UMS to Android.Īlso, I experimented with BubbleUPnP a little more, and it's not transfers any subtitles to the TV. That's why I thought that my phone is more than powerful enough to transcode the movies and stream it to my TV. And I don't want to buy a new TV either which can handle external subtitles through DLNA (for example Samsung, Philips or LG). I installed the Serviio to my NAS, which is capable to hardcode the subtitles (like UMS on my PC), but the CPU in the NAS is not powerful enough (800MHz) to do this in a normal time (a 40 minutes, 720p movie's transcoding takes more than 10 hours). Thank you for your suggestion, I tried it, but it's not possible to add custom media source (the shared folders of the NAS) to BubbleUPnP.ĭoesn't your NAS support ReadyMedia/miniDLNA?
