Very slow progress with updates, no REAL new features, every update after months i see is bug fixes All the issues from PS3MS - Even the main owner/developer is no longer developing his project No proper support by the companies who make TVs or PS3, SONY UK has bought Serviio tech licence Very very very slow to display folders/content on Bravia TVs No proper support, at the time of writing the forum is not working No library organisation with sources from online metadata Plugins - Are you serious to call them plugins? None work properly and has heavy strain on CPU Theres no WEB UI, running on a headless server, your really a headless chicken running it Just like one person it takes to change a lightbulb! It only takes one encoder to transcode a file. Its uses MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR, AviSynth. Theres too many encoders its very difficult to compile to linux or NAS Server.Įven the QNAP NAS admins gave up providing QPKG as mencoder doesnt work as standard for all Intel NAS boxes. Interface is too cluttered, you have to be a video tech genius to figure out what each setting do

Pro features are additional features to play Serviio on the go and set User rights. Serviio free version has maintained all DLNA features including Online Streaming. "Free" - You gotta be kidding by stating "There is a free edition but it has less features". "AC-3 remuxing (no re-encoding)", "FFmpeg DTS support", "3D SBS video support" - zip and illico should answer this "Renderer search support", "Unlimited folders on PS3 & Xbox" - Huh?

"True Motion (frame interpolation)", "Overscan compensation", "AviSynth support", "Archive support" - What? "Automatic plugin download/install" - Another planned feature

"DVD support" - Planned feature to come "Subtitles on all devices" - its coming very soon to Serviio 1.2 - comfirmed I would like to put my own stamp on it, and please free to comment. I have tried UniversalMS too and its just feels like PS3MS with a different skin Ive made a comparison post which was fair comparing Serviio v0.6 to PS3MS (I used to use both on a regular)Īfter so much frustrations im happy to say i wont go back to PS3MS ever again! It has most of PS3MS devs jumping ship to create their own Server, also bringing along ALL the issues found in PS3MS If anyone doesnt know (most likely you probably dont have to) Universal Media Server is essentially PS3 Media Server I wasnt too surprised with this article, probably made by the developers themselves.
