Main program seems ok: seek function is now working again on my panasonic G20. Still some problems with Movieinfo plugin.
Moreover noticed that Web movies (I’ve tried apple trailer resources) has no audio.

I had troubles with sputtering playback on linux, both fedora and ubuntu (approx from version 1.20 onward). The videos would skip forward and backward, or it would appear jittery. I found the fix for this was to edit the PMS.sh file. At the end of the file there is this code:

exec “$JAVA” $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx768M -Xss1024k -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

I changed it to:

exec “$JAVA” $JAVA_OPTS -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

I have 8 gigs of ram so allotting 2 gigs to the media server isn’t a biggie and I’m sure it’s total over kill. The main thing is changing the code specifying the minimum amount of ram from -Xss to -Xms. After that all problems solved except the rare mkv that won’t play(which I don’t care about at all) I hope this might help resolve some issues for the Linux users! 🙂
