The standalone Windows x86 version is bundled with the x64 version of Java. When I try to run it with the x86 Java Runtime, it simply does not start.

It also only includes ffmpeg64.exe.

Thanks for reporting this. I am currently working on a fix

Yes if the program is still visible on the computer but just not showing up on the TV, and a OS restore fixes it, it is likely a firewall configuration issue.

I've seen that CPU issue after startup lately too and have been meaning to look into it

Two issues with this version: 1 The standalone player runs a Java install once the main UMS install is finished. Defeats the purpose of "Use a standalone version if you do not want to have Java installed" 2 UMS 8.1.0 still adds the "Engine Names" to the front of a file name like 8.0.1. This messes ...
