I reproduced the problem with a trace: 1. I started UMS client 2. I installed UMS as a Windows Service 3. I Quit UMS Client 4. I Started UMS service using the Windows Services panel 5. I started WD 6. I observed that WD could not "see" the UMS Server 7. I Stopped the UMS Windows Service us...

I just went though resolving an issue where UMS was not working. The fix was to update Java to the latest version. This fixed the problem. UMS now runs perfectly as a client on my logged-in Windows Account. However, when I install it as a service it does not work. There are no error messages. It sim...

Is there a way to configure UMS to prevent Windows from going to sleep ONLY if a media file is playing/paused on the renderer?
