Universal Media Server | Forum

I just tried UMSBuilder. It does the same thing as building the package with maven. After it is finished you have a .tar.gz file with the installation in it. Honestly, it's just a wrapper for the git system and maven so that a user would not have to know any git or maven commands. To be honest, the ...

Hmm ... 'mvn compile' didn't seem to do very much other than create the .class files. apollo::root:/usr/UniversalMediaServer> mvn compile [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Is there a way to build UMS in a way that it creates the files and directory structure that's included in the 'distribution.tar' ..but, not tarred and not gzipped? In other words, I'd love to have a setup in which I could build and then run UMS right away from the files that are created by the build...

I already run UMS on linux; however, I had not yet compiled on linux. So, I thought I'd try this UMSBuilder. Here is the output that I'm seeing when I try to run the build script. apollo::root:/usr/UMSBuilder-1.9.0> ./build.sh Already-up-to-date /usr/UMSBuilder-1.9.0/Maven-3.2.5/bin/mvn: 197: exec: ...

After working with it a bit, I have just a couple more questions: Is there a command to build only the ums.jar file (without creating the complete installer?) I tried 'mvn compile' but it did not recreate ums.jar. Is there a setting/command to ensure that I'm building for the correct version of java...

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually reinstalled Windows 10 fresh (not as an upgrade from windows 8) and tripled-checked that my java version matches the UMS version I downloaded. Error still occurs. What's more odd is that I also started running UMS on a linux box on my network and the SAME error...

Ahh -- thanks! I didn't think to look for other installers when the webpage did the automatic download for the latest version.

I notice that the binary packages for UMS explicitly say "Java7" -- is this a requirement? In other words, is it important to be running Java 7 to use UMS or is Java 8 functioning just fine as well? (I'm only asking because I have a very strange bug since updating to Windows 10, and I'm no...

This is perfect -- thanks so much!

I'm sorry for the lame question; however, I was wondering if I could get some clarification how to compile UMS from source on Windows. I found this thread , in which SubJunk was providing instructions for Linux: I haven't compiled it on Linux before but on Windows: You need Maven, and run the comman...
