The issue is already known and the subject of a few other threads and the team is working on resolving the issue. I run UMS 24/7 on a Gentoo Linux headless server. I found that turning off cachin...

Any chance of making UMS work with one of the current releases of Mediainfo in one of the upcoming updates.
Mediainfo 0.7.97 is quite old now.
