Based on your debug.log I think you have two issues: 1. a firewall issue on your Windows 8 machine where you run UMS. 2. a renderer detection issue To quickly check issue 1 you can temporary disable your firewall on windows 8 and see if directories show up on wmp. If this is the issue, search the fo...

Good to hear that you want to improve search facilities and making information more accessable with the right tooling. :) If I look at the current FAQ page, I think it serves it's purpose pretty well; even simple browser ctrl-F will find me what I want. What I'm missing is an overall page that categ...

Over and over again I see people struggling to get UMS configured and failing. I'm sure a lot of people give up and don't experience what a great product UMS is because of simple hardware or firewall related issues.

It might be the case that it's related t...

NIC=Network Interface Card Usually the ports on your router are open for any internal (local) network travel. Port forwarding on your router is only required if your client initiates the connection coming from the internet (outside your local network). But before going into firewall problems, you co...

Looking at your log, UMS starts ok and is listening on the default port 5001. There are no errors. So based on that I would say you have a problem with the network. It's either related to your router, nics or firewall. So for your nics it's always a good idea to install the latest drivers. Also chec...
