Need some help getting started (no media found)

Post by bryanb »

I have set up this UMS software on a computer running Fedora 18. It seem to run fine when I execute the shell script to run the service, and the management console.

I have dropped a folder containing some .avi xvid files into my home directory->Videos folder.

UMS detects both my WD TV Live, and a second computer I have set up running XBMCbuntu. Haven't tried the WD Live yet. But on the XBMCbuntu box, I see the shared Videos folder, and the one inside of it. Inside the sub-folder should be my videos, but I don't get that. I get a folder called #....TRANSCODE----#, it what it looks like on my poor 480i TV screen. Inside that, is a folder for every video I have, and nothing in that.

What have I missed here?

thanks.
