HTTPS mode, and BUMP?

Post by Alby87 »

Hi All!

I installed UMS in a Linux Machine, installed Jumpy, and tried the BUMP bookmarklet. I can use it from the folders webpage (the 9001), but not from Youtube (that is a HTTPs, and there is a warning about the HTTPS in the BUMP installation page), for example.

I would really like to trasmitt the audio from a youtube video to a DLNA radio render. Thanks :D

It used to be possible to switch youtube urls to http, but this doesn't work any more. You need to run the UMS web interface over https so that your browser will allow bump.js to be loaded on other https pages. Here's the procedure:
  • Generate a self-signed keystore file called UMS.jks in the ums program folder with the java keytool commandline utility (using this password).
  • Add this setting to UMS.conf:

    Code: Select all

    use_https = true
  • Restart ums.
  • Delete and regenerate the bump bookmarklet so it now points to the new https address.
Note that your browser will warn you that the ums web interface at https://UMS_IP:9001 is 'unsafe' because its certificate is self-signed and can't be verified with an independent certificate authority. Once you're connected to the web interface the bump bookmarklet will work on youtube and other https sites (as long as you have jumpy to act as a resolver for the youtube urls, which you've already taken care of). I've been using ums this way for a long time now :).
