Unknown device

Post by lcbqc »

Hi,

This product is amazing! As I started the program my PS4 was detected with another device. How can I find what is this device ? I didn't have any other computer open in my house, my gf and I both have smartphones (android and iphone) could that be it ? I'm a beginner at this.

Thanks,

Louis

Every renderer has its own MAC and IP address visible in UMS GUI or debug.log
So the easiest way how to find what device probably it is is using Android's app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... droid.fing
Rescan your WIFI network and you will see devices connected there with IP and MAC addresses. It also displays possible device vendor (via MAC) or you can tag it by own.
Very useful tool to search for connected devices in your network (like mobiles, printers, PC, NTB, TV, NAS,...).
Btw. you can also read the debug.log where you should find info how the unknown device announces itself.
