No it's a bit tricky and until we get the improved plugin installer in place it will stay that way :(. However there isn't anything that can't be workedaround :). Do like this
1) Install the latest PMS-SHB (http://code.google.com/p/sharkhunter-sh ... e&can=2&q=)
2) Install UMS
3) From the PMS-SHB install folder copy the directory called "extra" and place it in the UMS install folder instead.
4) Copy everything from the plugins folder of PMS-SHB to the plugins folder of UMS
5) Edit the UMS.conf to reflect your paths.
At least these line should be added:

Code: Select all

channels.path=extras\\channels
channels.debug = true
pmsencoder.script.directory=extras\\scripts

Forgot that you (probably even if channels might fix it for you) add

Code: Select all

engines = pmsencoder,mencoder,avs....
That is make usre that pmsencoder is FIRST in the engines list...

The channels.debug=true line is to enable debug prinouts and improve bug hunting. It will not help in any way to make it work.

Actually it "works" :).
These line from pmsencoder.log informs us that Channels has found the media links. However the streams you are trying to watch comes from unsupported hosts (like gorillavid).

Code: Select all

nvoking matcher for: http://gorillavid.in/39cet7a4konc
2012-06-10 23:23:27 [INFO|PMSEncoder|launchTranscode|New I/O server worker #1-4]: 0 matches for: http://gorillavid.in/39cet7a4konc
Try some that SHOULD work (180upload worked when I tried now, can be found via IceFilms).

still not working for me, i have tried icefilms on my android phone and i can get to the file and ums starts saying serving the video then stops.

However when i go through my ps3 i can get to icefilms-> tvshows->f->franklink and bash-> and click on it but says no sources found while android finds them.

Any ideas?

You've hit the folder limit. There is a workaround (within the UMS). Add "folder_limit=true" to your UMS.conf. And you'll see a folder called "Folder Limit" in the root of your tree. Once you hit the folder limit you can continue browsing from there.

I'll write a longer explanation on this later...
