Universal Media Server | Forum

If you're on windows; sometimes it helps turning off the windows firewall.. let the program connect..and then turn firewall on again. (just have to do it once)

You can manually skip transcoding on the "Transcoding Settings" tab in UMS, down the bottom of that screen there is the "skip transcoding for the following extensions".
We would prefer ideally if you could provide us with logs and let us know which formats you are skipping so that we can update the config for that device, since if transcoding is happening when it doesn't need to be, that usually means there is something incorrect in the renderer configuration file

At first I'm able to connect to the UMS, but I have to disable firewall everytime.

Hm, then you need to look up the firewall rule for Java SE Binaries (javaw.exe) and set it accordingly. (allow)

One of the main reasons UMS does transcoding is for subtitles support, so the idea is that we define which things (including which subtitles) a device supports in its renderer configuration file, and then everything that doesn't match that, is transcoded. I'd be happy to work with you to improve your renderer configs so that they will work without setting that "skip transcoding" thing, as that is just a blunt override. Would you be willing to test configs if I make them?

@teidybugi please set shared folders acordingly. You have set which means that all subfolders and files in I: drive will be scanned not only folders with any media files. It really spams the log and slow down browsing.
