Samsung Smart TV not finding UMS

Post by DonWatts »

My Samsung Smart TV, found the UMS once. Now it can not locate through the Source. UMS sees TV on the Status Page.
I can't play music or videos on TV from UMS.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Thanks Don

Yes, it's happening with my Samsung smart TV as well.

The problem started after I installed the latest Java 8 on March 31, but I don't know if that's be related or not.

If you're running UMS on Windows, most likely is the firewall rules (Java installer sometimes leave them pointing to an older Java version instead of the new one). Just edit them to point to the new javaw.exe location.

Wolfgan would you happen to know how to change the Java because I'm having the same problem with my smart tv as well.

Just edit the rule mentioning Java and change the program path to the newer Java executable (see http://www.howtogeek.com/112564/how-to- ... -firewall/)
