Universal Media Server | Forum

Here's a head scratcher, and I've looked everywhere and tried several suggestions and nothing. Here's the issue: UMS can't see my PS3 or my Chromecast. It CAN see the Smart TV. My wife's laptop can see all the devices. I've tried making the PS3 use wireless (I usually have it wired). I've done clean re-installs of UMS. I've checked the router to make sure UpNP is on. The PS3 can be seen as a unknown device in the Network control panel's Media Streaming Options, but it's the only place it can be sort of seen. And I've set it to allow streaming. Why can it see the SmartTV (which is crap and I hate streaming anything to it) but nothing else?

I'm going nuts. It used to work on this computer. I've used UMS for years. The PC was damaged in a move but I repaired it.

Some other info. I'm running Windows 10. My firewall is off.

Help? Please. Before I go mad.

You haven't followed the instructions properly, the log file isn't a TRACE log so the relevant information is missing. That said, I see something in the log that gives a hint of what's probably causing the problem: UMS is using a Virtual NIC, which probably isn't what you want. You can select which NIC to use on the "General Configuration" tab (Force networking interface). Try to set that to the NIC you want to use and restart UMS. If that doesn't help, generate a new log using trace mode.

Thanks, that didn't work right away until I disabled VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 and VMware Network Adapter VMnet8 in the Network Connections.

Whew!
