Can't launch UMS
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2019 9:56 pm
Hi, I can't follow the usual guidlines for a support query for obvious reasons, given my subject title.
I installed UMS a few days ago and there was no problem with it.... but on that day alone. Ever since then I haven't been able to start UMS on my PC. I think that it is supposed to automatically connect when I start my PC. It doesn't, in fact. If I go looking for the .exe in the installation folder and click that then a dialogue box pops up asking me to choose a .conf file, (presumably it's looking for my profile?) If I navigate to the installation folder there are three .conf files there already, which are UMS.conf, VirtualFolders.conf and Web.conf. I have tried each of these in turn and with each one first it asks me to choose a language, then I am treated to the Universal Media Server Loading splash screen and that's as far as it goes. The splash screen just stays there and the software doesn't load.
I would appreciate some guidance. On that first day I did go through the whole set up process, choosing folders and settings, etc and it then streamed perfectly to my PS4, but I've gotten nothing since then.
Many thanks,
Paul
