Certain renderers detected only

Post by myles »

Hi

Im running UMS 5.2.2 on Windows 10 Pro x64.
Two problems...
1. UMS shows that it detects my Samsung LED TV [as a Detected Media Renderer] (wired connection) but the TV doesn't detect UMS.
2. UMS logs show that it detects my Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android) in the logs only but doesn't display it as a Detected Media Renderer in Status (No IP filter specified, access granted to /192.168.2.148). On the S4 the DLNA client Skifta does not detect UMS.

I know for sure that everything has worked fine before. I don't know whats happened.

Any help?

I managed to fix the problem. For those who run in to similar problems, the solution follows...
I had to add UMS.exe as an allowed inbound rule in Windows firewall!

Weird that UMS.exe was needed and not javaw.exe itself 8-)
