I just ran the new release 6.0.0 and on El Capitan it complains that I need Java 6 SE, is this a bug or correct behaviour? Java 8 is the version that the windows release requires.

That must be a bug, we have dropped Java 6 support some versions ago. Java 7 or Java 8 should work.

Doesn't sound right at all. Appbundler (which builds the .app and the launcher) is built with Java 7 for maximum comparability for Java 7 and 8. It only launches for these versions (7 and 8) and apple stopped bundling java 6 with OS X some time ago.
If you can attach a screen shot of the error its giving it would be great

I too have just installed the latest version of UMS and are having problems to do with Java on Mac OS10.11.3
Completely uninstalled UMS
I then completely uninstalled ALL VERSIONS of Java.
I then installed the latest Java Version 8 Update 73
Installed UMS version 6 but it complained it needed Java 6SE
I uninstalled UMS again
I then installed OS X 2015-001 which installs the legacy Java 6 runtime for OS X 10.11 El Capitan
Installed UMS version 6
Now the error message is "The application “Universal Media Server.app” can’t be opened"
I then uninstalled UMS version 6 and installed UMS 5.2.2 and all works fine.
So there is a problem with UMS version 6
