General
Universal Media Server is a free DLNA, UPnP and HTTP/S Media Server.
We support all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and macOS.
The program streams or transcodes many different media formats with little or no configuration.
It is powered by FFmpeg, MediaInfo, OpenSubtitles, Crowdin, MEncoder, tsMuxeR, AviSynth, VLC and more, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.
It was originally based on PS3 Media Server by shagrath, and started by SubJunk, an official developer of PMS, in order to ensure greater stability and file-compatibility.

Device Support
We support any device that supports DLNA/UPnP or HTTP, including future devices.
Below is a partial list of devices that we explicitly support, which means that we have customized our support for them in order to make them work even better than they would be default.
Supported by:
YourKit supports us with YourKit Java Profiler which we use to improve stability.
Contemplate supports us with ThreadSafe, a tool for advanced static analysis for Java concurrency.
