I knew I saw this error before, but could not remember where. This is a bug that has already been fixed for the next version. I found out that if you turn off the external network option then this will allow UMS to initialize the web settings properly. I only found this out yesterday as I was hit wi...

It is definitely a bug in UMS not windows. The cause was fail to download apiImageBaseURL (SocketTimeoutException), so json data was null (NullPointerException). but may have been down to not handling a date properly, or some service went down that UMS was using and there was nothing to catch that e...

I tried going back a version and did not fix it for me either. It might be a time based bug as it seemed to happen to everyone at the same time.

This is caused but a bug that had just hit me too when I was testing some things. ERROR 2023-02-01 14:05:04.096 [main] net.pms.PMS A serious error occurred during Universal Media Server initialization: Cannot invoke "com.google.gson.JsonElement.isJsonObject()" because "element" i...

OK I managed to get it to work on Win10. First I opened CMD and went to the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\jre17\bin" where the keytool is I ran this command keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigned -keystore UMS.jks -validity 360 -keysize 2048 and it promoted m...

I think the UMS.jks file will be unique to your system so using someone else's will not work, that is why you need to use keytool.
Also it would be like giving someone your keys to your house.

I believe there is support for HTTPS but there is no GUI options for that at the moment and I can't remember seeing any guides on how to set it up. This is the setting in UMS.conf # Use HTTPS (SSL) for web player connection # ---------------------------------- # Whether the web player should use HTT...

From here . You can reset the user and password by quitting UMS and deleting C:\ProgramData\UMS\database\USERS.mv.db (not sure where this is on other systems) This will prompt you to create a new user and password when UMS next starts. I have just tested this and it does work, no need to delete the ...

I already reported this , seems the media library option toggles the use_cache option instead of show_media_library_folder . This explains why browsing was slow for me as I don't use the media library so turned it off when I installed v12, which turned off the cache instead. There are also several o...

Will need to see logs to be sure (see the section in red above) but it may be that you have the "Enable external network" or "Use info from our API" options turned off under External outgoing traffic section of the General settings.
