Universal Media Server | Forum

Thanks!

I ended up going the very lazy route of just using 11.6 instead. It works great

I did a fresh install.

I don't see SHARED.conf anywhere. Not in the tarball (UMS-Linux-14.11.0-x86_64.tgz) and starting it as a service doesn't seem to generate it.

There used to be a section in UMS.conf to specify shared folders (I believe I was last using UMS 10):


# Shared folders
# --------------
# Either define a list of specific folders containing media to be shared or
# allow the system to browse the whole disk of the server. The GUI provides a ...

Reinstalled CentOS 8 because why not. Did have to make selinux changes, so there was some sort of selinux issue after all.
I've attached install instructions to the first post.

I figured out where I went "wrong" with my installation. Because of the previous installation, when I clicked "Click here to create them automatically" under the Manual Partitioning portion of the installation wizard, it saw the previous installation and didn't jump to a default partition plan (when ...

Strange. It doesn't like when media is under /home.

I moved everything to /archive instead of /home/crimson30/archive and it's working.

And yes, I had everything fully pathed in UMS.conf (I just used ~ as shorthand when posting).

Anyway, it would seem that most of my problems stemmed from putting ...

I temp set selinux to permissive with setenforce Permissive and it's still giving me that WARN 12:12:32.666 [main] "/home/crimson30/archive/~library4-mov" does not exist. Please remove it....

I've tried chmod -R 777 /home/crimson30/archive/~library4-mov

...and I still get that problem. And it ...

I did find that adding lines to ~/.config/UMS/UMS.conf did effect UMS.conf changes, however , by making changes to selinux, I could instead edit /etc/ums/UMS.conf

I figured something out: CentOS 8 seems to have changed something about its selinux setup (another possibility is that it's something to ...

Some headway: I tried running /opt/ums/UMS.sh and got more verbose output showing that it couldn't write to /home/crimson30/.config/UMS/UMS.conf

After chmod on /home/crimson30/.config/UMS/UMS.conf, it's working by directly running ./UMS.sh but still not getting the directory right.

Any ideas on ...

When I run strace /opt/ums/UMS.sh /etc/ums/UMS.conf , the media server is visible to other computers, but the folders are incorrect.

If I run the service, it doesn't work.

By the way, this is what I'm using that has worked in the past for /etc/systemd/system/ums.service:
