Just to confirm this is happening with versions:

3.1.2
3.1.2.1
3.2.0
3.3.0

I think the common cause here is mplayer and the mencoder version. So I will roll mplayer\mencoder back progressively a few versions to see if that affects it.

I would start with disabling plugins, because those gave errors:

That would definitely not be good for UMS or the upnp players...

If i remamber corectly all those info are in debug.log at:
~/.config/UMS/debug.log


Yep cool I found it. Ok so running the same command produces this output:

Hi,

I have Fedora 20, latest svn build of mplayer/mencoder, ffmpg git etc and the latest version of UMS.

But whenever I try playing a movie on a tablet or mobile (where it has been detected as a phone or airplay device), it wants to use mencoder and it just sits there loading and doesn't play ...
