Universal Media Server | Forum

I've tried both XBMC and Plex, and both work perfectly fine where UMS still refuses to work properly. While both are good i much preferred Plex, so i will be sticking with that, it's a shame as UMS looks like a nice simple server that could be useful on several other devices.

I've tried WMP each step of the way since as originally posted i'm also having problems with it, it does pick up the server but shows no folders, this was also the case after a fresh install of windows with windows firewall disabled.

The only difference is it is now more readily picking up my Home Theatre System. I've tried using a minimal network as you suggested and have also tried having my PC directly connected to the HTS via cat6, still no go.

After giving up for a few days i decided to try and get it working again. This time i did a complete format and re-installation of Windows 8.1. With nothing installed but system drivers, java 7 and Universal Media Server, and disabling windows firewall... it still doesn't work.

Thanks SpeedyQ, i was able to ping 10.0.0.10 fine and Fing also picked up 10.0.0.10, but it did not show the UMS service though it did pick up the machine running it. I checked my router and uPNP is enabled and i made sure javaw.exe and ums.exe were allowed through my firewall. Unfortunately i can't ...

Thanks for the reply. I had made an exception for UMS in my firewall but as per your suggestion i turned it off completely but the folders and files still won't show in WMP. My Home Theater system is actually on 10.0.0.10, 10.0.0.6 is a NAS that is set up for nothing but storage and has no rendering ...

I'm using UMS 3.3.0 and i can't get it to work with ym Sony Home Theatre System, the server just will not show up no matter what i try. I can get the server to show up in WMP, but it doesn't display any folders or files. I have attached my debug files, any help would be greatly appreciated.
