Seems there is an issue with the autoupdate routine the attached file explains it best... I don't know how many windows it tried to spawn but I couldn't keep up before it crashed my system.

I am curious if anyone else was having issues with the LG Bluray players?

First it shows up in UMS as an LG TV which I can understand as the OS on the player is the same one they install on their smart tv's. (Linux distro) But if a file is transcoded you can't fastforward or rewind the stream ...

UMS still fails to self update on Windows 8 64 Bit.

I have stopped UMS relaunched it with Run as Administrator let it download but it errors out saying I will have to download it manually. But I go to the UMS folder on the drive and launch the new version file and it updates normally with the ...

How are you mapping the Seagate? Also are you trying to use UMS running as a service? As the service will run in the context of the computer not a user so it can't access drives mapped as a user.

But ones with H264 compression have issues as they show as 0 MB in size and don't play but they are good as I can play them on the PS3 from the same server. I didn't have a lot of time last night to work on this but will try and ...

Cool been away for a few weeks so I will give the update a try this evening... Thanks All...
