When I go to my Volumes folder, a security alert appears.

I hit OK and after some spinup delay my external drives appeared.

If you don't see that, you may have previously accidentally clicked Don't Allow.

You can go to System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> Privacy ...

Another thing, if you're seeing "allow apps to be downloaded from" with Anywhere selected, it appears you've already modified your system as related here: https://osxdaily.com/2016/09/27/allow-apps-from-anywhere-macos-gatekeeper/ and perhaps it's causing it to act differently than I see where my ...

Also, if you're still seeing notes that the app is damaged, try opening the terminal and typing:

sudo xattr -cr /Applications/Universal\ Media\ Server.app

or

sudo xattr -cr (and then drag the app into the terminal window to complete the path if stored elsewhere)

Then enter your password when ...

I'm running UMS on Monterey with Intel CPU.

Just to check. I redownloaded the UMS-10.12.0.dmg.

Mounted it and copied Universal Media Server to my apps.

Opening it or right-click-open the first time will show:

Cancel.

Then right-click-open a 2nd time and you should get:

In UMS, go to Transcoding Settings and then in the first section on the left "Common Transcode Settings", under Misc settings, add "mp4,mkv" to the "Skip transcoding for the following extensions" field.

So, it does look like if you don't rely on mplayer, mencoder or flac transcoding you may not have any issues.

Also, if you're ...

Well, one would think the programmers have some idea how they implemented things and could have some idea as to what might happen. One of them could also be running the public beta. Either way we'll find out come release day within the next few weeks. It just important to know before upgrading since ...

I only stream compatible files without any transcoding, so will those 32 bit files just not load and everything else will operate fine or will they inhibit the app from opening and functioning otherwise. If 64 bit versions cannot be added in time, it would be a good idea to detect and skip them on ...

On MacOS, Universal Media Server refuses to open with Java 9 installed. It puts up an alert saying something like it couldn't launch Java runtime.

Deleted Java 9 and reverted back to 8 and it opens again.

Maybe Min and Max Java versions need to be set so that it will still use 8 even if 9 is also ...

The language selection prompt is showing up every time UMS opens

It's only supposed to show up until you select something. What are you selecting?

Same thing is happening for me, selecting "English, United States". Even if I select "English, United Kingdom" same problem, shows up every time at ...
