Maybe this method never worked as i expected OR some things have changed in UMS since i made this thing in 2016
I totally agree IP filtering is the way to go to be safe.
Many thanks for your feedback, it was helpful.

Hi

It's been a while since i messed with that thing.
What happens if you define a invalid 'folders' path in the unwanted.conf?

folders=invalid_path;
or
folders=c:\\emptyfolder;
or
By default have UMS load an empty folder.. and in your UUID config, define the folders that you want.

Those are all good ideas. I have created a new issue for it on GitHub, for part 1 https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer/UniversalMediaServer/issues/2782

Then you can do "per device-config" (based on UUID) that allows the folders and reset the features you want.

Edit: I ...

The WDTVLive can connect to network shares, are there any specific reason you want to use UMS?

Well it's not impossible, i think, UMS just can't do it.
In theory, UMS should be able to cast/push content to a DLNA player, that DLNA player could be some software on the server.

Nadahar, i just want to say thank you for being active on the forum.

Your knowledge, insights and willingness to help other users is priceless.

I believe you can use an ip filter
