Universal Media Server | Forum

I just updated from 7.01 to 7.10 and UMS won't load past the splash screen. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, clean installed and checked firewall and AV settings. The JAVA binary is showing in task manager as running, but i have no interface at all. Just a splash screen in the middle of the desktop ...

Okay, some progress. I've now negated the problem on all systems affected by it. Go into your navigation/Sharing tab and untick the "Enable the Media Library" option. Close and reopen the program. See if the issue has gone away. Apparently this is a caching issue involving the Media Library function ...

Mine is acting up since the upgrade to V7 as well. I have the default memory setting, which is somewhere around 1GB and it's breaching that during the initial startup scan. When this happens it does not release that memory even if it is done scanning. It just stays pegged slightly past the max. Task ...

Thank you very much. I'll give it a try this evening.

Yes the first two play fine and the second batch only the first file plays. Here is an excerpt from the log.
22:09:12 INFO Started playing ChillingMusic.wav on your RX-V675 A5E2AC
22:09:24 INFO Started playing mc_sich_ATRAC3_132.wav on your RX-V675 A5E2AC
22:09:25 INFO Stopped playing ...

The config file seems to have done the trick. I tested it against the MP3, m4a, and FLAC files I had readily available and all are playing correctly again.

No it was not installed as a service, just the standard installation really, with my shares added.

Thanks for the help

I am running ums on server 2012 as a service. 6.7.1 will not load (error 1) whereas the java8 version of previous builds HD no issues.

You are not alone having issues with the new builds. Since I updated from the Java 8 specific version I can no longer playback m4a files through my receiver ...

I had an issue in the past where UMS suddenly started returning errors when trying to play any m4a files through my Yamaha receiver. It would just report "Unable to Play" on the display. MP3 continued to work fine. I finally traced the problem down to running the JAVA 7 build of UMS when I had JAVA ...

Some new info. This is apparently not an issue with all M4A files. It's only a select set of them. And it does not appear to be the files themselves that are the issues. It's a problem with UMS and caching. If I reset the cache in UMS the problem immediately resolves itself and the files play again ...

Looks like this issue was not solved after all. It has since recurred multiple times. I never had any issues before this version of UMS. Also it seems to be certain files, not all m4a files that are effected. Nothing is making any changes to the files that I can detect. They have the exact same date ...
