If you put UMS in trace mode you will see the Library Scanner process doing the scan in the logs.

Also the "ProgramData" folder is used for all users or for programs that don't have users. Using the installation directory is usually not possible as programs don't have access to write in system folders unless they are given admin access which is not needed. This video explains the diffe...

Good to know there is one available. Is it the same as the PS4 one?

Have you managed to play anything locally from the USB in it?

UMS not being detected could be several things will have to see if there is anything in the logs. See the link in my sig.

I hate it when that happens. You find a problem and go tracking it down until you accidentally fix it and are unable to reproduce

On the plus side it is now working as intended

That will fix it for you but that UserAgentSearch string is too generic to be included as a fix in UMS, and is dependant on the firmware version your Fetch is using. This should be fine for you to use as there is a very low chance that any other devices you have will match exactly and be misidentifi...

I know little about the transcoding side of things so I don't fully know what is happening, but from what I can tell it is using a tool that is part of AviSynth called DirectShowSource and it cannot understand that filename for some reason. I don't know if the problem is in that program or to do wit...

I don't know anything about the shutdown sequence but it has been a problem for a while. Usually I see errors in logs due to the ports or database still being in use when trace logs are generated because when UMS is restarted as a new process the old one is still shutting down and still using them. ...

I don't have one myself but have not heard about a media player on the PS5. Maybe there is one available on the store? If it is it will probably be the same as the PS4 version. The other way of accessing UMS would be though the web browser but this is hidden from the user on the PS5. I have seen tha...

Deleting "C:\ProgramData\UMS\database\USERS.mv.db" will reset all users. Next time UMS is run it will ask you to set up a new user.

Could you try the latest version (13.2.0) as that fixed the problem I saw in you last logs that may have been part of the problem, and post new logs.

You could also try playing that file on another renderer or using the web player to see if those have trouble with the filenames.
