Universal Media Server | Forum

When it comes to external drives, you're right. UMS doesn't handle that, it's a "known issue" without an easy solution. There are two technical reasons that I know of why this doesn't work, and neither of them are trivial to solve. I think that, as every other piece of software I have inst...

So, what is it with the 'Restart Server'?
What should it be: grey, blue or red?
When should I need to click it?

The ONLY solution I found was to completely uninstall then re-install, which gave me further problems: see elsewhere. And, NO I only had / have one instance running. It did this directly after booting. Now I have other completely unrelated problems that need to be resolved. After re-installing the l...

After reinstalling I notice the 'Navigation' and Transcoding' tabs are empty.
Clearly there is an issue with this software. I never had these problems with my first install, but did have others hence the re-install.
Can anyone advise the last known working version?

Having just tried a new install due to not being able to save changes I noticed the 'Shared Content' tab 'Web Content' renews the list when deleting the last item.
I will never use any web content so I don't need these to be listed. They all deleted after my first install.

Only one instance is open. Clearly there is a problem.
Until I can get it working I am stumped.
See attached files.

Any software that does not allow the user to make changes, particularly those suggested elsewhere is not fit for purpose.
So why doesn't UMS allow for changes to be made?
Is it broken? Will it ever work?

So how do I make changes that stick Checking 'Show The "#--Transcode--#' Folder unchecks itself after closing. Surely the software should take my changes and apply them!? Who knows how to set all the options right first time? What is the point in making suggestions to change the settings when t...

ums_dbg.zip For what its worth here's the debug file. You will note that it reports an issue with port 6000. It gives this message with every port I have tried. Looking at the ports used it appears UMS creates at least 50 entries for this port. It appears that Java is waiting for something (many ti...

If it's supposed to do what the applied settings indicate, and it doesn't, then something needs rectifying.
So how can I modify settings / make changes to files to get it to do what it should?
