Hello,

Please forgive me if this is not the proper place to report this problem.

I'm running UMS 6.0.0 on a headless linux machine and it works perfectly with the PS3.

We recently got a new AppleTV and installed the VLC app. When I try to connect to the UMS "share" I got a blank screen.

The logs show this line: I'm not UMS expert, maybe tweaking the Apple-iDevice-* files it should be easy to fix but I don't have the knowledge to do it.
I would love any help that you can provice.

I attached the full TRACE logs of my UMS for help.

thanks!!

No luck with this one? am I the only one with this problem?

I don't use VLC on Apple TV, but you may try to create an specific profile for you using http://www.universalmediaserver.com/faq ... erSupport1 using any of the existing renderer templates (as in https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... /renderers)

Looks like they took "Darwin" out of the config I updated last year.

I'd suggest editing Apple-iDevice-VLC.conf, either make a copy first (if you don't the next UMS update may overwrite your changes) or just edit the line for UserAgentSearch to the following: edited for clarity and fixed regular expression

If you want UMS to transcode
Apple-iDevice-VLC.conf or if you want to skip transcoding
Apple-iDevice.conf That VLC app is really slow at building/retrieving the director structure and you might have to tap the center of the remote to force it? Try the Infuse app instead.

Hi guys, support for VLC on Apple TV will be added in the next version of UMS, please feel free to improve that profile. Their changelog says they added support for AC-3 audio but when I tested that didn't work so we still need to transcode that. We should monitor the updates in case they really fix it since that's a popular audio codec causing a lot of transcoding.
