Re: Version 9.7.0 released
Is it normal for ums to have constant network traffic when idle? It constantly opens and closes a ton of low ports just sitting there.
Re: Version 9.7.0 released
Thanks

Thanks

We will need more details about it to say whether it's normal. We do have regular network traffic but I can't say whether everything you're seeing is normal without knowing what you're seeingchickyboom wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 7:53 am Is it normal for ums to have constant network traffic when idle?

Re: Version 9.7.0 released
OK well here's what I'm seeing concerning the constant traffic:

It's definitely more than the keep alive, since I already changed that to 2 minutes instead of it's default of 10 or so seconds.
UPDATE:
I found the cause, it's my Samsung smart tv that UMS is constantly communicating with like that. If I turn off the tv, or quit UMS, that traffic stops.
Question is, why does it work this way? Something like SimpleDLNA doesn't do this.

Re: Version 9.7.0 released
We would need logs to see details about what the communication is between the TV and UMS. DLNA does involve a question and answer style of communication - we respond to things the TV asks us.chickyboom wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 3:40 pm OK well here's what I'm seeing concerning the constant traffic:
