You can add to your renderer .conf the and try to transcode. It depends on your PC if it will be capable to transcode on the fly the 4K video.
Code: Select all
MaxVideoWidth = 3840
MaxVideoHeight = 2160

Please try putting this file into the renderers folder and trying it, I made it based on your manual (which are often very wrong but a good starting point https://www.sony.co.nz/electronics/supp ... 73104M.pdf)

Before you start looking at potential UMS issues, you should fix your network setup. It sounds to me like your ISP has given you a lot of wrong "advice" and that you currently have a compromised network (one that is accessible from the outside). Your local network should not be public and you should not need a public IP address unless you plan to run some kind of server that should be reachable from the internet. UMS is not such a server, it's only meant to serve the local network.
For devices to find UMS, they must all be on the same local network (and IP subnet) as the computer running UMS. This network should use private IP addresses. They way you normally achieve this is to have a router behind the modem. The modem then provides the internet access (and one, usually dynamic, public IP address) to the router, and the router "creates" the local network behind it using private IP addresses. All your devices (computers, TVs, mobile phones, etc.) then connect to the private, local network that is protected by the router and which is not accessible from the internet (but which has internet access).
These days, ISP's often provides a modem that also has a router in it. This complicates things because that often mean that the ISP will "configure" the router for you, or that you have to do it using the web service they provide. It also means that the ISP or the government or anyone that can hack their network have full access to your home network. I prefer using a separate router that is not controlled by the ISP, and to simply let the modem be a modem.
From your explanation I'm not sure if you have a router at all, or if it's built-in in the modem. You have to straighten the network stuff out before you can get anything to work, and to make sure your network isn't wide open to anyone on the internet.
There are so many possible configurations that it's hard to give general instructions about how to do this. It's not very complicated though, so anyone interested can learn what they need by searching on the internet. Most probably also know somebody that knows enough to get this working.
