External input stream instance is null

Post by panama007 »

I had previously successfully installed and set up a UMS 9.7.2 server on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. After not using it for a month or two, I started getting an error whenever I'd try to play any file from my LG WebOS TV, or the VLC app on my phone, namely:

19:45:32 ERROR External input stream instance is null... stopping process
19:45:32 ERROR There is no inputstream to return for blah...

I downloaded the most recent version, 9.8.1, made sure to follow the installation steps again, and also deleted my ~/.config/UMS folder. I still get the same error. I've attached the zip of my logs/confs.
I appreciate your help!

Hi, thanks for the post. Does the file fail to play on the LG TV, or is it just an error in the logs?
