[Solved] UMS Security based on uuid?
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 1:49 am
I've been playing around with the security options, and it works aslong it's based on IP adresses. ( Also tried Pincode, but never got that working. Seems unstable and not very intuitive to use)
Anyways, filtering devices by IP works as expected, the problem is on my network the devices get new IP's all the time. Therefore i seek a way to do things by uuid.
Let's say i'm on a network in a house with my friends. There's a shit-ton of devices, and all i want to make sure that only i can watch my content.
As far as i can see, one way to do it would be to have only one renderer config that catches ALL devices ( that we presume is "unwanted" devices )
unwanted.conf
This will disable all features, and all renderers using this config will not be able to see any content.
Then i create a uuid based config for each of the devices i want to allow. (Click on the device icon on the Status tab in UMS, and the click the small document in upper right corner to create a conf for that device, based on it's uuid)
I found out that ;
Configs based on uuid must be placed in: C:\ProgramData\UMS\renderers
Configs based on UserAgent must be placed in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server\renderers
