Thanks! Updating and testing it now...

testing as well, 2 things not quite working right:

>The main window saves its size and position
it works but once you maximize the window, quit the server and relaunch it, the window size is not what it was before maximizing and is not maximized on start.

it fills the desktop but the title bar is up high above the screen and the bottom part of ums is hidden behind the taskbar.

essentially keep the "normal" size for future ref in ums.conf and window mode (normal, maximized).

right now it just looks like ums reads the screen resolution and messes it up.

the other problem is here viewtopic.php?p=20832#p20832

Recent UMS user and really impressed. What I have noticed after two upgrades now is that UMS seems to forget to auto-start with Windows after the upgrade. This happened when I upgraded to 5.2.3 and now to 5.3.0. Both times I chose a clean install, and UMS shows in the auto-start. Any ideas?

Windows 10 64 bit running UMS Java 8.

EDIT: Complete removal of the older version and all traces and a clean install doesn't resolve the auto-start issue either.

The OSX version doesn't work for me. I can't even start the app. I'm still on Snow Leopard; maybe it does not support Java 7?

Hi guys, I have a problem with a new 5.3.0. Most of my video files won't open. Videos that worked flawlessly on 5.2.3. I have to use transcoding, which is no fun at all. My TV just say that "file could not be read" or something like that. I've attach two debug zips. Any ideas? I've installed(and reinstalled) both with "clean install" option checked and I haven't alter any of the default settings after installation expect for navigating it to my movie folder on my PC. I have latest Java8 installed and I've tried both Java7 and Java8 version of 5.3.0.

No *.ISO or *.VOB streaming anymore in UMS:

Is the issue still unsolved or is this intended and on purpose?

This revision has the same problem playing some Blu-rays (3:10 to Yuma,et.al.).
It was reported in the 'Mac OS' forum:

FWIW, I've been searching the forums for a solution to this as well. Taken the same steps as well as trying to install as a service. No luck.

That being said, I love this program.

Same thing also happening to me on win10, no auto start joy anymore in last few versions
