Problem switching to new GUI
I am using the web gui in 14.5.0 but would prefer the old interface. I assume it is no longer available. Used the system for years but cannot fathom new GUI. I am getting this error:
Exception in PlayerApiServlet: Cannot invoke "net.pms.store.StoreResource.getId()" because "filterByInformationFolder" is null
What setting is wrong?

Re: Problem switching to new GUI
Could you post your logs (see the section in red above)
At a guess if you updated from an old version then the database may not have been updated correctly.
Might be better to do a clean install or delete the database so a new one can be built.
The old GUI is still there. Just right click the tray icon and select settings(old)
This will not be updated with new features as it is too much work to change and none of the current devs have that much experience with this where as they can easy make changes to the web GUI. Also the web GUI allows you set it up and manage on a remote computer which is not possible with the old one.

Re: Problem switching to new GUI
Thanks for your help. I deleted all my databases and renamed the conf. The latter got it going again. I switched my firewall off but my TV is NOT seeing UMS. I deleted .config/UMS No renderers are detected. Ubuntu (22.04) Gnome has not been good with UMS tray for a while. I can no longer see any tray to allow me to get the old gui. For a week I have been using minidlna from the Ubuntu repos. It is working fine for all my renderers (BubbleUPnP, Samsung TVs and Sony TV) I should no longer need to do updates. I fear UMS has become too complicated for me. Thanks again for trying to help me.
