well I can't play the music so I can do that because it doesn't show any music to play on the Xbox 360 because it doesn't detect the music folder at all

So how did you configure the location of your music folder?
Can you post logs when you are connecting from the Xbox? (because your original post does not show this)

i goto into my stuff folder on the C drive & select the folder that says music & i just tried it again & it found nothing & i hit play & then right after that i got another copy of the debug.log & i looked though the debug.log & the only thing i seen for the Xbox 360 was this: DLNA changes for Xbox 360 & i checked out the Samsung TV & it detected the music so the only that still doesn't detect the music is the Xbox 360

As I am not a developer of UMS, I don't know if that message in the log should ring any alarm bells.
Maybe a hint if you want to have the best support possible to have this sorted is to try to keep things as simple as possible when you recreate the issue; it will result in clearer debug.log.
What I mean:
-Configure UMS so that only one directory is shared.
-Only put 1 or 2 .mp3 files in the directory.
-Make sure that there is nothing else in that directory.
-Do the test trying to reproduce the issue.
-Post the debug log.

Maybe other people having had similar problems with the xbox can step in and help you out as well.

i moved the music folder out of my stuff & i added it to the Shared Folders & i moved all the music out but one Folder of music of one group & still it shows nothing at all & how do i get a Developer to help me or a person who might have had this problem with the Xbox 360 & i tired these steps also cutting this program off & on & cutting the Xbox 360 on & off & i even took & jut left 2 music files in the Music folder & still nothing showed up

I see one thing in the debug .log that worries me, the xbox is not responding to ping.
For the Samsung All share I see:
DEBUG 2013-08-08 07:56:31.263 [Thread-15] Pinging 192.168.1.5 with 64000 bytes of data:

And for the xbox I see:

So are you sure the network adapter of the xbox is properly working and configured?

Did you try pinging the xbox from your PC?

well I don't know how to ping the Xbox & on the Xbox it detect the program and it let you watch video though the program

Just start a cmd box.
And then on the command line enter:
ping 192.168.1.6

Your xbox should respond to that with something like
Reply from 192.168.1.5: bytes=64000 time=13ms TTL=64

The other part of your last response I don't really understand.
Do you mean that you are able stream movies on your xbox using UMS?

yes I can stream movies and TV shows though the Xbox 360 with this program & I did the ping in the cmd box & this is what I got:


Pinging 192.168.1.6 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out 4 times it list it & then it says this:

OK now for some reason the Music is being detected but there is a big problem you can't play any music at all it has on the screen it list the music but you have for every track a circle with a line though it & i checked the properties for the music & it list it as in Type of File: MP3 Formatted Sound (.mp3)

Ok I'm now pretty sure it is something with your xbox and the router. I googled on terms like "xbox upnp router".
It seems that xbox has some strange implementation of the upnp.
Anyway if you google you will find more info (also look/ask at an xbox forum).
In your router you should open the correct port to get upnp to work.
Most of the time there are 2 ways to achieve that:
- router has a enable/disable upnp switch somewhere in the software; set it to -enable-
- do a manual port forward on the correct port from the xbox ip towards the pc ip

Second thing to check is, how does the xbox gets it's IP address? Does it use DHCP or a static address or do you use a combination within your network?
If you use a combination, make sure that the static ip is not within the range that is used for DHCP.
