Does anyone else's copy on Windows 10 crash due to Java hogging a ton of memory and then freezing?

I cant get this to work for the life me. I downloaded the media player on PS4 and I downloaded UMS. The PS4 isn't detecting it though. What a I doing wrong?

it all depends how you have everything set up ... if you have an antivirus/firewall it could be blocking them seeing each other ... also are you running this wireless or via ethernet

more info would help us to help you

Turning off cache seems to have fixed my issues!

Am i the only one having A/V sync issues with UMS latest version on AVI files ?

I've been running into issue streaming to my PS4 using UMS 5.2.1 though not in the same way you guys are. When playing a video, it will randomly start to stutter or freeze up all together. The videos are just MP4 with AC3 audio encoding so there shouldn't be any transcoding. I am running both over a 2.5GHz wireless network, but I do not have this problem with my PS3 that is on the same network with the same video files.

Hey guys,

Any way to change Aspect Ratio? All the videos I've played on PS4 with UMS seem to be in 4:3 with black bars on the left and right. I'm running ps4 on a 32 HDTV at 1080p. / UMS 5.2.1 / Win 7

Any help is greatly appreciated

Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes - but not this configuration (see signature).
All my non-Blu-ray *.mkv videos get the pillar bars.
Extraction done with MakemKV.
