Trying to run on Headless Machine (server)

Running UMS on an actual server... The error message complains about graphics. Not available, obviously. Elp? :/

i think headless mode is broken on 1.3.0 had to downgrade to 1.2.1 to restore functionality on my headless server

Same issue with headless being broken on 1.3.0. Downgraded to 1.2.1, issue resolved.

I think we have narrowed down what caused this bug, it should be fixed in the next version

+1 for needing the fix for headless.

One other issue I recently tracked down. .mkv files wouldn't render, and when I looked in the debug.log it ended up that it couldn't find the tsMuxer binary. I symlinked to it in /usr/bin and the problem disappeared. I may have missed something in the install instructions, but I thought I would mention it.

PS -> Thanks big time for all your hard work! It felt like PMS was stalled and going nowhere. I really like the progress you are making.

As an aside, how does one set the config path in the startup script?
"Base path set to /root/.config/UMS" is a bit wonky."

Also, if you will excuse my laziness but a quick search did not show it up - is there any way to access a GUI-based control panel to UMS with a headless and windowless server? (I am using a NAS, so I can't just run VNC and then run UMS from within.. I really want to separate the client from the server)

Kind regards to all

There has been some success with the freenas end reported - I have not experianced it yet but I am considering that direction on my next major upgrade trying to work towards to ZFS as my hardware reaches the capability to make it a reality.

Again kind regards to all in the forum as I have enjoyed the fruits of this build prior to it forking out.

Im using headless installation (UMS 3.0.0-final) on ubuntu server 13 64bits, and it works ok.
Had crashed because of low memory, but i changed it to 1024MB and will check in few days.

Im having few issues with hardcore encoded files :-) with exotic profiles etc.. but with others there is no problem on wired link

Theres no need for GUI now :-) its harder do config on start but after that gui would be useless.
