Universal Media Server | Forum

Hi there!

I am using UMS as a server in headless mode.

I made a script to restart it periodically, but i do not want to restrt it while it is being "used". Is there a way to query how many clients are connected to it and/or if it is streaming a content?

Thank you

There's no way to query it at all.

You can try using output from netstat. If port 5001 (9001 for web client) is connected, that would indicate a client is connected to UMS.

Great idea, thank you!
