Re: Another program is using port 500X, which UMS needs.

There would be no point in using a random port - the "old" port is supposed to be released with you quite UMS. It sounds to me like you're trying to run multiple instances at once, maybe you have installed it as a service in addition to running it "manually"?

This is caused by the service. You should not install UMS as a service unless you know exactly how to use it. When running UMS as a service it must be managed by editing text configuration files, no GUI is available.
It sounds to me like your service uninstallation didn't work properly, run "services.msc" and check if you find UMS in the list. If the service has been uninstalled, it should NOT be in the list. Please note: A reboot is usually required to remove a Windows service completely.

I was having many problems with UMS errors on the TV something to the effect of "unable to locate server" and "no playable files found". On the General Settings tab I added 52323 to the Force port of the server (5001 by default). I have not had those problems since. Now my only problem is to get Resumed Files to play, it always says File is corrupt or not supported.
