[Solved] Windows VLC client often can't see UMS
Posted: Thu Jun 18, 2020 5:07 am
Running UMS 9.6.2 on an Ubuntu Focal system. I have a frequent but not 100% reproducible issue where VLC on a Windows box in the LAN doesn't show UMS under any of the "local network" media options (mDNS Network Discovery, Network Streams (SAP), or where I'd expect it -- "Universal Plug'n'Play"). Sometimes restarting UMS fixes it but not always. Based on the trace log, it appears UMS is seeing the query:
But still nothing shows up on VLC.
Another possibly related problem is a Sony PS3 on the network usually sees UMS but when I navigate to the folder structure, the PS3 spins until it times out and no media options appear. Restarting UMS usually fixes this symptom.
Any ideas? I've attached a trace log and my (mostly standard) conf file. The VLC client is at 192.168.1.200 in this trace, and IP of the server is 192.168.1.2. The server is connected to the LAN via Ethernet, while the client is on WiFi. No tweaks have been made to any renderers.
