Universal Media Server | Forum

Good Day,

I've downloaded the latest UMS to try and get my damned Samsung BluRay to recognise it as a proper media source for streaming.
However, when I launched it now I get the following JAVA error

That log is not very helpful, but at a guess there could be something wrong with the database but need more information to be sure.
Could you post full trace logs, see the section in red above.

If it is the database causing the error, deleting C:\ProgramData\UMS\database would make UMS rebuild it when it is restarted.
