Universal Media Server | Forum

This issue has been raised on another thread but nobody has responded... therefore, I'm making a new thread for this as it is causing problems for many users. After about 10 minutes of video play, the server just stops and the movie must be restarted... this happens repeatedly and constantly.

I have no idea what the real problem is, but the IOExcepton is a red herring. All it means is that the renderer closed the connection when UMS didn't expect it to. What you really want to know is WHY the renderer chooses to close the connection. That could be anything really, and unless you can debug the renderer (which isn't usually an option with commercial devices), you will probably never know why it does so.

I can be that UMS does something that it doesn't expect, and as a result it closes the connection, but that is just one possible reason.
