Universal Media Server | Forum

This is a known bug and should be fixed in the next version.
The problem happens when the cache has been disabled and turning it back on will fix it.

I have a similar problem: trying to play videos from my PC on the LG TV. I can see my PC as connected devide, but "No files exist" displays when I select it.

How do you enable the cache as explained in previolus solution ?

Thankls

The Enable cache option is in the "navigation settings" tab under the virtual folders/files section

Mik_s thanks for your reply.

I managed to play a CD that was inserted into my Windows PC once before, but now I only get "No files exist" when I try to access my WIndows PC under the Media Servers.

I am still not sure what to do: when you refer to navigation settings, is that on my LG TV under the webOs somewhere? I cannot find it, not even with the help of a downloaded User Guide. Or is it a setting on my connected Windows PC that I need to change?

This is in the UMS program interface. If that tab is blank then you need to uncheck the "hide advanced options" in the general settings tab and restart.

Thanks again for your response. However, no luck so far.

This is my situation:

I have a (new) LG QNED 65inch TV connected to my home network via network cable (or WiFi). My Windows PC is connected to the same network, also with network cable or WiFi. On the LG TV with the fancy mouse-enabled remote, I select my PC listed as a Media Server. I then select Videos, Folders. I can see all the folders from the PC which contain videos in .mp4 format. When I click on any of these folders, or on All Videos, I get "No Files Exist". The same happens when I choose music or photos.

I don't have or see something like UMS/Universal Media Server. I don't see something like "Hide advanced options" anywhere.

What am I doing wrong - it feels like I am on a completely wrong track trying to resolve this.

Please help! Step-by-step if you don't mind. Much appreciated.

Are you running UMS?

As far as I know I use webOs on the LG TV.

I am not familiar with UMS. Is that on the LG TV or elsewhere?
