UMS and WMP

Hello and a happy new year to you.

I have two issues.

- UMS seems to be working fine. I can stream from my computer (W7) to my TV (LG Smart TV) without problem. UMS recognises the TV and even recognises WMP. WMP also recognises UMS, but when I click to browse the folder in WMP, it tells me there are no files present. These files ARE present, as I can browse UMS content on my TV. Running UMS as an administrator doesn't seem to change anything. What am I doing wrong?

- I have quite a lot of files on my music drive, which I share with UMS. I can only see up to letter N when I browse the files on my TV though. I can't access, say, ZZ Top. Is there a limit on the number of files and folders shared via UMS?

just to confirm that I observe the same; WMP sees UMS and connects to it, but reports no files on folders (and they are definitely ARE there).
Win 7/32, UMS 3.3.0, build date 2013-12-08, WMP 12.0.7601.17514
debug attached

WMP is extremely picky in file types and codecs, it may be that none of the files you have are acceptable to WMP.

nope, i am browsing exactly the same files/folders which I can access directly via OS file system (*:\Music\...).
there are lots of mp3's there and none of them are listed when accessing through UMS.

btw, VLC player won't show any files/folders either, when connecting to UMS.
