No "settings" of clients in home-screen

[ums-space]

Hi Guys,
I am using UMS in headless mode on Linux-server and try to configure it with the web-interface.
The clients were only recognized when I had defined the network, but at the home-screen I cannot edit the settings of the clients, even if they are assigned to an account.
I started the server several times, no change... How can I access the settings?

You need to setup a configuration file (.conf) for your device.
At the moment you can only do this in a text editor (I'm pushing the Devs for a way to do it in the web interface but will be a lot of work)

I already replied to your other post about using a conf from a similar device and refer to the DefaultRenderer.conf for documentation on how to set it up.

Thanks mik for the info.
Yes, I wanted to create a client config file, but this was not possible in the web interface, the relevant menu entry "settings" is gray/inactive (even with administrator rights). This is perfectly solved with the Java app. With the client settings, a conf file can be easily created and assigned. Since this is the first time I've used ums, I was a bit confused. Now I know better and I'm getting used to it.
By the way..... The Java app apparently downloads client images from the Internet, which doesn't work with the web interface either.

I'm not complaining about missing features, I just thought I'd made an installation error.

UMS does not download the icons from the internet, there are included inside the program or sent by the device.

That one was sent by the device and in theory it should show up in the web interface but I see there is a broken link icon for the image, there could be a bug with this.
Try right clicking that icon and copying the image link and post it here so I can see what it links to. Also post your logs when using this device then I can compare them.

You can also set your own icon by using

Code: Select all

RendererIcon = 

You can see all the icons included here. I think you can link to a local icon on your system but not sure as have never used it.

I don't think the settings option on a renderer in the web interface was implemented yet and is there as placeholder to do in the future.
Hopefully this is where they can put a conf editor.
Most of the stuff in the Java GUI is in the web interface under info or control options.
