I'm new to this. None of my files are being found. I've tried reattaching the folders and restarting several times. A mix of (Music - .bin, .cue, .mdx) and movies (.iso) What am I doing wrong?
Windows 11
Universal Media Server 14.12.0

There is a databse error that will prevent it from being read correctly so will not show any media
Code: Select all
net.pms.database.MediaDatabase Error checking tables: Column "ISSAMPLE" not found; SQL statement:
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS VIDEO_METADATA_BASIC_COLUMNS_IDX ON VIDEO_METADATA(IMDBID, MEDIA_YEAR, TITLE, TVSERIESID, EXTRAINFORMATION, ISTVEPISODE, TVSEASON, TVEPISODENUMBER, ISSAMPLE) [42122-232]
This can sometimes happen after updating from an older version and the database upgrade did not happen correctly.
Deleting "C:\ProgramData\UMS\database\medias.mv.db" when UMS is not running will allow UMS to build a new one when next run.
This will unfortunately lose the played status of them but you can set these in the web player.
I'm not sure if .iso .bin .cue .mdx files work as these are disk images, but I have never used these with UMS.
I assume these worked before though as I can tell from your UMS.conf it was made on an old version.
It would be better if you extract the actual media into separate files so UMS can retrieve their metadata and probably won't need to be transcoded when playing on your renderer.
