Universal Media Server | Forum

Hallo after recently updates on ums 4xx versions, it seems that most of the playing functions are broken for my hifi.

We got some different televisions in the house and two out of 3 tv's does not work anymore.

I got the latest codecs possible to get via shark codec package.

I got the latest version of ums 4.2.2 and its on a brand new windows machine so its 100% clean installation.

My Samsung ue32f5505 TV is still working fine for now , but the two sony TV's are not working anymore, they worked in version 4.0.x but not 4.1.x? and 4.2.x?

Sony versions hx753 and hx755

Tried both java7 and java8 versions it's all the same.

I did my best to capture a debug while it had been running, but it was hard because every time i start up and watch something it goes from staying alive with black screen to saying no files/media server was found, and ums have then crashed

Go back to version 4.2.0 I also have issues in 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 with a Sony EX TV, changes have been made to the code from 4.2.0 which have done something to mess up Sony support. If that does not work then 4.0.x should still be fine, it seems that was the next step back in time as to when Sony related things were screwed with.

Hi wazer, thanks for reporting this.
I've made a couple of test versions to help us see when the problem started. Please try these and let me know if they work or not:

Before installing them you will need to delete the "renderers" folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server"
