Universal Media Server | Forum

Hi all, I've been lurking for a little while and have learned quite a bit from all the info on the forums. It has been such a great resource to get me up and running, however I've recently come across an issue that I just can't figure out.

The Universal Media server appears as expected on the PS3 when I turn it on, and streams my videos flawlessly (as far as I can tell), and decodes the audio tracks correctly, however, when checking the settings on my PC, the program shows there are "No Renderers Found". Odd, especially considering I'm streaming a movie at the same time.

So, why am I complaining? I can't seem to change any settings in the program, or have it discover my iTunes library as I would expect it to. It also requires a full PS3 and CPU restart to discover new folders and videos (this may be working as designed though, I'm not sure).

Here's the code from the debug log:

I'm running Win7 64bit, blah blah blah...I don't think this matters because the actual playback is just about perfect. It's probably worth noting that the last time it found a render was about a week ago, but nothing since. The settings that I configured then, is what has stuck, even after trying to change the settings in the setup menu.

So, I'd appreciate any insight you guys might have. I've ran through the network configurations (seems right, since it streams at all), the setup guides, and countless threads that seemed CLOSE to the issue I'm having, but nothing that seems to have helped.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

Have you looked into the task manager to ensure you don't have another UMS running that actually is serving your video? It could be that you have 2 UMS running and then changes you make will have really no effect. So quit UMS. Look in the task manager and make sure no "javaw.exe" process still lurks around and then restart UMS.
