Universal Media Server | Forum

I just installed UMS 5.3.1 and whenever it exits, it inserts a backslash \ in front of every / in my UMS.conf. This makes the folder names unreadable when I restart UMS, so my only recourse is to edit my UMS.conf file manually before launching the app. I am running on OS X 10.10.5 an old Mac Pro (early 2009).

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I upgraded to 6.0.0 and still see this problem. Any one have ideas on what I can do?
Thanks.

Formatting the file isn't done by UMS but by a standard Java library, so that's very strange. What character set are you running in the OS? What character set it the file saved with by the editor? It should be saved as CP1250/Latin-1 as that's Java's default for configuration files.
