WTF? Address already in use?

[Sal_Chicho]

Forgive my ignorance with this. I am simply trying to configure and run UMS on my MacBook Pro to stream to my PS3 after PMS became increasingly unreliable. I am in desperate need of help and unable to solve this after thorough online searches and scouring this forum.

This is what I know: Yosemite 10.10.5, UMS 6.3.0, Java 8 Update 91.
And this:

Please follow the instruction written in red above.

Yes, I observed the rules before I posted. Unfortunately, my UMS interface does not allow me to restart in Trace mode.

[Sal_Chicho]

Is there no way to solicit a response to this? I would assume that being unable to restart in Trace mode is part of the problem I am facing as well.

I have the same problem, any solution??

I have linux ubuntu 16.04 LTS

To start UMS in the TRACE mode open the UMS.conf and change

Code: Select all

log_level = TRACE

try disabling the web interface in the UMS.conf file. I don't know if this is the problem, but I encountered a similar issue where the GUI would not store any changes if the web UI port failed to bind (if the media server port fails to bind then it simply won't serve media, but the port can be changed in the gui). Following that, try changing the media port to something else (the line looks like "port = 5001", try some other port)
