Thank you!

It's still slow to load on the browser but to watch on my PS3 it's almost normal, so I'll just wait and see. And now it seems that it's marking as played normally, not needing to watch the whole video on a single time.

Good job, I'm proud to be a patron.

Hi all, The issue seems to have been solved. It was probably some conflict with another instance of javaw.exe. Just to summarize in case someone in the future looks for the same thing, here are the steps I took to fix it: Uninstalled UMS via Windows app uninstall; Uninstalled Java, also via Windows ...

Yes, I just saw that I attached the wrong log. Sorry for that, my bad. I upgraded to 14.0.0 now and I will test the system for a few days to see how it goes. I already noticed that things are too slow, much slower than before, but that is not part of this thread so I'll comment later on another post...

Here are the logs.

Thank you all for the help, I'm sure we'll figure this out, eventually. Things already improved a little. I don't have a smart TV; I use mostly the PS3 (80% of the time) and the player I mention below (20%) to watch videos and the Roku for music. Now I played several videos back-to-back, on my media...

I think this confirms another copy of UMS is running as when you quit UMS it should release the database. I'm suspecting it could be running as a service if you find it in the registry in any section other than firewall rules, I just checked mine and this is where it shows up for UMS but javaw.exe ...

Hi all, Here is the current status. I uninstalled both UMS and Java, removed the shortcut from my startup folder, restarted the computer, and reinstalled UMS with the basic conf and just one share. I realized that now the old settings are very different, and have fewer options. I didn't select the o...

Sorry for taking so long, but here is the last update. I logged off the other user to prevent any interference. Now, when I quit UMS, the C:/ProgramData/UMS/database/ folder is still locked, even though I can't find any instance of UMS or javaw.exe anywhere on Task Manager - processes or services. W...

Thank you for the hints. I will be away from the server for a few days and will test the suggestions. I will check the double instances and do a clean install, but these are things I have done or checked several times in the last 10 years, and I have Only run a single instance of UMS checked, so I s...

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it. I deleted the file - it was dated 2022 and had almost 3 GB - but the played mark was still disappearing after restart. However, UMS is loading much quicker than before, that's a welcome improvement. Anyway, I decided to look at the log and it said something ...
