Did you look at the UMS.conf in:
C:\ProgramData\UMS\

There is another one in the program folder which is not used.

Try this:
1. Stop UMS
2. Delete this entire folder: C:\ProgramData\UMS\database
3. Restart UMS

Is there any reason why you have this in UMS.conf
renderer_force_default =true
instead of
renderer_force_default =

@mik_s If UMS.deny was working I think it would be perfect for this type of thing. It looks like it works by using "regex" (regular expression) which can be quite powerful. To exclude a file(s) show you could: Add individual files. Add any file that had certain text or part of text in the ...

@mik_s

Can you be more specific as to what your folder structure is. Do you have seperate folders for: Video Graphics Music Or .... are there a mix of these file types in single folders. And What are the file types or extensions of the files you want to ignore. You mention "artwotk files". So I g...

I see you have a static IP which is good. Have you put in port forwards in your router for ports 9001 and 9002? 9001 is for playing the media and 9002 is to access the UMS settings/config. If you are not familiar with port forwards, you would forward ports 9001 and 9002 to the IP of the computer run...

Not one of these which are included in the renderer profiles:
Apple-TV-VLC.conf
Apple-TV-4K-VLC.conf

Edit: Just saw that you found it.

Yes, it has been an ongoing problem with UMS for years. Basically, Java is running out of heap space. If you are leaving UMS running 24/7 (like me), it can happen. You can increase the heap space allocation in your Java config although this will not fix the issue but let UMS run longer before it hap...

The Tp-Link EX220 should NOT be setup as a router. This device actually has an access point mode and that is how it should be setup. The problem is usually when you have 2 routers on 2 different subnets (not a good idea), is that the devices on both routers normally get internet access but the devic...
