Re: UMS not finding PS3 (tried almost everything!)
It seems like your UMS computer and your PS3 isn't on the same subnet. According to your log, UMS uses 192.168.1.5. Assuming that you use the standard subnet mask, that would mean that your PS3 would need to have an IP address that starts with 192.168.1.
UMS and renderers can't have to go through a router to reach each other. The reason is that routers won't forward multicast packets unless you have an advanced router and a lot of knowledge of how to configure it. What is the IP address of your PS3? By the way, manually assigning a 192.168.1.x IP to the PS3 won't help if they are on separate LANs, so the question is there to verify that they are automatically assigned IP addresses in the same range/subnet.

Re: UMS not finding PS3 (tried almost everything!)
I looked in your log at see no trace of any communications with the PS3. In my experience that only happens when the problem is on a network level so that they cannot communicate. That means it's down to: network configuration (not on the same subnet), blocked by software or OS (firewall/AV) or a buggy router.
I have seen some cases before where cold booting the router has solved "mysterious" problems where the multicase packages never arrives. I guess it's worth a shot. Also, if you're sure that they are on the same subnet, you should make sure that the firewall you've disabled is the correct one. It needs to be all firewalls running on the computer running UMS. Do NOT disable the firewall in your router. Some AV software has a firewall in them and will keep on blocking even if the OS firewall is disabled.
To test simple, unicase network connectivity your should run "ping 192.168.1.x" where "x" is the address used by your PS3 from the computer running UMS. Ping should get replies, or there is something fundamental that's wrong with your network. It only tests unicast though, so there can still be issues with multicast even if ping works. But, if there's no unicast, you can be sure there's no multicast either.
I can't really think of anything else, the problem must be with the network/router/firewall.

Re: UMS not finding PS3 (tried almost everything!)
I've never heard of that the PS3 firmware disables UPnP/DLNA completely, but I guess as this point anything is possible. I can't really see anything more to try, from your log there simply are no attempted communication and that can only mean that the packages doesn't get there.
The only thing I can think of is to try to figure out if the problem is with the UMS computer or with the PS3. If you have another computer on the network, you could try VLC, Kodi or in the worst case WMP and see if they can "see" UMS. Alternatively you could use a mobile/tablet and an UPnP/DLNA application, like BubbleUPnP and do the same. If either of these can "see" UMS, the problem is with the PS3 and vice versa.

Re: UMS not finding PS3 (tried almost everything!)
Is the mediaplayer enabled on the ps3? there is an option to disable it in network options. Not being on the latest firmware won't cause any problems. if you are still on 4.81 i would look into jailbreaking it and give movian a try.

Re: UMS not finding PS3 (tried almost everything!)
I was having this same problem.
My Java recently auto-updated and the Windows Firewall for it was defaulted to block connection.
As soon as checked Allow the connection, the PS3 and PS4 started talking to it.
I didn't need to restart Java or UMS or the PS4, it just showed up.
