So i manually set a few renderers, and then it asked me to restart UMS so i did by clicking the Restart UMS button up top but not re-search and find new renderers.

is this by design? Should there be a new button to relaunch UMS?

Steps to recreate:

• Start UMS Render selection window, deselect all, select the ones you want. (in this example im unselecting DirecTV which should make it show up as a Unknown renderer now)
  
  
  
• hit ok
• hit Restart Server

  Code: Select all

Were your settings saved so it persists after restart?

The "Restart Server" button is different to an application restart. There's no button for an application restart, you just need to click "Quit" and start the program again. Does it work if you do that?

Yes, after quitting and relaunching the settings we're saved.

Yes, So basically its by design then. Got it.

Because of that I never trusted to RESTART button and everytime I made QUIT/START procedure to be sure it is cleanly loaded (also checking that there is no javaw.exe process frozen)
@SubJunk: Nice gui. This opens doors for using "conflicting" renderers
Right now we can't define e.g Panasonic TV (model 2010) and Panasonic TV (model 2012) renderers at time because of same "UserAgent"=>conflicts. But with this GUI it should be possible. If it is somehow possible to enable only one renderer where another conflicting ones exist (e.g. by gray out-ing other renderers which is using same useragent), it would be great addition for everybody.
Right now we can't link IP addresses to specific renderers so if someone will own both models, there is no way to use both renderer configs anyway.
Should be this feature useful?

Found a New bug.
So i select a render and exit and relaunch and it doesn't keep.
the youtube video shows what im talking about.
