No configuration access to UMS

Post by Sortie »

Good morning,
I am new to this forum and to UMS. I installed UMS on my iMac on OS X 10.10.2 as follows:
- installed latest Java with jre-8u31-macosx-x64.dmg
. loaded UMS-5.0.0-Java8.dmg
. when I double-click UMS-5.0.0-Java8.dmg it starts running with the program name PMS but does not open any user-interface screen;
. I can then access and play my media files on my iMac with my 4k SONY TV 'Bravia KD-65S9005B';
. I have been able to watch a movie without interruption but UMS appears to terminate after a while without traffic in spite of my iMac configured to never shut down;

Problems/Questions:
. I have temporarily installed UMS on my Parallels/Window 8.1 side, just to test it, and there UMS opens a user dialogue screen when I double click the installation file;
. On OS X: When I double-click the dmg file it starts running without user dialogue, but with the program name PMS, not UMS, - WHY?
. On OS X: I have found no way to open a UMS user interface screen and cannot thus configure it. CAN YOU HELP?

Thank you in advance.
