![]() ![]() If this all works, the UMS will open on the TV and you can navigate to the folder that has your files and you can open one. Thank you for writing this, even though the steps aren't the same for everyone. UMS is a Java application, so you need to have Java installed to run it. On Windows (which is used by the majority of UMS users), the installer will download and install Java if it's not already installed. ![]() #Universal media server not loading install# On OS X and Linux, Javas need to be installed before you can run UMS if it's not already installed. Apple's Java 6 is no longer supported, so either Oracle or OpenJDK version 7 or 8 are the most obvious choices. Java won't open your computer to hackers, what has been considered a security risk by some is to have Java enabled in your internet browser. That means that you can start Java programs directly from your browser, and if you start "the wrong program" that can obviously be risky. Y ou don't have to enable Java in your browser to use UMS or any other Java application locally though. I think most browsers these days disable Java by default. UMS and the renderer(s) need to be on the same network, and also on the same IPv4 subnet. It won't work with IPv6 only, but dual IPv4 and IPv6 should work. Some people have trouble with the "same subnet" part because they don't know enough about networking, but it basicly means that there can't be a router "between" UMS and the renderer. If UMS is connected with wired network and the renderer(s) with wireless, there's often a wireless router between them that doesn't forward the signals they need to detect eachother. Many wireless routers can be run in "bridged", "transparant" or "access point" mode. If run this way, they won't operate as a router and won't block the signals. Likewise, a firewall on the computer running UMS is a common cause for trouble. #Universal media server not loading tv#. ![]() #Universal media server not loading install#. ![]()
