Check your TV to be sure it is wifi-connected and turned on. (A “renderer” is a hardware/software combo that takes your data file and converts it to signals that show on a screen: TV, computer monitor, etc.) If you see “No renderers were found” at the bottom of this window, then start over. When UMS starts, it should find your TV and show it in the “Detected media renderers” box. In the setup dialogue boxes, just pick the defaults. How you do that depends on your TV, so read your manual. Turn on the TV, make sure it is connected to wifi on the same network as the computer. (On the other hand, if you think Java will open your computer to hackers, don’t install it, but you won’t be able to use UMS.) If you are not sure, download and install it anyway, it can’t hurt.
If your computer does not have Java installed, download and install it. Don’t ask my any questions, I don’t know anything other than what you see below.ĭownload and install UMS.
I just thought it a good idea to do so here it is.īelow are the steps I used to install and use Universal Media Server (UMS) on a MacBook Air (Sierra) successfully to show videos on my Samsung SmartTV. You can use these as a starting block for a better set or ignore them, up to you. I also notice a few other people with the same problem.
I just started using UMS and had a heck of a time finding a step-by-step setup manual.
