I tried copying the section for your web content into my shared.conf file and it seems to play fine on my PS4.
I do get problems when playing in the web player but I'll investigate that later. Does it work for you? If not could you post new logs so I can compare with mine.

There is a connection reset error in your logs as you start playing that feed as there is something the PS3 does not like.

I thought it may be because you have a comma in "Web,Vodcasts" which just shows the one folder with that name.
I'm assuming you want it to be "Web" with "Vodcasts" inside it. If so then change it to "Web/Vodcasts". This may be a change due to the web interface.

According to your system info you only have 2Gb of ram and a very old CPU. It may be that your computer just cannot keep up with the processing needed to download and transcode web content in the latest version.

I think it was around V12 they started to use youtube-dl to fetch YouTube videos and that may take up more resources to work, which is why 11.6.0 still worked for you. There are still connection reset errors in your 11.6.0 logs so it was struggling to keep up too.

There may be something wrong with your system memory too if you say you have 4Gb. Only 2Gb is being detected so one of your modules may be faulty.


That login problem is a strange one. I had something similar on the last version, I could not login from a different computer but when I was investigating it I got hit with another bug that broke the web interface. After trying out a test build that fixed that problem I could not reproduce the login problem, even reinstalling the bugged version.
Are you using any ad blockers? Did you store the password in firefox? Try resetting any site data and cookies for localhost.

I'm sure this is the file you deleted to get the prompt to create a new user but just in case this is it

1) Yes if you don't mind. I just want to make sure the error I was seeing is not something wrong on my end.

2) I think the way folders are used in V12 was changed when the settings moved to the web interface and all the separate files used for web content and virtual folders were merged in to one file.
The way it was now that folder showed up as "Web,Vodcasts" and not "Web" with the "Vodcasts" folder inside it.

3) Your system is only showing 2Gb total, that is not what is available to UMS.
I think you have a faulty memory module and Windows is detecting that there is one present in that slot (I'm assuming you have 2 2Gb dimms) but none of that memory is usable. May be windows is misidentifying it as a 1Gb module so is why it reports 3Gb total. I suggest you run memtest to see what is going on.
I had problems a few years ago and it was due to faulty ram. My system is quite old too being over 10 years old now so was not a surprise if parts start to fail.

I used to run UMS on an old laptop for a bit that had similar specs to you and it struggled to transcode videos to play on my PS3 at the time but could do it if you paused the video to build up a buffer. If you don't need to transcode anything UMS will work fine for you to just stream but anything more taxing may be beyond its capabilities now.

4) Thanks for letting me know. If you did not store the password in firefox then it could be possible you could have mis-typed it. This still does not confirm either way if there is still login problems or it has been fixed. I'll keep a look out to see if anyone else reports problems with this.

5) Its not a secret or anything so its fine.
