Below attached is my log file. Its weird cause I can see Universal Media Server in my Video, Music and Pictures section in the XMB, but the only folder is Videos which is empty. I'm sharing 2 different folders with content inside of them that I've played on this console before.

Tried restarting my computer, PS3, sharing different folders, all with the same result. Only folder that shows up seems to be one called "Videos" that I am not sharing.

Reinstalled UMS and deleted the database folder, but that didn't do it, so I reinstalled Windows and that seemed to fix it...

That is strange as you should not have needed to reinstall windows. It was probably a firewall rule that was blocking it.
I did see a request from the PS3 where the ObjectID was null so UMS did not know what to send back.
I don't know much about the low level communication so don't know why this would be null.

I had this problem as I reupgraded to 14.12 from 13.6. I reinstalled again but used the "clean install" option, then it showed the files.
Interestingly the logs clearly listed the files in the directory, but on PS3 end it didnt show. And as on the other thread, I also noted that 14.12 shows two UMS in PS3 end of which the other doesnt function. Something is causing it to create an extra ghost server that doesnt work.

I have a similar problem after upgrading from 9.3 to 14.12. My PS3 can see the server but all that shows up is a "Web" folder with nothing in it, not my folders/files. I haven't tried a clean install of UMS yet, but I assume that will wipe my watched history? I'd rather avoid that if there's another way?

One of the cause of this is a corrupt database which can happen if the database upgrade does not work properly.
I would need to see logs to confirm (see red section above)
This is more likely to happen when upgrading from quite an old version. This probably means it is un-salvageable even if going back.
You could try and back up your exiting database in C:\ProgramData\UMS\database then rename or delete this folder so a new one can be created and your files should show.
