Any chance of getting a renderer for the Dish Network Hopper and Joey system?
Thanks!

We can try with your help
I did a quick Google and found a lot of posts saying that no media servers work with the DNH, are you sure it supports DLNA?
If it does support DLNA, you should get an "unrecognised renderer" in your list on the main UMS window

Hey subjunk....I am interested in a dish network hopper/joey renderer as well. I would love to help you out anyway that I can. I have tried current builds of PS3 media server and universal media server with mixed results. Some file will play and some will not. It does find an unknown renderer upon startup. Please let me know what information you would need to move forward with this....this would be great!

There is an error in your config file
Code: Select all
Supported = f:mpegts|mpegps v:mpeg2 a:aac|ac3|mpa|wav|pcm m:video/mp2t|video/MP1S|video/mpeg2
It could be
Code: Select all
Supported = f:mpegps v:mpeg2|h264 a:aac|ac3|lpcm m:video/mpeg
Supported = f:mpegts v:mpeg2|h264 a:aac|ac3|lpcm m:video/mpeg
Also delete
Code: Select all
# FIXME: Remove these two lines when the supported definitions are functioning properly
MediaInfo=false
StreamExtensions=avi,m4v,mkv,mov,mp4,ogg,rmvb,xvid,hdmov,hdm,flac,fla,dts,asf,asx,m2v
and set MediaInfo=true

Did you get this solved? I have similar issues and have failed miserably at configuring the renderer file.

Thanks for sharing your config file. While I don't have any AVI files to test, I have been able to view photos, listen to music and play MOV, MP4, MPG and WMV videos without issue.

When I set up Plex server using Linux, I went to MENU on the controller and then HOME Media. After that Plex was already there.
I'm trying to get the same thing to work for UMS, I wanted to try out UMS because of the better options for me. Anyway I have plex server turned off and UMS is configured and running. I still am unable to see UMS in the Home Media options in the Dish menu.
I see in one post that someone was actually able to view media using UMS on Dish , so how are you seeing this?

Hi everyone,
I know this is an old post but I am new to both UMS and this site but I think I may have found a possible solution tho the Hopper/UMS connection.
I started ripping my DVD collection a couple of week ago and UMS worked great via the web interface but I was unable to play them from my Hopper, which led me here. I used the above .conf file and made the suggested changes (Thanks for that!) but was still unable to play it. I even downgraded to ver 5.0 with out luck and while I get better memory usage with the older version (set to 1024 instead of the default) it still would not work.
Sorry I'm rambling...
What I was using:
DVD Decryptor - to get the DVDs off the disk
HandBrake - to convert to mp4 with it set to Universal profile
The resulting file gave me great video/audio that works on everything I've tried except the Hopper. So after several hours of searching I have found this on the Dish Forum:
https://support.dish.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4493
Profile: Android High
Transocoded:
Container : MP4
Video Codec : H.264
Framerate: 30fps or 29.97
Constant Framerate
Constant Quality : 17
Audio codec: AAC (faac)
I hope this helps others.
