The Universal Media Server Project has released Universal Media Server 10.0.0, a major new release of its open-source, cross-platform Java-based media server for Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
The server, which works with a wide range of UPNP/DLNA-compatible devices from mobiles to smart TVs, gains significant improvements to its web and DLNA browsing interface, with the aim of prividing more flexible and visually pleasing options for navigating the user's content.
The web interface gains the most visible improvements, with a new breadcrumbs feature at the top of each page aiding user navigation. The front page now displays information about the last few items added and played, along with files in progress and most played folders.

- This article will explain the 4 main ways to play video, audio and images via UMS. 1: Play from a renderer interface. When your renderer is connected to UMS via DLNA/UPnP, often it will display in a menu called 'Media Servers' or something similar, depending on the renderer.
TV shows are made more visually appealing, now displayed as thumbnails using cover images from the API. Users also benefit from major improvements to metadata, with individual shows, episodes and movies gaining a large cover image, plus extra information such as actors, awards, classification, country, directors, genres, plot, ratings, year, and total seasons - much of which is clickable to highlight related content. There's also a new IMDB icon (and link) for matched media.
Many users tend to use UMS as a DLNA server, and DLNA browsing has also been improved. All videos across all seasons of TV shows are now visible, while users gain two new options – Filter by Progress and Filter by Information – when viewing TV shows or Movies. In addition, Recently Added, Recently Played, In Progress and Most Played folders have been added to the Media Library view.
Elsewhere, the API has been enabled for lookups even without filename 'prettifying', which has been updated to format episodes and seasons using the more standardised 'Series – S01E01 – Episode' format. Support has also been added for audio playlist thumbnails with the promise that playlist folders are now correctly identified via UPnP.
The update also gains improved support for Panasonic and Samsung Q9 TV UPnP pushing, fixes to the automatic file watcher, translation updates and minor design improvements.
Universal Media Server 10.0.0 is available now as a free, open-source download for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Universal Media Server 10.4.1
Stream video, audio or pictures to any DLNA device
Universal Media Server is a project forked off of the PS3 Media Server which includes a few enhancements over the original project. The program was designed to enable your Playstation 3 console to playback media formats which were traditionally not supported, the most popular being MKV files.
The main function, apart from being a media server, is to transcode video so that your DLNA-compliant media player can display high-definition movie files without issues.

The main program interface is certainly not pretty, yet it is certainly functional and well laid-out. Upon launching Universal Media Server, you are greeted with the Status tab which displays the trancoding status. Moving on, there is a Traces tab which acts as a server log and beside that is the general configuration tab which allows you to make changes to the default settings of the application like the language, ability to install the server as a Windows Service and advanced network settings.
The navigation tab is where you're given the option of setting thumbnails on your media device, setting up the cache and modifying general display settings.
Where the meat of the program lays is in the Transcoding Settings tab where you can make fine adjustments to transcode settings such as the video codecs, audio codecs and more. The default settings here are to use open source engines such as MPlayer, FFmpeg Audio and VLC Video Streaming. In general, you should leave these settings alone unless you're experiencing issues.
Overall, Universal Media Server is an admirable project which allows you to play (formerly) non-traditional video files on your television or mobile phone with the help of consoles or web TV devices.
