    ATTENTION: it seems that the pathfinder has still some problems with certain situations to find the correct NMT paths (we are still investigating that issue). You can still try to let the NMT path empty but if it fails, please add the correct NMT path else you won't be able to start any movie in the frontend.

Updates

Here you will find a overview of all installed UMC components (Plugins,Widgets,..) as well information about not yet installed components. You can update existing components or install new ones.

Scanning

if you think you have configured everything you can start to scan your media libraries.
Just hit the second button on the main page (with the magnifying glass) or select from the menu Project->Scan

As soon as the scan process starts you will be redirected to the scanning page where you will find some information about found media and so on (but do not depend 100% at the shown information->under construction).

Frontend

As soon as the scan has finished you will hopefully find in your UMC application directory a subdirectory called "UMC" (or if you configured UMC to create the frontend in another folder just look there).

Now copy this folder to an internal drive of your C-200/A-200 or onto a USB device and connect it to your NMT. Navigate now to this folder and start the frontend while selecting the file umc.phf
