Description
So, for some reason I updated UMS after having not done so for years. Now, with the exact same folder where I've kept all media, nothing will show up no matter what I do. I've rebooted, uninstalled/reinstalled UMS 4x, changed every setting, opened all required ports etc. Made sure the folder i'm sharing from isn't restricted in every way. Played with all firewalls. I'm at my wits end here. Have spent 4 hours troubleshooting this with 0 progress.
Part of that troubleshooting was DLing Plex and Divx - they both can fully access the folder, see everything there etc. So this is absolutely a UMS issue.
If someone could please help i'd really appreciate it

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the missing-media behavior on a PS4 with the reported UMS update and compare it with the prior version; inspect the available UMS diagnostics to identify where media discovery fails. Done means the existing shared folder is visible and playable on the PS4.
