It appears that the new Universal Media Server package is broken. When I try to install it it says the file doesn’t pass the validity check. Is everyone else having the same problem? There is a file that can be downloaded off the official webpage but if it’s broken I don’t want to install it that way either.
It appears that you don’t fully understand that AUR is unsupported.
Judging by your comment - if a file doesn’t pass validity check it is likely because the checksum registered in the PKGBUILD has not been updated when the author updated the release version.
This is an issue for the maintainer - look at the comment track.
I just checked - the package builds fine - so it is local to your system.
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/ums
cd ums
makepkg -iscC

Oh I get the AUR packages are unsupported, I just wanted to see if everyone else was having the same problem I was. I was able to update it manually by downloading the package and copying the files over.

For general reference if you have an issue, also provide any accompanying errors – the actual command output – rather than leaving others to guess (often incorrectly).
As mentioned, your first port-of-call should be the maintainer of the application; in this instance “Mitch” – note that you will need to open an AUR account:

Don’t do this. It is a recipe for future problems, because if the files are not exactly with the same names, the package manager will not know they are there and at some point you will have problem updating the system.
The right solution is posted above and i ticked it.
p.s. and of course you can notify the package maintainer to fix the package - contacts on the aur page.

Thank you. Using the commands linux-aarhus provided I was able to get the package to install and I’m no longer getting nag warnings that I need to update the package. I guess it’s like aarhus said, the maintainer didn’t update the checksum file or something silly like that. I would have commented directly to them, but I don’t have an account over on the Arch forum. I should probably do that some time.
After doing this I realized that this was the wrong way to go about it and installed it the proper way that linux-aarhus suggested.
