Synology DS211j: Serviio does not start

Hi! I have Synology DS211j. I had been trying to run Serviio 0.6.0 with no significant success (it worked for sometime, but then started saying that serviio server did not seem to be running), so I hoped to get my problems fixed with the latest update.

I noticed that Java 7 for Embedded 7 may have been updated too, removed it and installed it again. The same has been done for Serviio. Now Serviio does not even show that it works. It apparently starts when I click Run, but after a minute or so it is stopped again. Java for Embedded 7 seems always stopped, and I do not see a link to run it. Any advice?

Can you post your serviio.log file.

Had the same problem DSM 4.0 Beta, DS110j and new Serviio package 6.1

Ran /volume1/@appstore/Serviio/bin/serviio-wrapper.sh from the shell

Following error:
/volume1/@appstore/Serviio/bin/serviio-wrapper.sh: line 56: syntax error: Mem: 118848 85996 32852 0 2672 47252/1024

Line 56:
RAM=$((`free | grep Mem: | sed -e "s/^ Mem: *\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/"`/1024))
if [ $RAM -le 128 ]; then
JAVA_MAX_HEAP=80M
elif [ $RAM -le 256 ]; then
JAVA_MAX_HEAP=192M
elif [ $RAM -gt 256 ]; then
JAVA_MAX_HEAP=384M
fi

So I removed all the above apart from the JAVA_MAX_HEAP=80M (being a 110j less than or equal to 128)

Running fine now. Not using grep from the box, have the ipkg grep package.

Interesting. I'd say that your version of sed is more likely to be the problem. Can you try running that bit again, but using the sed from DSM:

  Code:

RAM=$((`free | grep Mem: | /bin/sed -e "s/^ Mem: *\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/"`/1024))
echo $RAM

The thing is, I introduced this RAM checking routine with my Minecraft package, and my NAS was bootstrapped on 3.2 at the time (and therefore would have had the ipkg version of sed). Now it's non-bootstrapped on 4.0beta. I haven't run into that, and I've not had that issue reported on my blog yet either.

Hang on. I'm not sure what you've done, but you're missing a space in that code line just before the 'Mem', hence the problem. You have:

  Code:

RAM=$((`free | grep Mem: | sed -e "s/^ Mem: *\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/"`/1024))

It should be:

  Code:

RAM=$((`free | grep Mem: | sed -e "s/^  Mem: *\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/"`/1024))

Did you perhaps open the script in nano to read it and saved a change by accident?

DiskStation> RAM=$((`free | grep Mem: | /bin/sed -e "s/^ Mem: *\([0-9]*\).*$/\1/"`/1024))

-ash: syntax error: Mem: 118848 110576 8272 0 584 16232/1024
DiskStation> echo $RAM

DiskStation>

and with the extra space, syntax error too :/

Can you post the output from running the 'free' command (in a [code] block so I can see the spacing?). Thanks.

Removed the spaces as Mem: is against the left margin, works fine now

DiskStation> free -V

DiskStation> which sed

DiskStation> sed --version

  Code:

Hmm, maybe you've somehow got a different version of free. I'm on DSM 4.0beta and mine isn't like yours.
Can you do the same but using /bin/free

/usr/bin/free: (/bin/free not found)

  Code:

DiskStation> /usr/bin/free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:       118848       106908        11940            0         3100
 Swap:      2097144        47392      2049752
Total:      2215992       154300      2061692


Using absolute paths, your code now works

Thanks, I'll either make that explicit, or make the matching a little less rigid in the next version of the package (0.6.2).

I got serviio log file, but it is empty.
