Serviio

Hi
I have installed Serviio 1.7 on Debian 8 and when I start serviio.sh I'm getting this error.

Code:: Exception in thread "Thread-31" java.lang.NullPointerException at de.timroes.axmlrpc.serializer.SerializerHandler.serialize(SerializerHandler.java:220) at de.timroes.axmlrpc.Call.getXMLParam(Call.java:88) at de.timroes.axmlrpc.Call.getXML(Call.java:64) at de.timroes.axmlrpc.XMLRPCClient$Caller.call(XMLRPCClient.java:659) at de.timroes.axmlrpc.XMLRPCClient.call(XMLRPCClient.java:461) at org.serviio.delivery.subtitles.OpenSubtitlesClient.makeUnauthorisedRpcCall(OpenSubtitlesClient.java:203) at org.serviio.delivery.subtitles.OpenSubtitlesClient.logOut(OpenSubtitlesClient.java:98) at org.serviio.delivery.subtitles.OpenSubtitlesService.shutdown(OpenSubtitlesService.java:135) at org.serviio.MediaServer$ShutdownHook.run(MediaServer.java:360)

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi, the error is not relevant and is actually happening when serviio shuts down. I will fix it anyway.

I'm not sure if the serviio.sh works correctly on your OS as in that the process is staying open of if it immediately shuts down. That should be apparent from the logs.

With stability of the system is problem now. When I restart serviio service I'm able to watch a movie on my both LG TV's (both recognized in serviio and use LG TV/player profile). After some time if I want to watch the movie - it playing 1 min and it show "disconnect from network" or "Unstable connection" and after 5 sec "Disconnected from network".
On my Android tablet I don't have a problems.

P.S. I have used these TV's with previous versions of serviio installed on Ubuntu 14.04 and was rock stable. There is any tricks to do with Debian which maybe I don't know about?

My start script is:

Code:: [Unit] Description=Serviio Media Server After=syslog.target local-fs.target network.target [Service] Type=simple User=serviio Group=serviio ExecStart=/myfiles/apps/serviio/bin/serviio.sh ExecStop=/myfiles/apps/serviio/bin/serviio.sh -stop KillMode=none Restart=on-abort [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Never-mind. I solved my issue by moving serviio transcoding temporary folder other then /tmp folder

.
My system /tmp is a 200M tmpfs folder and got full quickly.

Seems to not be the solution.
After server restart everything works fine. After a couple of hours I'm still getting "unstable connection" message and drop of connection after 1 min of movie play.

So for those who have the same issue: I was unable to get work serviio on debian 8. I have moved to Centos 7 and server works without any issue a couple of days already. Seems debian 8 not working well with Java.

I am confirming this issue with Version 1.8 on Centos 7 running a recent Java version: openjdk version 1.8.0_111 . I am gonna try to go with a lower version of Open Java.
