Server 0.4.1 stops responding after a while

[zip]

no, it's not

I've managed to pin down when it happens.
When I moved to Serviio 0.4.1, I decided I no longer need mediatomb, therefore I uninstalled it. That's when the problems began. Reinstalling the mediatomb-daemon package 'magically' brings Serviio 'back to life' (that is dlna clients can see it). If I uninstall mediatomb-daemon, Serviio connections are not possible (strangely after some period of time).
My first suspicion was maybe installing the mediatomb-dameon package opened ports in the firewall (ufw), but as far as I know all ports are open. Still investigating.....
P.S. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

I believe it may have something to do with:

# The route command and arguments to be used if INTERFACE is defined.
# These variables should normally be left unmodified.
ROUTE_ADD="/sbin/route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0"
ROUTE_DEL="/sbin/route del -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0"

in /etc/default/mediatomb.

The lack of the multicast route IS the problem.
I have added

up route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth1

to /etc/network/interfaces to fix the problem permanently.

Ok, so i am having the same problem with W Vista and without mediatomb. What should I do to fix it?

I'm hoping 0.4.2 might fix this.

I wonder if it has anything to do with running on Windows 7 64bit. I also have the same problem (restarting serviio fixes it).

The lack of the multicast route IS the problem.
I have added

up route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 dev eth1

to /etc/network/interfaces to fix the problem permanently.

I added the above when setting up Serviio, however my Yamaha Receiver RX-V3067 wouldn't see my Serviio service running under Ubuntu.

I noticed in Twonky setup guide they had a different multicast address of:

up route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev ethX (ethX is whatever you NIC is in your machine, mine is eth0).

For some reason this worked straight off for the Yamaha - perhaps that is why there are reports of Twonky being the only non windows based media server that works with Yamaha receivers? Looking at the wiki page for multicast addresses 224.x.x.x seems to be the correct address to be used though.

I use centos 6
and mine worked after typing
#route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.1
for more information about this command cf) http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-lin ... c-routing/
Finally I added this to /etc/networks

As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address I did

  Code:

route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth0
ip route flush cache


which solved my problem. Remember to flush the cache on all machines (serviio, gateway and player). I needed to turn off and on my media center to force the routes
