Serviio

Hey, great software...however, shortly after purchasing, my server has gone invisible...suspect kernel version support issues??

Does anyone know latest supported 4.x kernel supported under Mint or Ubuntu? Running Mint 18.2.

Was working perfectly on 1.8 upgraded to 1.9 all good, then a few months ago only working on 1 Kyocera cell phone (completely invisible to multiple apps & devices, otherwise.)...So I discount this phone as a oddball...

Need it to work with BubbleUPNP, MediaHouse or similar...

Reason for delay is that I didn't have time to mess with it and was easier to add 2nd DLNA server temporarily.. (ReadyDLNA miniDLNA); but have some compatibility issues, would like to get back to better server.

Modified /etc/network/interfaces with multicast info almost a year ago, so don't see how it's the issue..., but do believe it is network related. I'm using a UTT router (AC60), and like I said was working successfully and stopped for no apparent reason (kernel, seems likely)...

Is 3.x better, which specifically? or 4.x ?? Running 4.8 now. Believe it was early 4.x or late 3.x when it stopped. Sorry, backup doesn't go back far enough...

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ok, not a kernel issue, definitely related to network-manager, interfaces file... had it appear for about 3 seconds after a reboot, but can't identify the issue.

2nd related question...What is required to 'auto configure Serviigo'?? Had this working and now it doesn't see the running server either...

Can multiple DLNA servers run simultaneously? Is miniDLNA 'which is running fine...' interfere? can 1900 be shared? or is this related problem?

Any guidance would be appreciated...

Gonna backup system as is and try a full reinstall, but still want to know WTF the issue is...WHY IS IT BY THE WAY, THAT Linux network is so damn foreign compared to Windows, or even why miniDLNA works and this server (same genre), WON'T??

Thanks.

Bill

Multiple DLNA servers can run, but they can't share the same port. MiniDLNA was designed for your NAS, which is why it probably works without issue.

Windows and Linux are two completely different operating systems. While there are certainly some similarities of operation, there's really no comparison between the two.

Anybody have any helpful suggestions for the original question?? Would really like to use software I paid for!

When Serviio is on a computer, the usual culprit is some sort of firewall blocking access. I know nothing about how a NAS OS is configured, which is why I didn't offer anything about that issue. Hopefully someone with NAS experience can chime in here.

OK, finally found the problem...wasn't my network either...it was a freaking permissions issue on the database.

After deleting the entire installation and internal databases, was able to reinstall (repointing to actual data) and all is being rebuilt.

Thanks for attempts at help, but I have managed to fix it finally myself.

Ah, the lovely world of permissions. They can bite you in all sorts of locations. Glad you got it sorted out!
