Serviio

Thanks, I have tried and it seems like there are many 'slf4j-api.jar' files, all connected to applications using Java. I looked up slf4j on internet and it seems to be something used by applications as a logging facade for Java. I am not sure I should delete them all...

Is there a way to get a log file from a Serviio failed attempt to start? Maybe could I see which file specifically is the problem?

Hmm... I'm not sure if this will work or not, but you can try this:

1) In a Finder window, open up the Package Contents of your Serviio.app file. (Go to wherever you saved Serviio and right-click/two-finger-click on the app, then click on 'Show Package Contents')

2) Go into the Contents directory and open up the Info.plist file. Copy this file to another location before you make any edits so that you can restore if need be!

3) Scroll down until you see something like
4) Find the lines containing the slf4j* files.

5) Leave the Info.plist file open, and go back to your Finder window. Go into the Resources/Java directory.

6) Right-click/two-finger-click on each of the slf4j* files and click 'Get Info'. In the window that opens, copy the full path to the file (this is found after where it says 'Where:' in the info pane).

7) Go back to the Info.plist file, and replace '$JAVAROOT/slf4j*.jar' with the full paths you copied in the previous step. This should set up Serviio so that it looks at the slf4j*.jars that were included in the Serviio package, and not any other slf4j*.jars that are floating around on your classpath.

8) Post back here with the results!

Thank you again for your help Capitrium.

I have done that (I also did it for the Serviio console package) but it didn't help. This is how the Info.plist file looks like now:

Any more ideas?

Any progress - having similar problems. Have tried all the suggested Java 'tweeks'.

I seem to have a fix for this, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.

For each of the apps package contents you need to chmod +x the JavaApplicationStub. Haven't had a chance to see if this works with my TV or investigate if this is a good thing to do but serviio and serviio console will start after this mod.

Terminal o/p -

[paulbs-mac-pro:Serviio-Console.app/Contents/MacOS] paulb% chmod +x JavaApplicationStub

I'll do a full test tomorrow to see if this is a true fix.

I also had to chmod +x the ffmpeg binary to get this working properly and its all working now.

So in summary

In the Serviio-Console.app package
chmod +x JavaApplicationStub
In the Serviio.app
chmod +x JavaApplicationStub
chmod +x ffmpeg

Fixed this for me.

Cheers

Paulb

I've tried everything on this thread but I still get the same error message. Any further suggestions?

Thanks,
