Serviio

Hey community,

I have an issue with my serviio console.
It won't start anymore. Server is running fine, but since I updated to Java 8, I can't start the console anymore... It's not even appearing in this little window beside the clock in the lower right corner (sorry, but I don't know the english word for it ^^).
If I try to start the console, nothing happens...

I'm using Win 7 64bit and Java 8 (u31).

If you need more info (I bet you will ^^), please tell me!

Thanks in advance!

What version of Serviio?

Sorry, I forgot one of the most important infos... ^^
The actual 1.5.1

That doesn't use the system java anymore. So any java update should have no effect.

OK, so what could be the reason for my Problem then?

Really, no suggestions?

Can you try 1.5.2 ?

Oh... new version...
Of course! ^^

nope, no changes!
Except the fact that the folders changed again...

btw. Do I have the possibility to change/delete some of the basic folders, which are given by the software?
I mean, if I turn on my TV and browse to "serviio" THOSE basic folders like "Movies", "Release year", "Producers" and so on...

Those are all set on the Presentation tab of the console. You can turn them on or off as desired.

Is the console really not starting, ie can you see it in Task Manager as a running application or process?

Thx!


No, there's no "serviio"-process in my task manager.

Does it start if you run it using ServiioConsole in the start menu?
If not, try serviio-console.bat in the serviio bin directory

No, like I already said in the starting post: If I try to start it, nothing happens!
I already tried to start it via the batch file but it doesn't work either. There's just this little DOS window popping up for a splitsecond but nothing else.
I also tried to start it as admin, but...

Do I have the possibility to prevent the DOS window from closing (maybe in line 17 of the batch file)?
Maybe it's helpful for you to know what exactly is happening, or NOT happening during the starting process...

If I check the batch file I can find in line 11:

I know that serviio comes with its own jawa (as I can see in line 8), but this seems to be adressed to my installed jawa version... If so, could it be part of the problem, that I have installed the 32bit AND the 64 bit jawa version (so there are actually 2 different "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw" on my computer)?

Sorry if I've got everything wrong, I just try to figure out whatever I can! ^^

It only falls back to system Java if the bundled one is not found



To keep the window open, remove the 'start' from SET START_COMMAND

SET START_COMMAND= "" "%JAVA%"
But the window won't stay open...

run the bat file from another cmd window, rather than clicking on the icon

Still no response...
Doesn't matter if I open the cdm as an admin or not, and it also doesn't matter if I start the .exe or the. bat

If I try to reinstall serviio I will get an error message (could not create java virtual machine) but the installation will continue if I click "ok".

In my environmental variables (sorry if this is not the correct description, my Windows is not in english ) I have the following settings for my Java:
"_JAVA_OPTIONS -Xincgc -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m"
Does this setting affect the serviio included Java?
Btw. I do have 8GB RAM but if I go for higher settings I will receive the java virtual machine thing (almost) all the time I want to start a Java Application.

Does it keep the widow open though (via the bat file)? It perhaps fails to start the Java VM, so we need to see the error message in the terminal window.

Still nothing happens if I try to open it via smartctl or the usual cmd, even if I open the cmd as admin.
I can't even see that an additional window is opened/closed.
No error message in my cmd...
