Serviio

Hi,

I have installed “Serviio 1.8” and “Java SE Embedded package for Synology NAS” from patters. Good things first: The library is (almost) correctly indexed and new files are recognized.

In my first test after the installation I have left the settings in Serviio just as they are, which resulted in many errors in /var/packages/Serviio/target/log/serviio.log.

Once deactivating the metadata generation files were indexed very fast. In the first run though not all media was indexed so I had to start it second time manually. Now most of the files are there , some still not.

Serviio.log shows different warnings. There are some java exceptions and other mistakes.
See here (excerpt with errors): http://pastebin.com/zt0B8Gkt

There are three types of mistakes:
a) ServiioStatusService (Java exceptions)
b) MediaFileIndexer
c) MetadataExtractionCoordinator

Especially the c) I cannot understand because I have disabled all metadata extraction in the settings.

Can someone tell me why this is happening and is there a way around it?

Cheers

Hi zip,

I've looked into this:

When I use Synology own java Serviio doesn't work properly at all. Using the Java SE embed from patters gets Serviio 1.8 running almost correct. Data is being recognized and the errors that I am wondering abut are not the one related to MediaFileIndexer.

I was wandering why there is an error with MetadataExtractionCoordinator although I have disabled metadata. Also ServiioStatusService I do not understand.

Any information about this?

CHeers,

It' related to java runtime on the NAS. I had reports that the Synology Java should work with 1.8, so not sure how to help otherwise

OK, I'll give t a try. I was using Synology Java 8 with Serviio 1.6 lets see how it works with Serviio 1.8.

Hi zip,

OK, this what I have done:
1. removed Java from patters and Serviio
2. installed Synology own Java 8 and updated it to latest version (8.121)
3. installed Serviio 1.8 from patters
4. deactivated meta data creation and also cover creation for local files
5. indexed my library

There are no Java exceptions of any kind

The only error that keeps repeating is this:


Is this known to you?
