Serviio

I have just downloaded the MAC version and unzipped. When I run the Server or console I get an error.

The error disappears too quickly to read when running the server. This is in the log:

For the console, the error is:

In the Console log I get this:

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

not sure, it looks like corrupted installaltion

I tried downloading again and re-installing but still the same.
Also tried another Mac and the same.

can you post your whole serviio.log for the server? attach it.

Here it is

Hi, I have just downloaded Serviio and am receiving exactly the same error as the previous poster.

Some Google searching indicates it is something to do with mismatched versions between slf4j and slf4jbridgehandler, where developers issue packages containing older versions or something?

There's obviously something afoot given the same error is occurring on different systems.

I tried downloading version 0.6, 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 and they all crash with exactly the same error.

I reinstalled Java 1.6.029 from Apple's website - no change.

I am running Mac OS X Server version 10.7.3 on an iMac i7, 64 bit kernel

Any help appreciated.

might be that some other application installed a different version of the logger package on your system and it's on the classpath... I have no idea.

Thanks for the quick response, Zip.

Any ideas where I could start in trying to isolate the problem classpath? I've only got rudimentary knowledge of Java, so any pointers as to where the files are located etc. would be handy.

Is it the case that system-wide classpath will override that of Serviio's?

If I find anything, I'll post a comprehenisve response in case others encounter the same problem.

Cheers

update java to 1.6.0._30

I aume it would be a jar file inside the Java installation (no idea where it's on a Mac). Might be inside a lib folder under Java or similar.

sorry just reread your post above what you need to do is uninstall java completely and then reinstall it, there was a bug in java 2* version that in some cases caused it not to upate properly

could you execute "echo $CLASSPATH" in a terminal and post here the result?

Thanks for the tips.

It's now working! For anyone else having similar problems on a Mac, it's to do with jar files in /Library/Java/Extensions (on Lion - I believe it's somewhere else in earlier OS X versions) :

ls /Library/Java/Extensions

-rwxr-xr-x 1 cerebus wheel 7056159 12 Aug 2010 tools.jar

I simply deleted the slf4* jar files and it started working (brilliantly I might add, as the Samsung BD D5500 player I recently purchased seems to be completely incompatible with all the other DLNA servers I've tried).

Thanks to all the developers at Serviio for providing such a great product!

Your welcome but I'm not a dev, zip is the only dev, the rest of us are only helpers

@ Rosse : Could you check this tips, so we could close the topic ?

Hello, I have exactly the same problem as the one described in this thread. Unfortunately I know nothing about Java and I can't solve it based on these posts, could you please help me out?
I have checked the Java Extension folder (MacOS Lion) but there are no files there.

hmmm, nobody?

Try accessing the Java Extensions folder from a command line.

Open a Terminal window, and type You should see a list of all the files in the folder as the output, even the ones that may be hidden in a Finder window. If you see any slf4* jar files then delete them - as quelg noted earlier - by typing into your Terminal window.

I don't have any of these files myself as Serviio is installed on one of my other machines, but I couldn't see any files when I opened the Java Extensions folder in my Finder either so I figured I'd help out with that

Thank you for your help

I tried it and there was one similink to a slf4j-api.jar file. But even after removing it I could still not open Serviio.

Since this only seems to happen to a few Mac users something must be messed up with my Java installation. I tried removing the Java manually and reinstalled it from the file downloaded on Apple website but the problem is still there...

I think you only deleted a symlink to the file. See the explanation below for a brief description of symlinks. To make a long story short, you need to delete the original slf4j-api.jar file. Try looking for it by typing this command in a Terminal window: and then 'sudo rm' the file it returns.
