Upgrade from 0.6.2 to 1.0.1 - connection?

Hi guys,

Please bear with me. I have read all relevant posts on issues with upgrading to 1.0.1, also read the FAQ and other sections and have not found a solution yet.

I have installed the Serviio console application version only on my Win 7 x64 desktop, latest version 1.0.1. The server is still 0.6.2 running on my QNAP NAS box. After installing on the same folder, I have also updated my ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions file to point correctly to the IP address of the NAS.

However, on reboot, I get the "cannot connect" message and the following is an extract from the log file:

  Code:

On downgrading back to version 0.6.2, everything seems file. The log file entry is as follows:

  Code:

2012-08-13 21:05:41,152 INFO  [ServiioConsole] Starting Serviio Console
2012-08-13 21:05:41,192 INFO  [ServiioConsole] Connecting to Serviio REST on 192.168.0.100:23423
2012-08-13 21:05:41,862 INFO  [Messages] Loaded console message bundle for locale: en

I am at a loss as what to do next, as most of the solutions to similar issues seem to be the ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions file entry, which I have updated correctly (the correct IP address is shown on both of the log file extracts above). There are no firewall issues, and both my desktop and the NAS are on the same subnet.

Appreciate any assistance to resolve this, as I would be happy to purchase a PRO license once I get this working properly.

Thanks very much.

Just to clarify, are you using Serviio 1.0.1 Console with 0.6.2 Server? If so a) that won't work, the new console will expect different and additional data from the server hense the NPE and b) if it did work, you would gain no benifit as the console is only for configuration, all the important stuff is in the server so you will need to upgrade serviio running on your QNAP as well. I may have miss understood you, in which case can you stop the console and the server, clear the logs for both, start the server, and then start the console and post both logs.

Hi,

You're right, I am using the 1.0.1 console trying to connect to the 0.6.2 server on the QNAP NAS. So my problem seems to be compatibility between the two versions.

Is there a QPKG available yet for the QNAP to upgrade the server version to 1.0.1? I looked at the QNAP forum and there doesn't seem to be one yet.

For the moment I will continue with 0.6.2 on both console and server.

Thank you for your response, I only wish that the compatibility issue was highlighted in the release notes.

Regards
