Serviio

All, I am having terrible trouble geting the new version of Serviio to work. Since upgrading I am getting constant "Could not advertise the device on any available NIC" errors

I am running XP and java 6 update 37

Can anyone help me?

Logfile attached

Thanks in advance

Can you run this and post the output? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3923&hilit=ListNic#p26629

Hi the output was:

ip: 127.0.0.1,
name: lo
display name: MS TCP Loopback interface
loopback: true
p2p: false
up: true
virtual: false
multicast: true
------------------------------
ip: 192.168.0.22,
name: eth0
display name: VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport
loopback: false
p2p: false
up: true
virtual: false
multicast: true
------------------------------

Did you set your VMWare virtual's NIC to "bridged"?

OK, I think Serviio filters out wmware NICs from being used. They seem to be causing problems sometimes. You don't seem to have any normal NICs (other than the loopback one, which is omitted as well)

Hi I have the loopback NIC and the main network NIC on 192.168.0.22

On the 192.168.0.22 interface I can connect to all the resources on my network and the internet, I just cant seem to get Serviio to use this interface. Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks in advance

because it doesn't multicast on NICs with vmware in it's name. Is the NIC a SW solution from vmware, or do the now make hardware as well?

Hi Petr, yes this is a virtual NIC. Does this mean that Serviio will not work on a VMWare Platform, or is there something I can do to make it work?

I'll have a look if I can get around it in 1.1

Thanks, that would be appreciated.

I have the exact same issue but NOT using a virtual machine. My logs are getting spammed with this message

running on windows 2003 server

I thought maybe this meant a bad nic? But looking through this thread it appears to be having trouble detecting my nic?

Run the program linked in one of the posts above pls.

I figured it out.

I had virtual server 2005 installed on this server, I wasn't using it so I removed it. Just for your reference here are the pre and post nic lists

While VS 2005 was installed



after removing vs2005

Hi,

this needs to be fixed urgently - I had the same problem - every 5 seconds this warning is written to serviio.log.
My machine has VirtualBox installed, so ListNic generates the following:

ip: 127.0.0.1,
name: lo
display name: Interne Loopback-Schnittstelle des 127.0.0-Netzwerks
loopback: true
p2p: false
up: true
virtual: false
multicast: true
------------------------------
ip: 192.168.1.1,
name: eth0
display name: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller - VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver Miniport
loopback: false
p2p: false
up: true
virtual: false
multicast: true
------------------------------

In the meantime I have reduced the message level for servio.org to "ERROR" so this warning is suppressed. However this is no solution obviously.

Thanks in advance, pcs201106

serviio doesn't seem to like virtual network adapters, it looks like in this case you have virtual box installed

The only solution I have found is to remove the virtualizing software

had another thought. I haven't tested it but you could try binding serviio to another NIC that is not bound to virtual box.
