Hi!
From one day to another suddenly Serviio won't start. When I click the icon simply nothing happens and it doesn't appear in the taskmanager
I installed 1.2.1 recently, but uninstalling it and reinstalling 1.2 doesn't work either.
Is this a common problem? Any ideas what might go wrong?

post a copy of your serviio logs so we can see what is going on.

The Log folder is empty, or can I find it somewhere else?

I had this issue when I was updating from 1.1 to 1.2 and it was a Java issue. The same happened when I installed 1.21 as I had to do a clean install of my media server and the serviio installer installed version 7 of java.
Java had auto updated to version 7 and that is not compatible with Serviio from what I found. I just installed version 6 of Java and it started up fine.

Ah thanks, that could be the problem! Java Updater was nagging me for some time.
I will let know if it helped

Remember to disable automatic updates for Java in the Java settings within the Control Panel.
Reason I say is because mine just tried to update by itself it was just UAC that caught it.
