Serviio

Posted: **Wed Jun 08, 2011 7:27 am**

As of Lion, Apple has apparently dropped Java Runtime which makes Serviio useless. Will there be an update that doesn't require Java, or does anyone know a good DLNA server that works with Sony BD Player not requiring Java?

They have not dropped it AFAIK, only dropped support. In any case, Oracle is picking it up and will provide Java for Mac from now on - so no worries.

When you launch an app in 10.7 that requires Java, the OS offers to download and install it.

Java installed fine (I guess) but I can't get it to work anyway. Serviio seems to start but the icon jumps up and down but with nothing to say. Serviio Console reports no problem. Server is only visible periodically from my Samsung TV and disconnects within seconds.

the icon jumping is 'expected'. Is there something in the log?

Hello,

Yesterday I installed Lion and the corresponding java file. Now Serviio's transcoding doesn't work. I am using the "Sony BD player" profile.

The relevant part of the log file is:

2011-07-21 07:24:11,144 WARN [ProcessExecutor] Process /Applications/Serviio.app/Contents/Resources/Java/../../MacOS/ffmpeg has a return code of 1! This is a possible error.

I suppose that recompiling ffmpeg and replacing the one in Serviio.app may solve the problem. I will try that once I manage to download xcode.

Best wishes,

Manuel

OK! But it crashed after a long while of jumping. When right-clicking the icon it said "doesn't respond" or something similar. Same thing three times with restart of computer. But now somehow it seems to work, and that without a computer restart since last crash. I thought I'd left this kind of shit behind when switching to Mac.

I'm no computer pro but the log seemed ok to me.

what if you execute the bundled ffmpeg (something like ffmpeg -i video_file)

Can you enable detailed logging, play the file, find the ffmpeg command used to transcode and run it?

Zip,

I did. The transcoding ran without problems.

I solved the problem by changing the permissions of the /var/folders/WV tree. I set the owner and group to mirror a those of a backup copy of the system that still have Snow Leopard installed. Now it works.

It may be interesting to do a fresh install of Serviio on Lion (transfering the library and deleting the /var/folders/WV tree so that the program re-creates it) to see if the problem comes up. I will try to do that later today and report back the results.

Many thanks for your help!

Manuel

I had the same problem.

I deleted serviio from the applications folder , then reinstalled. That did the trick for me.

It seems osx support is rather crude though, Would you be accepting contributions to better the experience? (installer, pref pane item instead of bouncy serviio logo in dock)

The bouncy serviio icon is a bug in 0.5.2 and i think ZIP has fixed this for 0.6 but im not at home to check the bitbucket ticket.

You can create a bitbucket ticket with a proposed solution and I will see what can be done.

Had same issue that Serviio didn't work immediately after updating to Lion OS.

Uninstalled Serviio and re-installed, works again fine...
