Re: many problems with serviio settings en installing linux

Hi,
I had a similar problem and it seems like yours.
According to this topic, the issue is born with serviio 1.10.1 and probably caused by newer versions of java like 10 or 11.

The solution i found to date is to set your java environment to older version, 8 is working fine. To do so follow the steps below.


- First chech which version are you running right now with
  Code:
java -version
if version number is 10 or 11 go to next step, otherwise post your result.

- Stop serviio server
  Code:
sudo service serviio stop


- Set java version 8
  Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
and select the proper line. If java version 8 doesn't show you have to install it.

- Check java version to see if the changes took place, then restart serviio server
  Code:
sudo service serviio start
and check if is now working good.


Let us know if you still have the issue or not

bye

Re: many problems with serviio settings en installing linux

th3bucch: that is good information, but not related to his issue. He has Serviio installed and working, but his TV shows no media available to play. When he uses MediaBrowser, his media appears. So his Java version is fine. If Serviio wasn't running, the Serviio icon wouldn't appear on his TV as a media source. We need to find out why his TV isn't showing any media. So there's really nothing wrong with his Serviio install, it's the profile for his TV that isn't working as expected. I believe we also have a language barrier, as he hasn't provided me with some additional information I requested in a different post he made.

Re: many problems with serviio settings en installing linux

We need media information for at least one file that appears in Mediabrowser but doesn't appear on the TV or through VLC. I can't explain where the log file is being saved on Linux. It should be in the Log folder in the Serviio installation location. I have a Linux Mint test computer at home. I'll Install Serviio and see if I can find where it's going. But knowing the media information is really necessary to troubleshoot.

Since your media is showing and playing in MediaBrowser, that means there's nothing wrong with your Serviio install or settings. It's just a matter of figuring out why the media doesn't appear on your TV or with VLC (which is really puzzling).

Well, what are you saying is not all correct.
When I had that issue my TV was displaying my serviio server, so my smartphone did (using VLC) but no files showed, my LG TV also notified me about "unstable network connection" or something like that.

@glda19 if you want to find serviio log file you can try running this command in a terminal window
  Code:
whereis serviio.log

if no results were shown you can try the hard way with
  Code:
find / -name "serviio.log"


hope it helps

Re: many problems with serviio settings en installing linux

OK, I have Serviio running fine on my Linux Mint 19 computer. Had to use apt-get to retrieve ffmpeg (I think), and did have to install Java 8 and perform the switch as mentioned above. But you've said that MediaBrowser was showing your media, so you've already succeeded installing Serviio correctly. Now the issue is getting the media to appear on your TV, and now we're back to the information I asked for before. We need media information for one of your media files. We need to know what audio and video codecs are contained in the file, and the type container that holds the media. Then we can look at the Philips profile and see if it's missing something.

And the log file is exactly where I said it would be. I installed Serviio to the /opt folder, so my log is under /opt/Serviio/log. It would really help to see the log file.

Re: many problems with serviio settings en installing linux

I'm glad you found the log. With debug logging enabled, the log is being split into multiple files. The one you attached is missing the initial Serviio startup. I can see that it is recognizing your media, I believe the IP address of your Serviio computer is 192.168.1.128, and I think I see where you are accessing Serviio via VLC, although that might be MediaBrowser as well. What is puzzling me is I see the profile 'DirecTV HD-DVR' being used for your computer IP, and I don't understand why that profile is being used. VLC should just use the generic profile, as it can play virtually anything. I just fired up VLC on my computer and it sees all three of my Serviio installations on my network, including my Mint box, and is displaying the available media. Unfortunately, I can find nothing in your log that indicates a problem. Unfortunately, I believe I've hit my limit on what I can help with. Zip, the Serviio developer, will likely have to look this over now. I just can't find any reason your TV and especially VLC can't see your media.

Re: many problems with serviio settings en installing linux

I can't explain why it works on your Windows computer but not on Linux. Since MediaBrowser was showing your media on the Linux machine, that means Serviio was working properly. Why it wouldn't appear on your TV, I have no idea. The install I tested on Mint 19 is working fine. As the the file ownership on my box, I'm pretty sure the media is not owned by root, as I mounted the media from another computer with my standard user account. I don't think I had to use sudo, but honestly can't remember.

I'm traveling for work tomorrow, and won't be home until Friday. So I won't be able to test anything further until I get home. Hopefully someone else will offer some ideas here while I'm gone.
