[In progress] Serviio breaks after latest Java update on Mac

Hi all,
After weeks of near perfect Serviio operation, I am experiencing my WDTV media player stopping play and dropping off line.
I have to back out of "media servers" and open "photos" or "music" then when I go back to "media servers" I can select Serviio and start playing video from the beginning.
I have never experienced abrupt stops of video playing using Serviio on this system.
I have the following, constantly, repeating message in my log. Never seen it before.
I am obviously not an expert. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards

I'm having the same problem on my mac (osx version 10.8.4). I suspect it is related to the latest java updates from apple.

I continuously get this message in the log

013-06-23 11:46:26,476 WARN [DiscoveryAdvertisementNotifier] Could not advertise the device on any available NIC, will try again

and serviio never appears on the available sources list on my samsung TV.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Silla

I forgot to mention that this problem does not happen every time, only once in a while, but when it happpens, I'm unable to find a way to play my media. It happened yesterday but today I can play my media just fine (I tried to reboot everything, but to no avail).

Please find attached a detailed log of the problem.

Thanks again,
Silla

I have also recently updated to 10.8.4. I am currently downloading 10.8.5 beta... will report back.

Maybe Serviio starts before your network is ready?

Hi Petr,

Thanks for the reply.

My network is up 24 hours a day and Serviio has always served video flawlessly.

The only trouble I have ever had was when using the betas of 10.8.3 and plugins failed. Video always worked and so I let it go. The problem was never resolved until the official 10.8.3 was released and all started working again.

This time I have used the 10.8.4 betas with no problem and now, with the official 10.8.4 out, there is consistent failure of Serviio and my WDTV box. I can play any video for only near to 30 minutes and it stops playing. WDTV says there is no connection to the network.

I have posted my log. I have never had that message before. It continuously repeats. I somehow think it is related to the JAVA update, as Biker says. Java update was not applied until after the official 10.8.4 was out. That was when I noticed the problem.

I have started and restarted in multiple combinations, manual and automatic addresses, clearing caches, everything I could think of.

My log always indicates that it sees and is talking to the WDTV box but I still get the "Could not advertise the device on any available NIC" right after.

Last night I updated to 10.8.5 beta and have the same exact problem, no change.

I also notice in the Serviio Console I still have the reddish yellow indicator with the unrecognized device message that started back when I updated to Serviio 1.2. (see attached) Since I was always having perfect video serving I did not worry about it. Now I'm concerned again.

Also, why is there no Mac OS setting in the device dropdown ? Have us Mac users just been lucky that everything has worked up until now ?

I am really concerned now as I have Serviio running on several of my client's networks and they are all Mac users. No complaints as yet as they are all using NAS devices. Those are having a different set of problems but they are being managed for now.

Serviio is currently useless to me in this state. I have never received any messages from fellow Mac users here (except for Biker). I have asked for a confirmation of operation problems I was having several times before to no response so I guess everyone here is using Windows.

This really sucks since the reason I found Serviio was the exact same failure of PLEX. They have the exact same DLNA / WDTV problem over several versions (still happens with the latest version). I called their attention to it many times and so have others. PLEX geniuses have chosen to ignore it as does WD.

I think PLEX prefers their customers use "official" PLEX devices rather than DLNA. I hope that doesn't happen here.

Thanks for any help you can provide. I do not have the knowledge or time to learn and apply the deeper details of how Serviio works to solve my problem.

Regards

What's your Java version?

try

  Code:

java -version


in Terminal

Thanks,

Here it is>

java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)
SDK-MP6:~ SDK$

[zip]

There is now _25 available. You could try that.

Hello zip,
thanks for your help; I can confirm that the network is up before I start Serviio.
I have the latest version of java from oracle installed (1.7.0_25), but serviio defaults to the apple version (Java 1.6.0_51-Apple Inc.); is there a way to instruct Serviio to use the oracle version?

Best regards,
Silla Rizzoli

I was just about to post & saw Silla's reply. I updated to _25 and still have the same repeating message in the log.
Also noticed the same startup default... Indicating Java 1.6.0_51 is what's loading>

I was testing and had to go out for a short while.
without even playing a film Serviio went off line while I was out.

is there a way to instruct Serviio to use the oracle version?

No, Java 7 on OSX required completely different packaging of apps, so Serviio only works with 1.6 on OSX - sorry I didn't realize this earlier.

Could you post results of running this program (using Java 1.6 you have installed):

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3923&hilit=ListNic#p26629

This seems to be turning into a hazy, muddy mess.
Up until a few days ago Serviio was working perfectly on my Mac.
Now I read that Serviio has always been working with a very old version of Java that, as far as I can see, is not even on my computer.
How, after working through all of the recent updates with MacOS and Java, can that be ?
I must be missing something....
Can someone give a more detailed explanation that makes sense ?
Something has changed in the Mac OS very recently that has caused Serviio to fail
I want to know what that is and, if Serviio is not going to be upgraded to run with newer software, what I need to change to get it back into operation.
It seems to me that Serviio is falling behind the times and should just be updated. Isn't that what everyone else does ?
All of my other Java based apps are running fine through recent OS updates.
I do all my finances with a java based app. It has never failed but had some odd behavior during a recent upgrade.
It was quickly fixed by the developers.
All of the clients I have installed networks for (and using Macs) are using Serviio on my recommendation.
These recent events make me very sad.
I had sooo much trouble with plugins and due to the developer's hard work it has been like watching cable lately.
Now I can't even get the main app to stay up for 30 minutes.
I appreciate that all is provided free of charge. I, and I'm sure many others, are willing to pay for something that performs just a bit better and get regular updates.
Thanks for all the great operation up to this point. Serviio was the best mediaserver i have used to date.

Thanks.

It looks like Java update for Mac broke this, not only for Serviio: http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/forum/vie ... =7&t=16638

Java 6 is not old, btw, it's being updated simultaneously with Java 7, and I assume the Apple Software updates still take care of it - thus it broke for you recently.

I will see if I can get fix for it for 1.3. Can you guys send me PM and I'll send you a new build to try out when I have something in place.

Sure zip, I'll gladly test the builds, thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Silla Rizzoli

Hi, I have this message too and Serviio won't connect with my Bravia.

In log file, looping:

[DiscoveryAdvertisementNotifier] Could not advertise the device on any available NIC, will try again

I have:
java version "1.6.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode)

Mac OS X 10.7.5

Out of desperation I fired up my TwonkyServer app and through TwonkyManager updated to version 7.2.3-RC1. It has worked perfectly the last few days... go figure.
No Plugins and No Transcoding for .srt subs though :-( I call it a temporary fix.

No solution yet?

@zip, same problem for me: I would happily test v1.3 too if you like!
