UMS won't start on Mavericks

[mendoza_no]

Thanks for trying!
- The command did not return anything
- I don't have a /System/Java/Library/Extensions folder...
- In the /Library/Java/Extensions folder, I have a slf4j link to "/usr/local/xuggler/share/java/jars/slf4j-api.jar"

When I tryed to delete both the slf4j and the link, it did not help to start UMS. I then tried the java launcher of UMS and got the following:

Code: Select all

/Applications/Universal\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaAppLauncher ; exit;

Ok, lets try this. Reinstall the latest java, try if you could getting the JDK not the JRE.
Plus grab the latest UMS for Java 8 and try again.

[mendoza_no]

Ok I will try, but I copied the slf4j file back to its folder since it is necessary for another software... will that be a problem?

[mendoza_no]

Just tried:
I installed java 8 jdk

Code: Select all

java -version
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

I also installed the latest UMS for java 8. It still does not start and the java launcher still gives me:

Code: Select all

/Applications/Universal\ Media\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaAppLauncher ; exit;
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V

Shouldn't be, what software uses a different version?

[mendoza_no]

The software using it is Xuggler. In fact, all 4 items that I have in the /Library/Java/Extensions folder are links to jar files located in a subfolder of this application...

[Optimus_prime]

Hmm, give me a few days and i'll try come up with something to fix this

[mendoza_no]

....so? Any news?

[duocycle]

Want to chime in and say I'm having the same issue.

Tried with Java6 and Java7, with newest UMS as well as earlier versions.
After install I go to open the application and there's no GUI. Just Universal Media Server in the top bar and nothing else.

PS3 Media Server opens without any issue.

[mendoza_no]

Hmm, it might be a bit different in my case because I can't open PMS either...
