UMS Unable To Start

[boss]

I might have given you the wrong start command. I haven't used Debian Linux (perhaps others with Debian experience could help), but it looks as though your system uses systemctl.

I think the start command might be:
systemctl start /opt/ums/UMS.sh
and
systemctl stop /opt/ums/UMS.sh
But maybe you were already doing that.

I don't think your issues is a UMS issues as such and you will have better luck posting in a forum specific to Raspbian Jessie/Debian.

Hopefully you will get there in the end and I am sure you will be happy with UMS.

I believe this configuration of UMS came from this forum.
I am sorry the proper person is not sited.

I use a 2 server system,
1) File server
2) UMS server

I’ve used both Ubuntu 15, 16 and Debian 8. Ubuntu works best with my Sony BLU-RAY player.
I use UFW for a firewall, ports are listed below.

File server set up on the UMS system.

Code: Select all

mkdir /home/Video
mkdir /home/Cinema

nano /etc/fstab

//10.0.69.34/Video /home/Video cifs username=user,password=passwd,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm  0  0
//10.0.69.34/Cinema /home/Cinema cifs username=user,password=passwd,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm  0  0

Check fstab

Code: Select all

mount -a
df -h
ls -la /home

Ubuntu setup
Note Java 7 does not work with Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial

Code: Select all

apt-get install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java	
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Debian Jessie 8 setup

Code: Select all

sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update	
apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Both systems.

Code: Select all

apt-get install mediainfo dcraw vlc-nox mplayer2

Change the wget to reflect UMS version.

Code: Select all

cd ~	
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/unimediaserver/files/Official%20Releases/Linux/UMS-6.4.0-Java8.tgz
tar xvzf UMS-6.4.0-Java8.tgz
ls -la
mv ums-6.4.0 /etc/ums
ls -la
rm UMS-6.0.0-b2.tgz
nano /etc/init.d/ums
ums_init.d

chmod +x /etc/init.d/ums
update-rc.d ums defaults
service ums start
nano /etc/ums/UMS.cred
nano /etc/ums/UMS.conf

These are my personal setting for the Sony and multiple drives.

Code: Select all

prettify_filenames =true

folders =""

Change  Virtual Folders File

virtual_folders_file =VirtualFolders.conf

nano /etc/ums/VirtualFolders.conf

VirtualFolders.conf

Firewall ports

tcp 9001
tcp 5001
udp 1900

Remove WEB from menu

Code: Select all

mv /etc/ums/WEB.conf /etc/ums/WEB.conf.bak
service ums restart

Good Luck!

Thanks for the replies.

I think I've managed to get the systemd setup though I'm still running into the initialization error. The first time I try and run it I get this:

Which doesn't occur the second time I run it though in both cases it generates the same errors in the debug log file.

I'm not sure what to do without knowing what the error is that UMS is throwing

[F1Fish]

Are all your paths set right?
This one seems different because UMS ver. number.

DEBUG 2016-07-29 12:05:29.778 [main] LogBack started with configuration file: /opt/ums-6.4.0/logback.headless.xml

your ums.conf file needs help

Shared folders
no quotes, the path should end with foward slash, and I skip the space after =

Code: Select all

folders = "/media/Ultra/Audio\"

Code: Select all

folders =/media/Ultra/Audio/

If this does not work can you post the set-up you used with with the os ver?

[beaksdale]

Thanks changed the conf file but no change and I checked the path but I've set it to /etc/ums which is linked to ums-6.4.0 so not sure, I've attached my set-up files.

[F1Fish]

Could you post a link or set-up you used as reference to build your server.

Thank nyou

[beaksdale]

As I said in my first post it's a Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian Jessie in headless mode

[F1Fish]

I'm sorry,
The question is not the os build which comes headless or desktop, but most any linux system can run headless.

Did you roll your own UMS sever or follow someones example on setting this up?

[beaksdale]

Sure I know but just being clear. I followed a guide online first then the guide posted on here which was basically download, move and set link. I then replaced the init setup with a systemd setup but I can't get either working which I guess since I can't get the script to run manually anyway isn't that surprising (though you provide extra configuration information in running the script with both startup methods so not too sure on that).

[F1Fish]

If the system is just a media server, start over. Rebuild Debian use one of the UMS guides on this site.
If not, Remove UMS from the system, then use one of the guides.
