Universal Media Server | Forum

Hi Marco (buccia),

No doubt you are in very capable hands with Optimus, and he will most likely have a fix for you soon.

In the meantime, if you haven't tried this already, try booting your iMac using the 64bit Kernel; restart your iMac and hold down '6' and '4' keys during startup process. Check out Apple knowledge base article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3773, for more information.

Then check: You should get something ending with: RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Give UMS another try --fingers crossed!

Hi Optimus!
Everything is running smooth on OSX 10.8.4. Nice Job!

UTF8 accents doesn't shown on your last build. I had build the 3.0 with the Java 1.6 version from github and it seems to work fine.

Thanks.

Hi Kefran and Optimus
even if i do

sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64

and get this message

setting kernel architecture to: x86_64
changes to kernel architecture have been saved.

after restarting my mac, the output of

uname -a

is still
Darwin imac-di-marco.homenet.telecomitalia.it 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:26:45 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

and UMS does not start anyway........

Thanks for the help
Marco

uman2k thats strange, it should show up. When subjunk releases the 3.0.0.a1 check that out. It's up on sourceforge now under /Beta Builds/Offical Builds if you want to check it out

Marco,

What CPU does your iMac have?

Hi Kefran,
i have just checked: i have a late 2006 iMac, which does NOT support 64-bit kernel. Does this mean that the problems i am experiencing are due to this? In this case i fear that there are no solutions
Ciao marco

Yes i think the issue is related to the fact the kernel spits out a different value for a required setting on i386 version of OS-X. Don't fear though i'm attempting to work on a fix as time permits (work, work, work)

Thanks Optimus.
You are the best!
Ciao marco

Hi Optimus,

I gotta say you guys impress the hell outta me....I was looking for a 'complimentary solution' for my home as I have a mix of Mac/PC and also some very old AVI's that I couldn't be bothered moving over. So venturing through the web I cam across Plex, Serviio etc And I was not impressed at all, and i will be honest I am far from being a techie. I came across UMS around a week ago but really haven't had a chance to do anything with until now. So I decided based on your post to create a green fields site with UMS 3.0.0-a1 on Java.

My environment is Wired/Wireless, a iMac iCore i3 3.2 GHZ 4GB RAM 1 TB of Disk. I am on OSX 10.8.3. I have 2 EXT 2TB USB HDDs connected, 1 serving Apple Media, the other serving 'non' Apple media. Not surprising and i was half expecting it, i was having some performance issue's...My Mac connects to a 5GHZ Wireless network and with UMS I am using DLNA to 2 of my SAMSUNG Smart TV's (2 yrs old max), a Sony Bravia Wireless BDPS390 (Blu Ray with DLNA). So I had a few issues and decided to debug for you and attach. I think there are a few issues outside of our control like.

with Java Plugin's - I kept getting this error xception in thread "pool-172-thread-26" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:

And 'KNOWN' issues such as *sandboxd[5309]: ([5303]) mdworker(5303) deny mach-lookup com.apple.ls.boxd+ and the andbox: sandboxd(1863) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd - that seem to have the Mac world in a tizz about.

Anyway sorry i went for so long but wanted to have everything down for you - hopefully it helps and feel free to ask me for any other reports etc...Just remember I am no techie so explain with loud letters


P.S> Before anyone says anything yes crazy, and also next week i pick up my Quad Core MAC Mini as an OSX Server, and of course upgrading the iMac to 16GB Ram
