Universal Media Server | Forum

Hello, first of all thanks for this great software, always worked perfect with my smarttv.
Until today I'm afraid.
Today my MAC updated java and now UMS can't make a connection anymore.

This is what I get in the log file.

4-17 17:20:07 UPNP network exception
java.net.SocketException: Can't assign requested address
at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.socketSetOption(Native Method) ~[na:1.6.0_45]
at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.setOption(PlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:309) ~[na:1.6.0_45]
at java.net.MulticastSocket.setNetworkInterface(MulticastSocket.java:536) ~[na:1.6.0_45]
at net.pms.network.UPNPHelper$2.run(UPNPHelper.java:341) ~[ums-2.6.1.jar:na]
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) [na:1.6.0_45]

I've also tested an other MAC which didn't had the java update yet, running UMS 2.4.2, this still works like a charm.
I'm hoping this is a minor problem that can be fixed by myself, but your help would be very appreciated.

Thanks, Jelmer

Edit:

I also tried an older version of UMS (2.4.2) to see if there is a difference. The error code looks a little different, but the outcome is the same:

I had this problem for a short while to fix it I went and checked "Force networking on the server en1(192.168.x.xx)

I left out the last digits for privacy sake. However you should be able to force networking on "en1".

got the same error... after java security updata....


btw, Force networking on the server en1xxx.xx.xx.xx not working for me ^^;

plz fix it and sorry for my bad english^^

The Same for me:
UMS or PMS (all Versions) doesn't work anymore exactly since Apples Java-Update to Version 7 Update 21.
My Log has the same Problem-Entries as posted initially from Jelmer.
My Java-Version prior to this Update was Version 7 Update 7....and everything worked fine.

I tried to restore to a prior Java-Version http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559?viewlocale=de_DE
and afterwards to remove java completely....no chance.

Is there anyone out there, who also made this update and UMS still works?
Please leave your comments!

Also i would appreciate help from our specialists in this matter


Thanx so far!!

My System Info:
NFO 2013-04-19 13:05:55.010 [main] Java: 1.6.0_45-Apple Inc.
INFO 2013-04-19 13:05:55.011 [main] OS: Mac OS X 64-bit 10.8.3

Ok firstly UMS doesn't use java 7, Only java 6 (in OS-X that is). I'm not sure what the problem is but let me have a look and get back to you with an update

People using PS3MediaServer were having luck by restoring the previous version of /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines through Time Machine. This worked for me too. Not a solution, but a temporary fix for the time being.

..thanx, sujayt. Used the Backup-Directory from monday and now UMS works again.

I also updated Java 7 Update 21 manually from the Java-Website, afterwards UMS still worked..
Seems, as if Apple built their own special Update-Version...once again

Nevertheless i would be interesting, what optimus_prime eventually digs up

Thank you all for your help!

Hi all, Just would like to clear a few things up. Apple releases there own java 6 updates that contain there own code as well as oracles(sun). UMS at this stage will only utilize java 6 and never uses java 7 as it's compiled for java 6. At this stage we cannot move across to java 7 until we find a way to let UMS run in 10.8 OS-X Builds. Apple's new build for java 1.6.0_45 has networking issues with UMS. You can test a new version of UMS from this link https://sourceforge.net/projects/unimed ... %20Builds/ that should fix UMS working with apples new java update. Any issues please post with a debug log so i can look into it.
EDIT: the more testers the better

Hello Optimus_prime,

Thank you for looking into this, your test build is working perfect for me!
Some hidden folders show up on my SmartTV now, but that's not a problem for me.

Thanks again from one happy UMS user,

Jelmer

The test build works again Thank you very much
