Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

Some times when I want to access my computer media files, I find Serviio represented by a grey icon suggesting that it is not accessible.
Nothing I can do will coax it in to life!
I've re-booted the TV, opened the console on my PC and refeshed each entry on the status page, and none of these has poked Serviio into life!
I have in desperation deleted the serviio entry on the TV, but it doesn't reappear when the TV is re-booted, so now Serviio no-longer exists, as far as the TV is concerned!
Since I'm working on the PC, I am reticent to re-boot, as either "exiting Serviio", or "Exiting Serviio console", means it is impossible to re-start it without re-booting the PC...which is a pain in the Ass!!

Please advise:-
1) How I can re-introduce my TV to Serviio. :lol:
2) How I can poke Serviio into life when this occurs in the future. :roll:
3) How I can re-start Serviio without having to re-boot my PC. :|

I will be away for two weeks commencing Saturday, and would like to leave this in working order for my wife and family, so your response today would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

it sounds like that at least one of the two devices are changing it's IP address. Make sure that both have a static IP address and see if this problem goes away.

If you want to post your serviio.log file here we can look at it and make sure there is no other problems. It is in the directory that you installed serviio in under the log folder.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

Thanks for replying so quickly moltra, it's appreciated.
Navigating on the TV: Settings>Network>Network set-up>View Network status... shows an IP address and Mac address.
Finding these in the router interface of my PC (it's a Speedtouch 585v6) lists the assignment as "Static".

Looking at the page for my PC, this was listed as "Always use the same address"..."No".
Going into the "Configure" page, I can fill the empty tick box that says "Always use the same address", but that still shows that assignment is by "DHCP".

1) By doing this have I now made the PC a static address?
2) Does this have "consequences" for my internet connection?
3) The TV still can't see Serviio, how do I fix that....preferably without re-booting the PC?

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

You can re-announce Serviio by clicking Stop / Start server in the console or restart the player/TV. Make sure Serviio binds to the right address (in the log), or force it by entering the address of the PC running Serviio to the Bound address field in the console.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

On the serviio console there is a place to bind serviio to your PC IP address. Put your PC's IP address there and then at the top of that screen is a button to stop and start serviio service. Do this and see if it shows up. Also from a command line try and ping your TV's address using the following command.

  Code:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the xxx are the TV IP address.

I would also run the following command to make sure something did not close your ports that serviio uses.


You run the following command from the command line and it will show the computers open ports.

  Code:
netstat -an |find /i "listening"

Post the results of the ping and the netstat here. I would also stop serviio go to the serviio log directory either rename or delete the serviio.log file and restart serviio and then post the new serviio.log file here so we can look at it and see if there is any hints to the problem.

OK, these are the results of the "Listening" test, and then the "ping".

In the "Log folder" there is a "Serviio log" file which I can open, and also a file named "Serviio.log.1" which I can't open.
I have deleted the "Serviio log" and left the "log.1"
In order to delete the log file, I had to exit both Serviio and Serviio console.

trying to re-start it without re-booting the PC, I double clicked every item in the "bin" folder!!....one of the items had the desired effect though I don't know which one!!
Can you tell me? :mrgreen:

Here is the new log file:

Serviio is now working just fine on my TV...hopefully this will be evidenced in the above log and no problems will be shown! :lol:
This is a screen shot of the console, The first entry "WMP" IP address 127.0.0.1 has always been there, but I don't know why.
There is also a second entry for my TV, can I safely remove this as the IP is wrong?
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=198KIqDs4iaRuGGZxkSgoB5opct5G0
Can you tell me how I can delay the launch of Serviio at start-up, since it really doesn't need to start immediately as Vista is booting.
A delay of two or three minutes would be imperceptible, and the OS would be able to load more quickly.
Sorry it's such a long post! :oops:

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

On your serviio console I would put your computers IP address in the bind field as talked about below:

  Code:
My device doesn't see Serviio

This could be caused by you having multiple IP addresses on the machine and Serviio binding to a wrong one. Insert IP address of the machine running Serviio into 'Bound IP address' field in Network Settings section in the console or pass system variable serviio.boundAddr including the IP address when starting the server.

Also make sure that TCP port 8895 and UDP 1900 are open in your firewall.

If you are on a Linux based OS, make sure you set up multicast routes properly.

If on Windows, you can push Serviio service down in starting order.



This is from this page http://www.serviio.org/component/content/article/21#q1 it also shows you how to delay starting serviio.

Cerberus wrote:This could be another serviio starts before the network adaptor has start so serviio sees the wrong adaptor.

In window services manager select the serviioservices.exe and go into its properties and select Delayed start and that should fix your issue.

All admins have had server startup tasks that were very sequence driven. My most frequent offender was any service that needed a database to connect to on the same server. While we could get crafty with scripts or running applications outside of the Windows service environment (yuck!), we now have a built-in option for Windows Servers to introduce a second tier of automatic startup.

Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 have the Automatic (Delayed Start) option for service startup. The Delayed Start configuration operates to ease the strain of the boot process; it can also be a boon to administrators who wish to configure applications for tiered startup for sequencing control. The Delayed Start is configured for a service in a familiar fashion. Figure A shows a service configured for Delayed Start.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

Hey! moltra! that's cool!
I've now set Serviio to delayed start.....but when I did, it immediately stopped and the console disappeared!
Clicking on the "Start" button immediately below the "service status" heading, brought up a window that just said"Some services just stop when they're not being used!" Helpfull :roll:

In the end, I managed to get the console back and started, (though the properties window still reports "Service Status...Stopped") :lol:
What the hell! it's working....I think!

Can I just remove the bottom one that is an unknown IP address??

This totally scares me I have no idea about ports and generally just leave the firewall alone! (It's the Windows one)
I'm not really comfortable getting in to that!

Just tell me, now that I have set the IP address for the PC to always use the same, even though it's DHCP provided, will that have any effect on my internet connection? :?

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

No it will not have any effect on your internet. If you can see serviio on your TV, your firewall is letting the packets through, so you should be fine.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

Just tried a re-boot....First surprise was that my mouse nolonger works at the ASUS Splash screen (I believe it's Linux based.)
Then, I could not connect with any web pages except gmail (I tried to send you a message, but not sure it was sent)

Finally I "found" the message that Serviio could not contact the server and had exited.
This was hidden behind the Internet Explorer window with no notification on the task bar.
Is there some way to correct all this? :cry:

Are you running 2 computers? one computer with 2 OS (virtual machines). The reason I asked is the your serviio.log file shows you running Windows Vista?

I think that that is the Serviio console that cannot find the serviio program since you delayed its starting. If you look at your programs that automatically start when windows starts, you will probably see that the serviio console is starting automatically. You only need to run the console when you actually want to change something in serviio. I only run my remote console when I need to change something on my remote serviio.

No, I'm running Vista Ultimate SP2, the Motherboard I have is an ASUS board and they include this interface which launches in seconds, before Windows boots, called "Splashtop it is I think Linux based and allows you to access various services, email, music, skype etc. without booting into Windows.
The inference being that Life's too short to be waiting for Windows to boot every time. :D
My mouse used to be useable in this GUI but no longer!
Can't think what may have stopped it...can you?

That sounds like a plan!
Are you refering to the (Sole) entry in my "Startup" folder:- "Serviio Console.exe"?
Because only Serviio Server shows in "services.msc", and that shows as "Automatic,Delayed start".
When you dig down to the folder, vista shows the buff coloured folder in the usual half open style with the "Serviio" logo on a sheet inside it.
When you open the folder, it is empty!!! :lol:
That guy Gates has a strange sense of humour!
So, do I just delete it and create a shortcut somewhere convenient, for easy access?

I do not think that serviio stopped it. If that is indeed a linux boot partition, you would have to install something on the partition to cause it not to work.

  Code:
We've seen the Splashtop instant-on OS demoed on ASUS gear in the past, and now it looks like the company is making the love official: it's going to start shipping it on all its motherboards. ASUS is calling the platform "Express Gate," but it's the same instant-on, ready-to-browse environment we've known about since October: an embedded Linux distro that runs Firefox and Skype off a memory chip linked directly to the BIOS. You might want to hit that link and check out the screenshots, actually -- with ASUS set to ship over a million mobos a month with the feature, chances are it'll be on a machine near you relatively soon.

This sounds like it is on a chip that the only way you could affect it would be to flash it with an updated firmware with special software. I wonder if maybe Splashtop could not see your mouse, on that boot up?

Yes, I think that you will have another serviio start menu under programs that you can use to start the console if you need it. I would delete the servii console.exe in the startup folder.

Yes, there is one in the Bin folder, I could shortcut to that one.
The problem with the "Startup" folder entry is just that it isn't there when you open the folder!!! :shock:
All I can do is delete the Startup folder....or maybe move it to the desktop and rename it first to see if that has the desired effect before banishing it for ever!

I have booted twice since setting the PC's IP address to be the same each time, and each time the mouse failed to work at the splashtop (Expressgate) interface.

As you say, it's not a partition, it's an EPROM or something.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

Where I quoted about the Splashtop, was from a computer magazine website. I have never used a computer with it on it. There is a program called "startup cop" that will show what is being started automatically. You could give that a try.

Or look under services the same place you changed the delay on serviio itself and see if there is a serviio console entry there.

Re: Sony KDL-40NX803 How do I "wake-up" Serviio?

Just tried another Boot up.
This time, instead of "Re-Start", I shut down and did a manual re-start....mouse worked!

Now the bad news.....despite having moved the Startup folder to the desktop, and re-named it "Old",got the same message!
looked in "all progs" and bugger me...there is a new Startup folder repleate with a copy of the Serviio shortcut! :lol:
How on earth do I stop Serviio from creating a startup folder entry?
