Doh. Upgraded my Linux box to Fedora Core 4, installed Sun Java 1.5, and now jEmplode can't see my empeg over ethernet. Downgraded java back to 1.4.2, and still, same problem.

Anyone else have jEmplode working with Fedora Core 4??

Cheers,
Ross

Good to see that you're still providing support Mike!

I can ping and telnet into my empeg no problem so the network connection is fine. Here's the output from both v56 and v70 of jEmplode:

So you are doing a direct connection (i.e. ip address is typed in) vs a broadcast, right? You might try broadcast to see if it makes a difference? Double check the address that is typed in in the options dialog to make sure it's valid and doesn't have any spaces or something weird around it?

Do you have more than one network interface on there?

The direct connection worked before, but in fact I had both broadcast and direct connection options checked. Choosing broadcast only I receive the "No devices found" message after a while. Occasionally I receive this console output too (see attachment - doesn't look good!).

I have other network connections set-up (e.g. wireless), but all are deactivated when I'm connecting to the empeg via a direct cross-over cable connection with static ip addresses. The network is working, the pc can both see and access the empeg, it's just jEmplode can't see the empeg.

It's very mysterious, and I'm fairly sure I'm not doing anything stupid (though I've said that too soon before...).

Offtopic, but maybe someone's willing to answer a question. How is -fullversion more useful than -version?

Quote:
C:\Documents and Settings\nbardsley>java -version
java version "1.4.2_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_07-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_07-b05, mixed mode)

C:\Documents and Settings\nbardsley>java -fullversion
java full version "1.4.2_07-b05"

-version didn't print all that back in the day ... it used to be that fullversion just printed slightly more than "1.4.2". now it's just muscle memory

1) java -fullversion:
java full version 1.4.2_02-b03

2) java -Ddebuglevel=30 -jar jemplode.jar:

2a) when broadcasting:
SSDPDiscoverer.startDiscovery0: null
SSDPDiscoverer.startDiscovery0: capella/152.78.192.72
Broadcasting on 255.255.255.255...
Broadcasting on 152.255.255.255...
Broadcasting on 152.78.255.255...
Broadcasting on 152.78.192.255...

2b) when connecting to a specified IP address:

Hope this helps,
Ross

from a google search on this error:
"fetch/store fails immediately with a stack trace starting as follows:

This is a known problem with the Fedora Core 4 people. The FC4 installation notes suggest that users upgrade their JRE to the latest 1.5_04 distribution from Sun at http://java.sun.com.

Yes

The "Connections Options" specific address is:
152.78.192.74

Pinging this extract string works fine:
[rsc@capella ~]$ ping 152.78.192.74
PING 152.78.192.74 (152.78.192.74) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 152.78.192.74: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.664 ms

Quote:

I gave the 1.4.2 output as I knew that was working fine in FC1... as I mentioned earlier 1.5.0 also isn't working, but I didn't use it in this test in case it was a secondary issue of using 1.5.0! Anyway, 1.5.0 doesn't give much in the way of debug output:

[rsc@capella lib]$ java -fullversion
java full version "1.5.0_04-b05"

[rsc@capella lib]$ java -Ddebuglevel=30 -jar jemplode.jar
SSDPDiscoverer.startDiscovery0: null
SSDPDiscoverer.startDiscovery0: capella/152.78.192.72
SocketConnection (10923757): actually open

Does "actually open" mean "already open" or "OK, it's open" ??

Thanks for your help so far,
Ross

Go back to the unicast and turn off broadcast and send me the output w/ 1.5? "Actually open" is my debug output that says when the socket is truly opened (vs just creating the object that encapsulates the connection)

Er, Mike, that was just a specific address connection in the last debug option, I didn't have broadcast turned on in that example... should I be seeing more debug output?? I could leave it running for a while longer to see if anything happens. That debug output is all I see for just a minute or so, before I give up and close down jEmplode.

There was no exception on the last debug output -- Did it actually fail?

No... but it didn't succeed either! ;-)

It doesn't find the empeg and it doesn't seem to time-out within 5-10 minutes. That's all the debug output it provides in that time.

This is a really odd problem ... Can you run it, let it get into discovery, then send it a kill -QUIT and send me all the output that prints out on the console?

Mmm.. I wonder if this is the buggy empeg ethernet issue showing up..

None of my empegs will talk to (J)Emplode or anything else until after I ping them once or twice. Well, sometimes they work without the ping, but..

Interesting -- it appears to be hung trying to download the installed version # from hijack. It actually found and connected to your player, though.

Did you reinstall and not install Hijack maybe? Try turning off "use hijack when possible" in options and see if that connects?

And if that's the issue, perhaps Jemplode could, in a future version, be a bit more robust in how it checks for Hijack?

Actually it passed the preliminary check for hijack -- As far as jEmplode is concerned he has hijack, it's just hanging trying to read data from it. I'm not really sure what happens if you let the socket timeout, which it eventually will. I've never seen it hang where it is ... Really weird problem.

Nope... I haven't messed around with the empeg since upgrading to Fedora 4. I suspect my old Fedora 1 PC will still be able to connect to the empeg, though I couldn't say for sure (I won't go into the various reasons why I can't test that right now!). Of course, it's possible something has gone screwy on the empeg which is just coincident with my OS upgrade...

I'll try turning off "use hijack" tonight.

Thanks,
Ross

Hey, that worked! :-) It's nice to see the player's database again!

So what does the "Use Hijack When Possible" option do; i.e. what am I missing out on by turning it off?

Thanks for your support - this must be the best internet forum in history.

Still, none the wiser about what caused the problem though...

Cheers,
Ross

If you want to help diagnose/fix it, then turn that option back on, and connect up a serial console while you try it again. Anything Hijack has an issue with, gets reported on the serial console.

You really don't WANT that option off -- It means you're not going to use Hijack for anything, which means you fall back to old Empeg protocol (specifically uploading and downloding are done entirely with FTP when you have hijack enabled). But follow Mark's instructions now and maybe it will reveal itself ...

Oh wait.

Is it possible you have a software firewall that is blocking passive ftp connections back to your machine from the Empeg?

Actually, Hijack does not work with passive FTP. I think you meant to ask about (active) FTP connections.
