Can not connect Sage Client to Server

[JasonJoel]

Blah.. I give up. Everything has been working fine for months...


Now for some reason I can not connect either of my Sage Clients to the server. On both of the client machines I get the following error:

Unable to connect to the Sage TV Server at:apollo
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read Timed Out

I've tried uninstalling both Sage Client and Java on the clients are reinstalling, but that did not help.

I've also tried uninstalling SageTV, deleting the directory entirely, and reinstalling - no help there either. I did not try reinstalling java on the SageTV machine though.

Anything else to try?

ATLAS was my OLD server box.. APOLLO is the current server box.

Nope, that is the weird part.

But, it seems to be working again (after doing nothing in particular).. So go figure!!!

Not sure what got it working again... Didn't change networking settings on any machine. Didn't reinstall anything else. Already rebooted all of the machines multiple times.

Could it be that it won't let clients connect if it is actively getting EPG data? That is about the only thing I can think of that it might have been doing. Since I had just deleted the directory and reinstalled it, it was likely getting EPG data.

Seems unlikely that would do it though.

I get that same message on my 802.11b network. I think my wireless connection craps out, which causes the error, then reconnects a few seconds later. You wired or wireless?

[JasonJoel]

Got one of each for Sage clients. One 54G and one regular ethernet.

Been working fine all afternoon now. Guess I'll just call it a mystery and watch to see if it happens again.

Good catch Jason. I just fixed it for the next build. There apparently was a problem where SageTVClients trying to connect to the SageTVServer while it was updating its EPG data could end up failing on the connection. (I added them as update listeners before I synchronized their data, now I do it in the right order with the whole thing sync locked, so no problems now)

Thanks.

Cool!

So it wasn't a mystery, but a bug. That makes me feel better!

I actually contributed for once.. heh
