Nothing but problems

The Windows client won't connect cuz of a Java Null exception and the placeshifter errors with a filesystem error:

From the sage server log:

sage.PlaybackException: ERROR (-3,0x0): There was a problem accessing the filesystem for playback.

The Sage server insists on not respecting a mount of /var/media to a specific folder.

Instead it keeps mounting:

/dev/sda1 on /var/media/external/sda1 type reiserfs (rw)

instead of respecting an fstab mount of:

/dev/sda1 /var/media reiserfs defaults 0 0

This occurs on two brand new installs of both.

Tried the setting from Narflex and no luck

Are you running the standard Gentoo install as per http://www.sage.tv/linuxOEMinstall.html or are you running SageTV on top of a different linux install? Any details of deviations from the standard Gentoo setup may also help...

Debian Etch basic install

apt-get install (also tried from source)
libfaad-dev
libfaad0
libmad0
libmad0-dev

lame from source

jre 1.5.0 (tried many versions)

Going off of the MVP error and since the logs show that the server is attempting to mount /var/media/external/sda1, why is the server not apparently able to use the following directory as specified in the config?

seeker/video_storage=/var/media/tv,20000,3;

Please enable debug by adding debug_logging=TRUE to your Sage.properties files. Reproduce the problem you were having, stop the server with the stopsage script then upload the complete log file.

Is the placeshifter running the same version? The problem seems to be on the client side.

Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Client. Not using placeshifter.

I had tried an MVP with the error referencing the file system in a previous post.

Thanks, Demo.

Where can I send you a beer?

I think my problem was that I originally had the Windows server version trial and then bought the Linux version. My Windows client remained the same.

I was having all kinds of problems with the Windows client not interacting with the Linux server. Some mentioned here as well as directory paths being messed up.

The resolution was to uninstall and manually delete all remnants of the client and THEN reinstalling. Simple uninstall and reinstall failed. The only think I can assume is that when the Windows client was connecting to the Windows server that there are some local client files that are specific to the OS server version. These may have caused an issue when connecting to the Linux server later......
