Mezzni server crashed 0 No longer able to connect to server from any device

[DaveyDee]

My hard drive was on the point of failing, I imaged the drive, repaired windows 10, but...

Mezzmo seemed unaffected, the Server shows as started, the Mezzmo manager seems to be ok however, none of my clients, Android, Samsung, etc. can even detect or connect to the Server.

Any suggestuins on what action(s) I can take to recover from this?

[Peter]

Please try temporarily disabling your Windows Firewall to see if the clients can detect the server. Also check the interface list in 'Media Server Settings' to see if Mezzmo is listening on the correct interface.

Turned off the Firewall, still no connection with Mezzmo clients, the Android app will not even allow me to ADD the server manually, and the Samsung TV's will not access the server. Strangely enough, the Server is accessible from the File Manager on my other PC's though, showing as a Network Location.

I can also log in on all the devices using web browsers, just not the Mezzmo apps (Android/Samsung)

Try enabling logging in Mezzmo then after restarting your Mezzmo media server browse for servers from a device and look in the MezzmoMediaServer log for a GET request on /desc

Do you have your Mezzmo server set to allow the device to connectt ? And to allow new devices to connect ?

[DaveyDee]

Yes, all settings to allow, but in the log I am now seeing some strange (to me) items, a lot of sem_destroy items, and entries from HOST:239.255.255.250:1900 that just make no sense...

The service ffmpeg.exe is currently running at 86.9% CPU, and 30.1MB/s Disk within Mezzmo (32 bit) according to Task Manager

Also getting log items like there:

[Peter]

It could be that the device is in the Media Devices list but in the properties the box to allow the device to connect is not checked.

[DaveyDee]

I did check that, and also the Allow all new devices to connect to Mezzmo was ticked.

I think Ihave finally tracked dwon the problem, to a certain extent, I can now connect devices to the server, however, either the client or server (not sure which) will allow me to play one movie/episode, when that finishes, the client freezes out, and when I back all the way out, I have lost the connection to the server again... It is really strange.
