Mezzmo Version 5 Media Server keeps crashing

[Paul]

Your original post mentioned Mezzmo server was crashing. As mentioned in my reply, this issue has been fixed. To get the fix, you need to download the Mezzmo installer from www.mezzmo.com and run it. You do not need to uninstall your current Mezzmo. The Mezzmo installer will detect your current Mezzmo and ask you to repair the fileset. Click Yes. Mezzmo installer will repair your Mezzmo program files and hopefully you should be OK again.

Actually, I'm having a problem where the server stops after a few hours of inactivity. I realize that this might be a "feature" but I would like to know if I can disable it.

It seems that every time I want to access Mezzmo, the server is not running. So I have to go to the computer, start the server, and go back to my television.

The server tends to start without issue, although occasionally, the whole thing has to be re-booted. In truth, I have a large database of media, in a number of different formats, though most of my files are now MP4's and MKV's, and it could be updating the database, but I haven't added anything to it in the past 48 hours, and after 2-4 hours of inactivity, I am back here re-booting the server so I can access my media.

I've done this easily about 10 times since the last update. Is this something that can be changed?

If you can capture this in a set of logs, then we'll know why it's happening. Turn on logging (see http://www.mezzmo.com/wiki/doku.php?id=using_logging) and then restart your Mezzmo server. Use Mezzmo as you normally do, and then when it stops suddenly as you say, then stop your Mezzmo server (if running) and exit Mezzmo (Windows) app. Zip up all the logs and email them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com.
