Server is not connected Problem

Post by Nuvera »

I am running My Media on a Raspberry Pi. Since version 106 I am getting a problem.
When Switched on, my watched folders are scanned and the echo device plays the music OK. When the watched folder scan is completed the music stops and the echo device says that the server is not connected. The server is connected, and when I check the service status the following message is displayed.

xdg-open: unexpected option '-i'

After a certain time it starts working again, and it then seems to work OK

Can you send us a zipped log file by using the Download Logs button on the Support tab of the My Media web console? Please send this via email to our support email address.

How large is your library? We introduced some additional index locks around this time so this may be doing overzealous locking which we will address

I have emailed the diagnostic logs to support.

All the while the 'Watched Folders' were being scanned, all worked normally.
As soon as the folders finished the My media web-server locked up and was unusable.

After many reboots and getting the same error every time I decided to re-install version 104 software.
All is now working normally. I'll give it a few days test and then upgrade to 106.

Can you update to version 1.3.111.0 (or later) from our website - this should resolve the issue of getting Server Not connected warnings from Alexa for a period of time after Watch Folder scanning for largish media collections.
