Jumpy: Jump into Python (and onto XBMC) Updated 22 Sep 2012

[Hackashaq]

Hackashaq, I installed SHB30 also to see if I could replicate the problem. It seems there's something weird going on between subsonic and jumpy. When jumpy tries to open up xbmc.py I get an NPE in debug.log:

Code: Select all

[New I/O server worker #1-8] INFO  19:58:36.543 jumpy: adding root folder.
[New I/O server worker #1-8] INFO  19:58:36.544 jumpy: Found 1 scripts.

but if I remove subsonic.jar from plugins everything is normal and I see the xbmc plugins, etc. My jumpy.log looks ok, like yours.

Will post back once I have a chance to dig further tomorow, unfortunately I've got to go now. Maybe Sharkhunter has a clue?

Hi Infidel, I had already removed the subsonic plugin, but no jumpy content still....

Wondering if it's a Win7 x64 issue?

Wondering if it's a Win7 x64 issue?

No, my windows setup is Win7 x64. This is truly baffling. One other thing to try is to run jumpstart, which will confirm whether the socket is working right. First edit the java and python paths in plugins/jumpy/jumpstart.bat if necessary and then open up a console there and type:

Code: Select all

jumpstart xbmc.py

and see what the output is.

Ok Infidel, I edited jumpy.bat to read:

Code: Select all

@echo off

:: edit the 2 paths below if necessary
set PYTHON=C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3MediaServer-SHB\extras\Python27
set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6"

set lib=%~dp0\lib
set PATH=%PYTHON%;%PATH%

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -cp "%lib%/jumpstart.jar;%lib%/py4j0.7.jar" jumpstart %*

and this is the output I get when running it as instructed:

Code: Select all

I should add that I have tried it on two different computers, both on my same network.
Other functions of PSM-SHB30 work as expected, as does PlayOn media server and XBMC.

If I have time tonight, I will try to set up jumpy on the standard PS3mediaserver build...

Thanks again!

I modified the scripts slightly so as to be more verbose, which may help pin things down. So please do a fresh install of version 0.1.1 (from the top of the thread) and then try to jumpstart both xbmc.py and helloworld.py and see if output is any different. Also, try placing python at 'c:\Python27' or somewhere without a space in its path.

Infidel, I tried moving python to C:\ and downloaded the latest jumpy from the first post.

The jumpstart output hasn't changed much:

And the jumpy.log looks like this :

It looks like nothing passes through the socket, but then one would expect errors and a traceback at the python end. To verify that there is output generated by python try running the script without java, i.e. from inside plugins\jumpy run the following (I'm assuming python is still located in SHB\extras):

Code: Select all

set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3MediaServer-SHB\extras\Python27;%PATH%
set PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3MediaServer-SHB\plugins\jumpy\lib
set JGATEWAY=192.168.1.5:25333
python xbmc.py


which should output at least this much:

jumpy-xbmc version 0.2.1

found xbmc addons dir at 'C:\Users\abc\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons'.

and then possibly a traceback complaining about 'pms.setPath'. You may need to hit ctrl-break to end the process. If you see this output then the question is why does it otherwise vanish without a trace, and why doesn't it happen to me?

I'm assuming you're running as administrator. If you want to try turning your firewall off (temporarily ) you can do it like so:

Code: Select all

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

and then later turn it back on:

Code: Select all

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on

Along with a python.exe - System Error:

"The program can't start because python27.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

[Hackashaq]

OK, I installed python and the error is gone

[Hackashaq]

Now everything is working great. It's fantastic having XBMC addons in PS3 mediaserver!

In case others are having issues:
I installed SHB31 (and the latest jumpy from post one)
opened PMS.conf and changed the python path to:

Code: Select all

python.path = C:\\Python27\\python.exe

And installed python27 from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7.msi

Thanks Infidel!

Now everything is working great.

Finally !

"The program can't start because python27.dll is missing from your computer

Code: Select all

python.path = C:\\Python27\\python.exe

And installed python27 from
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7.msi

You know this may be the solution but it still doesn't explain the problem you were having before, since at one point you tried moving python to 'c:\Python27' and still got the error, right? It should have worked afaict, unless the python folder had somehow become corrupted.

Anyhow all's well that ends well!
