Error initializing PMS

[ilsem]

Each time I start PS3 Media Server I get a notification: Configuration error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.jna.Pointer

Because of this I am not able to stream movies to my PS. PS3 Media Server doesn't show on PS.

How can I solve this?

Thx

I am having this same issue, and cannot figure out how to fix it.

The only way I can run PMS successfully is immediately after reinstalling PMS. I should also note that tho this error comes up, PMS GUI does still load, but I can't access the server from PS3.

I've tried all the java/pms uninstall/reinstalls, and have successfully set JAVA_HOME and PATH variables.

Relevant line in the TRACE:

Code: Select all

INFO  2013-03-08 02:12:50.081 [main] Configuration error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.jna.Pointer


How in the world can I fix this??

A post elsewhere mentions problems went away after switching from OpenJDK to Oracle Java.
Which version of Java are you using?

I, too, had the same issue as the 2 users above: trace error, GUI loads, but renderers can't see PMS. I am using Oracle JRE 7u21 and PMS 1.81.0.

Initially I reinstalled both the JRE and PMS, but same error showed in traces. I tried deleting PMS.conf in ProgramData to see if starting with defaults would help; still got the error.

The was also an error regarding MediaInfo (access denied to AppData\Local\TEMP\jnaXXXXXXXXXXXXX.dll) but I forgot to document it exactly.

I uninstalled PMS, REBOOTED and reinstalled PMS. Now all of my renderers can see PMS. The only thing done differently was the reboot.

Hope this helps


EDIT: Scratch that. I'm getting the errors again.

Edit my previous post to recant my solution and include debug lines.

[myteam]

The only way I was able to solve this is by running PMS as Administrator (I just edited the shortcut properties and ticked the "Run as administrator" box). Not a great fix, but the server is up and running again and the family is happy.

I hope this gets addressed so that it can be run with standard permissions again.

Make sure java.io.tmpdir (in the post above, "C:\Users\Parents\AppData\Local\Temp\") exists and is writable by the current user.
