Library Server has failed to start
dmeinl:
Had the exact same problem today all of a sudden. 52199 wasn't blocked at all. I even configured and started another http service on 52199 which was working without any issues. MC27 on 52199 just says "Library Server has failed to start". This happens even if I left open the options dialogue without restarting the mc media server - set the port to 52199 => Library server failed, directly within the open dialogue set the port to 52198 => success! http://webplay.jriver.com/libraryserver/lookup?id=**** is always ok with both ports.
Drakonas:
I wanted to say that I also have this issue. Port is open. Wireshark sees no activity on ports 52199 or 52200. The ports are not used. I have checked using the methods here. I have the firewall allowing ports 1900, 52100-52200 across my entire system. MC just refuses to take the port. Other ports do not work.
This is in the log file, after I enable the server and close the popup error:

As you can see, port 1900 succeeds. The others all fail.
I think the team needs to stop looking at this as a customer issue.

I've asked someone else to look at this thread, but if this was a generic MC problem, a lot of things just wouldn't work for anyone.
It's likely that something is blocking ports somewhere.
Security software running on your machines. A firewall is sometimes part of it.
Firewall on the router.
Check the Weird Problems thread in my signature for ideas.
I don't think it's a customer issue. I do think it's a network configuration issue on your end. Sorry.

This was really strange. Doing more digging, you may be right.
Windows utilities said the port wasn't in use and there was no traffic on the port, but attempting to bind it from other tools found it to error out as well.
I'm not sure if this was it, but I had a Netgear A6210 wireless dongle a few weeks ago and returned it. I found it still had a service running on my machine. I uninstalled the Netgear Genie and its driver. All of the sudden I could bind the port again. MC binds now. What the...? Was it holding all kinds of ports hostage or something?
Anyway, thank you. Sorry if I sounded short. But this didn't make any sense because no tool saw activity on that port and no tool reported the port in use. But it wouldn't bind.
Toshi.Shimizu:
On Jan.4, 2023 I have a same problem with MC30.
My first try to configure a MC30 DLNA server, it pops up a message related to a firewall setting.
Anyway, my JRemote had connected to my MC30 server, but it didn't work next day.
So I tried to reconfigure a media network setting page, but it shows the same message 'Library Server has failed to start. ...'.
Please dig in this problem as the problem happens with MC30 latest version.
Thanks, Toshi
