MC 31 on Linux serves no files to MC clients

(1/3) > >>

I wasnt sure how to phrase this problem.  In the nutshell, MC clients (Mac and Windows) see no files when connecting to my MC server (Linux)

MC panel on the Mac or Windows, connects to the MC Linux server just fine and can see and play files.

Looks like a client/server problem.   The scenario below worked fine last week. I'm not 100% certain when it failed, but I suspect after an MC update that things went wrong.

 

Tried reinstalling MC on the server a few times (almost run out of license restores).

I've always thought MC client/server to be very easy ... but now, I can't get anything to work.

Am I missing something obvious ?

MC 31.0.42 server on Linux (Ubuntu LTS 22.04)

    Library loaded with many videos
    All playable fine on the server
    Library server turned on with authentication
    No DLNA

MC 31.0.38 on Macbook (M1) client

    Connects to Linux MC server OK
    No files loaded

For fun, I tried MC 31 on Windows connected to the Linux server

    Connects OK
    No files loaded

So there were some client/server issues reported with some of the recent Mac builds; do you see the same issues with the latest version of MC for Mac (.42)?

See https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,136673.0.html

If the latest build for Mac doesn't work, it might be worth testing the other way (i.e. roll the client back to .38 for Mac and the server back to .36 for Linux) to see if that resolves the issue (if as you say everything was working last week).

Hi.

Thank you for the advice. 

I suspected the server was the problem, so I rolled it back to 30.0.96.

(uninstalled MC 31 and used instJRMC to install the earlier version).

Now, both the Mac and Windows clients connect and are served files, as before.

I guess MC 31.0.42 Linux has a client/server problem.

31.0.42 LINUX should not have any client/server issues.

Is is possible that there's an incompatibility between Mac MC 31.0.38 (my current MC client) and MC Linux 31.0.42 (my former MC server) ?  Downgrading either one will resolve the problem ?
