Port in Use - Unhandled Exception on Server Launch

[walshy002000 2]

Hi Everyone,

 

First off, apologies if this is a bit brash, the forum just lost my last full post about this :/

 

Anyhow, I've running the beta (3.0.5233.40306), everything has been running smooth until last few weeks when it's saying a port is in use when starting MB server. Funny thing is, if I don't close the error dialog and leave it open, everything works fine (web and accessing via MB classic), so I'm not sure what port isn't working. MB server is a fairly vanilla install with ServerWMC and a couple of other plugins I've been using for ages (Trailers, Trakt, etc.).

 

I've killed every process/service I can (except for VMWare workstation and SVN server services), and it still claims a port is in use. The web GUI says it's using ports 8096 and 8945, both of which are free when I launch it. The only real werid thing I've noticed is that one MB process/service is running when I've closed everything and I can't kill it:

 

MediaBrowser.ServerApplication.exe:9996 UDP Morpheus:ssdp *:*

 

TCPView can't find the process, and I can't terminate the connection (I request the process and connection to close and nothing happens). I've done a reinstall and multiple restarts with no luck.

 

I've attached the MB server log and my TCP View log with everything (VMWare and SVN aside) closed.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

i got the same unhandled error in logs for the 1st time of 03/05. Only happened once. never experienced your symptoms though.

 

not any help i suspect, but i thought i'd mention it.

MB also uses UDP 7359 for server discovery broadcasts

is UDP 9996 used by a plugin, have you tried disabling all plugins.

I have noticed with this build (3.0.5233.40306) the process hangs around for anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes before dying, when MBS is closed or the service is stopped.

[walshy002000 2]

Thanks guys. Can't see anything using either of those UDP ports. The weird thing is, it will do this even after a reboot, so all ports should be open (instead of pending closure from just a shutdown of MBS).

 

How can I start MBS without loading the plugins? Couldn't find anything online.

Theres no quick n easy way I am aware of. You will need to remove plugins, test, then add back later. Normally plugins persistently store their configuration and come back ok.

Sorry about the delayed response, just had our first son recently

 

Anyhow, still can't get it working. Tried complete uninstall and new install (beta 3.0.5287.19943 reconfiguring everything so no settings we re-used), no plugins, tried to run as service (crashes (presumably because of the same error). Even tried changing the ports, and I still get the error, which to me, says it's actually MB trying to create sockets that have already been created by the same MB instance, which is kind of hard to troubleshoot

I've seen this issue happen on users machine for a few different reasons - other app using the port, malware installed, bad entries in system hosts file, or some kind of UAC/permissions issue where we're not able to get authorization from windows to use the port.

[walshy002000 2]

Thanks Luke, I've checked the relevant ports are free when MB is not running (using TCPView) and they're all free. My hosts file has no entries in it and UAC is completely disabled. Malware scans show nothing (and since this is my server that never actually does much this is very remote).

 

Looking at the log excerpt below, it doesn't actually tell me what port/resource is causing the problem. Can someone else look in this part of their logs and tell me what their log shows MB is trying to do after starting the web server?

if uac was disabled during the install process that could be it

I've started seeing this problem regularly on my MB3 server.  Sometimes my Xbox extender won't connect to the server so I check the Windows box and the icon isn't there in the systray.  I start the MB3 server and get told the port is in use.  There's normally a hung MediaBrowserServer task that needs killing.

I am having this problem with one of my PC's now as stated in above posts. App on the laptop was finding the server just fine until a month or so ago. I can specify the IP address and it will find it but it does not happen on its own. Would really like to figure out what is broken and fix it in case it shows up on other clients.

 

PC is on same LAN Network, same IP scheme and subnet. Can ping the server from the client as well. Checked LMHost files and nothing is in there except stock values from Microsoft.
