Madsonic Support

Hello, I have recently setup Madsonic v5.1.5140 along with Java 1.7.0_75-b13 running on my Raspberry Pi2 Model B (quad-core, 1GB of RAM, running newest Raspbian Debian-based Linux for ARMv7). After about a day or so of running, I notice that the Madsonic service has failed with an error within /var/madsonic/madsonic_sh.log pointing me to a Java failure with details in /usr/share/madsonic/hs_err_pid9742.log, which is attached.



After a reboot, everything runs fine for another day or so, then the same error comes back. This is where my expertise ends, and I am at a loss as to what to try to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to try to keep this from happening constantly? Or has anyone else experience this?

Hello,

I have Madsonic 5.2 running on a Raspberry Pi 2 without any issues. However I'm not using OpenJDK 1.7

Maybe you could try updating to Oracle Java 1.8 JRE

Here's my server information:
jetty/8.y.z-SNAPSHOT, java 1.8.0_33, Linux 3.18.9-v7+ (arm) (122.8 MB / 248.0 MB)

I would recommend you to use the Oracle JAVA8 implementation,
it's more reliably than OpenJDK and has ARM HW Floating point support.

Click the download button of Java Platform (JDK) 8. Click to Accept License Agreement,
download jdk-8u33-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz for Linux ARM v6/v7 Hard Float ABI.

Log-in Raspberry Pi, enter the command to extract jdk-8u33-linux-arm-vfp-hflt.tar.gz to /opt directory.
Set default java and javac to the new installed jdk8.
After all, verify with the commands with -verion option.

I was having the same problem, using the same java version, will give this a shot and report back, was very, very frustrating, crossing my fingers!

For the record, the PI now ships with Oracle Java, after swapping back to it, I remember doing it the first time.

I'm too new to post links, but look on the Raspberry Pi site

Thank you for the guide Madevil, however, I tried this, and the server worked for a day or two, then back to the same 503 Service unavailable error.

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome... since I have been unsuccessful at getting Madsonic to stay running for more than 24-48 hours, I have switched back to the newest version of Subsonic (5.2.1 (build 4428) – March 4, 2015) running Java 1.8.0_33 with the instructions included above from MadEvil, and it's been running great.

Hopefully once the next version of Madsonic comes out, I can switch back as I'm beginning to miss some of the features of Madsonic, that Subsonic doesn't have.

that is good infomations and useful, thank for sharing.
