MinimWatch - quits

[simoncn]

Thanks for trying to find the hs_err_pid file. I believe this file is not always created, especially on Windows.

MinimWatch is written in Java and uses the Java runtime. It also uses the ohNet library for UPnP discovery and communication.

If MinimWatch has a fatal error, details about this error will be captured in the minimwatch.log file. There is nothing like this in the minimwatch.log file, so the fatal error has not come from MinimWatch.

If the Java runtime has a fatal error, details about this error should be captured in the hs_err_pid file. As there is no such file, it seems likely that the fatal error is not from the Java runtime. This would mean that the fatal error has come from the ohNet library.

The fatal error occurred while a MinimServer instance was being closed. This would have triggered ohNet activity in MinimWatch as a result of UPnP communication between MinimServer and MinimWatch when this happened. Putting all this together, I think the evidence that we have at present points to ohNet as the most likely cause of the problem.

It is possible to run MinimWatch with additional debug information from ohNet. To do this, you need to do the following:

1) From the MinimWatch minim icon, select Options > Properties (watch). Do not select Properties.
2) In the window that opens, check the title bar says MinimWatch Properties
3) Change the ohnet.debug setting to All
4) Close the MinimWatch Properties window
5) Enable the Debug logging level for MinimWatch as you have done previously
6) Exit MinimWatch and restart it

When you next see the problem, post the zipped minimwatch.log file as you have already done. This file will be much larger because of the additional ohNet debugging information. There is a chance that this might provide more detailed information about what was happening in ohNet just before it had the fatal error. ohNet does not usually provide much useful information in such cases but it is worth a try.

I hope this helps you to understand why this is not an easy problem to debug and fix.
