minimstream update crash - Pastim - 19-02-2026 21:23
I'm on minimserver 271, and minimstreamer 2.1.2
Update to minimstreamer 2.1.4 crashes
"java.lang.NullPointerException"
It then says information has been written to a crash log file, but I've no idea where that log is.
Ubuntu 24.04.04

The crash log file is in the minimserver/data directory. It has a name like this:
minimserver-crash-20260217-212712.log
Please attach this file as a file attachment to a post here. Don't copy the text inline into your post. Many thanks.

The error message and stack trace should be in the minimserver.log file. Do you see it there? If so, please copy and paste the complete stack trace into a post here.

Is that because it's a minimstreamer fault? I'm not actually transcoding anything at present in my configuration.

MinimStreamer logs all errors to the minimserver.log file.
Where exactly are you seeing the message saying java.lang.NullPointerException? Is it perhaps coming from MinimWatch?

I would not blame you if you wondered if I was dreaming, so here is the latest log file. I think I'm right in saying that whether I respond OK or Cancel to the last prompt from the error message, no log is created - the last one stays in place and minimserver does not start in either case.

From the above I am deducing that you are getting the error from MinimWatch, as I suspected. To see the error stack trace, select Options > Show log (watch).
