Error running SoftSqueeze.jar on Fedora

[jayd]

Hi,

I'm having trouble running softsqueeze on My Fedora box. I get a RasterFormatException. Has anyone seen this before or know how I can workaround it?

My OS:

[mythtv]$ uname -a

Linux mythtv 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 #1 SMP Wed May 7 16:50:09 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

My version of java:

[mythtv]$ java -version

java version "1.7.0"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b21)
IcedTea Server VM (build 1.7.0-b21, mixed mode)

The error I receive. After this, it just hangs with no display on the screen. The player is not registered with squeezecenter.

[mythtv]$ cd /usr/share/squeezecenter/HTML/EN/html/softsqueeze
[mythtv]$ java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar

Try using real (i.e. Sun) Java, and I'd also recommend a stable release like 1.6 rather than 1.7.

That did it. I removed all the java rpms and went to Sun's 1.6 and things are fine now.
