    I you start it with debug enabled it will tell you e.g.
    Code:
    12:48:11 [WARNING] [MinecraftViewer] Debugging is enabled, performance maybe reduced!
    12:48:11 [INFO] [MinecraftViewer] v1.0c Plugin Enabled.
    12:48:11 [INFO] [MinecraftViewer] Query running on 0.0.0.0:25565
    
    plugins/MinecraftViewer/config.yml
    Code:
    query:
        port: 25565
    debug: true
    
    Looks fine to me did you restart the server after making the change? Also check to ensure your pointing at the right port, could be picking up another server.

    great plugin but when my server has been offline for 5 - 20 seconds the banner keeps telling it is offline for a pretty long while :(

    Results are cached for 10mins, so if it loads while its offline you'll see that image for a while.

    Right debugging is now on.

    Code:
    04:06:48 [WARNING] [MinecraftViewer] Debugging is enabled, performance maybe reduced!
    04:06:48 [INFO] [MinecraftViewer] v1.0c Plugin Enabled.
    04:06:48 [INFO] [MinecraftViewer] Query running on 0.0.0.0:25570
    
    Can you please look into why this isn't working, and not put it down to a firewall or router issue, as I have everything else working fine with port forwards and the firewall.

    When in debug it will log any attempt to talk to the port, so you need to look for additional [MinecraftViewer] entries. If you see none then you still have something preventing our systems from talking to the server, either firewall or NAT issue.

    Right for like the third time, I have no firewall enabled on the server, its running ubuntu, and everything else works fine. Again on the router there is no firewall rules enabled to stop this from working. NAT filtering is setup and working, otherwise players wouldn't be able to connect.

    Any other ideas for what might be wrong? It did work at one point then it stopped once I updated past the initial version. Since b it hasn't worked at all. This makes me think if it worked in the past, how can it be an issue at my end because I haven't changed anything network config-wise.

    tcp != udp so even if your players can connect doesn't mean your config is working. If the plugin doesn't get the packets or cant send packets then the firewall / NAT is where the problem must lie I'm afraid.

    When debug is enabled the plugin will report all the packets it receives and the responses it tries to make, if your not seeing anything after start-up and don't have a firewall then NAT is where the problem must be.

    Some problem here - banner is working for about 1 day - than server is displayed as offline with no players (using debian squeeze)

    > hostname is configured
    > tcp and udp port for minecraftviewer is open (hardware firewall)
    > no software firewall

    other banners like
    [​IMG]
    are working perfect

    My ip is changing once a day (dyndns.org)

    Steve Member

    That's your issue then, you need a proper host with a static IP for this to work currently.

    The big site update just went live which adds:-
    • More Standard Banner background images to select from
    • Customisable Colors for the 560x95 Banners
    • Custom Background Images for the 560x95 Banners
    • Support for Dynamic IP address servers via services like DynDNS
    Hope you like it, feedback as always welcome :)

    The site should now support dynamic IP's if you add your server now, let me know how you get on.

    Just been released :)

    Not that simple, the plugin uses UDP and not TCP like the server so you need to ensure your firewall is configured properly.

    Just checked manually and the queries are being rejected with ICMP "udp port 25565 unreachable" so you have a configuration issue on your end.

    It now does this for the large banner, if the address fits of course. I people like it I'll update the small banner to do the same.

    Yep all done :)

    Not any more :)

    No I did that to renew my password the issue is that I never actually activated the account when I made it and I have not looked at the account for ages. After I reset the password I went to login and it told me the account needs activation and to check my email.

    I don't have any activation email thats what I ment It got lost between then and now.

    NP I did not even know that was an issue.
     
  30. Any way to have it not resolve hostname? i want it to display the hostname in the image, not the IP

    Steve Member

    The large banner should display the hostname if it fits, otherwise it will drop back to the IP. It's a new feature so if your not seeing that let me know your server link and I'll have a dig.

    Not added this to the small banner yet, still waiting on peoples feedback ;-)
