Webconfig: Error: BuildContent: Object reference not set

Hi,

I'm trying to run the JowiHue plugin on Linux.

I had it working before, but there was a lot of messing around I had to do just to get JowiHue to discover the bridge. From what I recall, part of this was because I've had some strict iptables rules in place, and part of it seemed to be some confusion about which interface (eth0 or eth1) to broadcast on.

Since then, I've upgraded to the new square bridge and lost my JowiHue connection again.

In case it helps: I stopped the plugin and then deleted all of the old devices. I have also added two rules to the top of my input and output iptables, which grants access both ways for any IP on my internal network (eth0; internet is on eth1).

After more fiddling and frustration (ie. couldn't even find the bridge), I decided to upgrade to the latest beta; version 1.0.6.11.

This version was able to find the bridge and accept the "registration" (ie. pressing the button), but then it would throw an exception. The bridge device would be added to my Devices page, but I couldn't go into the configuration for the plugin without stopping and restarting it. When I went back in, it lost its registration.

Here's a sample of my debug logs, latest entry first, with some duplicate lines removed and the username vetted out:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Boonebytes,

There is an issue indeed in the beta when registering a new bridge. This has been resolved in the release version, but it seems to take some time to publish this release due to the holidays.

If you want to proceed with the release version you can find the download and instructions here.
Make sure that you set the rights in Linux correct after download, at least that has been my struggle each time with Linux when something went wrong

Thanks,

Wim
