Java 8 Update 191 (64 bit) Problem

[speckledegg]

So I recently updated my Java 8 to update 191, and found that after doing so, I could no longer connect to UMS on my Panasonic Viera.

I tested this a couple of times by uninstalling it, checking UMS (which worked) and then reinstalling and it definitely seems that the Java update is to blame.

Am I doing something obviously incorrect, or is there a compatibility issue with UMS, Java 191 and the Panasonic Viera conf?

Apologies if these are dumb questions - I'm just a 'normal' user with little programming knowledge...

This is interesting since we did have an increase in reports of failed connections after that version of Java was released. Thanks for reporting it. You may be able to fix it manually by using the "force network interface" option on the General tab

I tried this an it didn't work. I was hoping the latest UMS update would correct the problem but it hasn't.

As this appears to be a java thing, and the previous version of java works fine, I'm not sure what I need to post to help this get solved. I'm good at following directions if you can point me in the right direction.

You could try it with 7.5.0 since we slightly changed how this works in 7.6.0. Is there any difference between those two versions? Other than that, we might just need to start warning users not to update to that version of Java. Oracle seem to be breaking things with every update recently.
