Title: DCS-930L live video aplug.jar error
Post by: b9 on January 15, 2014, 06:56:01 AM
I have the latest (7 - 51) Java installed and the latest DCS-930L firmware (1.09) and am running the latest Firefox version (26) as of Jan 15 2014. I have windows 7 home edition on my HP notebook.

I cannot get the live video to work. I get a java aplug.jar error (missing required attribute)
This error happens on the live video screen and on the motion detection screen.

I connect directly using http://192.168.1.68 and I am using a wired connection (same error on the wireless connection)  I have tried using https also.

I've tried full shutdown, unplug and reboot techniques as recommended by other threads in this forum and fully uninstalled and reinstalled java.

The camera is useless without being able to see video - can anyone help?
Thanks.

The following procedure can be used to adjust the Java security exceptions in Windows after updating to the latest Java version.

Note: Selecting Java from the Windows Control Panel may not provide access to the Edit Site List option on some PCs. The above navigation path must be used to access these settings.

Doesn't work for me !!.

I have the following short HTML files (see below) in a folder for a number of 930L cams, and after the Java update all cams come up with error messages like this :

"Missing required Permissions manifest attribute in main jar: http://xdyndnsx.com:1234/aplug.jar"
 
 Here's my HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>room2cam3</title>
</head>
<body>
<APPLET name="cvcs" CODEBASE="http://xdyndnsx.com:1234/" archive="aplug.jar" code="aplug.class" width=640 height=480>
<param name="RemotePort" value=1234>
              <param name="Timeout" value=5000>
              <param name="RotateAngle" value=0>
              <param name="PreviewFrameRate" value=2>
              <param name="Algorithm" value="1">
              <param name="DeviceSerialNo" value="valueVALUEvalue">
              </applet>
</body>
</html>

Note: IPs, port numbers, and DeviceSerialNo altered.

What to do ??

...... Thanks

@ b9, did you get the aplug.jar problem fixed ?

In my case the Java Console reads :
Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for: http://  dyndns  :1234/aplug.jar

What message do you see in the Java Console ?

To Nullit : yes. Adding the http://192.168.1.68  (in my case) to the 'Add' list in the Java security tab enabled the live video and the motion detection setup window as well.

To JavaLawyer : thank you : just one thing : in step 7, after adding http://192.168.1.68 to the 'Add' selection I had to press return to get the confirmation window to pop up.

Thanks. . . I realized that a day after posting the original procedure, but think it's close enough for everyone to muddle their way through. No complaints so far ;)

Thanks for the feedback, b9.

Well, I guess my entire setup is shut down for good, then. I haven't had a chance to go local and try the http://192.168.1.nn. All my cams are off-site and I rely on dyndns.com for monitoring and sharing.

Incidentally, my older DCS-920 cams are down too but report a different error message.
The popup box says :
"Application Blocked by Security Settings"
"Name: cvcs"
"Location: http://xxx.dyndnsxxx.com:1234
"Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running"
- and the Java Console says :
"CacheEntry[http://xxx.dyndnsxxx.com:1234/xplug.class]: updateAvailable=false,lastModified=Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 EST 1969,length=16039"

In comparison, the Java Console for the 930L cams reports :
"CacheEntry[http://xxx.dyndnsxxx.com:4321/aplug.jar]: updateAvailable=false,lastModified=Fri Dec 31 19:00:03 EST 1999,length=25623"

Interestingly, by the way, an internet bank that I use and whose site also use Java does not crash after checking "Run" on the "Do you want to run this application?" box.

So, would appear the onus is on D-Link to update their Java applets and bring them into compliance with the new Java security features which, as the 920 applet is of 1969 vintage and the 930L is 1999 vintage, doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon. Oracle has warned us for about a year now.

Time to look at other IP cam solutions?

Cheers,

I still have the problem.  Running Windows 8 with Firefox.  Open Java console as administrator, go to Security tab, Add, and input the IP address but when I ENTER the field is still blank.

The list of exceptions are in a simple text file named "exception.sites", search for it!. You can edit it with Notepad, just make sure to re-save it with the exact same name, i.e. no ".txt" extension.
It is a per user file. So you need one in each user path.

Same error occurs at DCS 5020L. Running with win 8.1, IE and old Java before without complaints. Setting the exception list at Java does not resolve the issue. Is there any other solution?

Have you tried another browser (i.e. Firefox)?

Thank you, JavaLawyer.

I had to add "http://192.168.1.16:800" (I have my DCS-930L on port 800 at a fixed IP address) and click "Continue" in a popup box titled "Security Warning - HTTP Location" to get mine to work.  Wouldn't have gotten that far without your excellent suggestion.

Thanks it worked for me i have a 5020L but I had add to add both the camera IP address and also add /aplug.jar after my camera IP address in the JAVA exception list.

As follows:

http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/aplug.jar
