I've been running into consistent problems with Sexscripts recently. I can't connect to the server, according to several scripts (subcontrol, enforced chastity, jennifer has fun, spankbid) all complain that they can't connect to the server. Mandy doesn't seem to have that problem.

I'm running the latest version of Sexscripts and I have Java 8 installed from Oracle. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as operating system. I have never had this issue before. Any ideas how to test what's going wrong?

Possibly an HTTPS problem.
Can you check what happens when clicking menu>help>about..., an when you try to download from menu>file>import ?

Certainly, when I open the about screen, it says this:



Importing a file seems to work as intended. I downloaded the latest version of Spankbid just now (which complains I'm not connected to the Internet).

Any ideas or anything else I can test? Please let me know.

There is a message in the errors.log file ?

Yes, there are some SSL related errors in there:

Strange, server supports :

And Java 8 should supports :

TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0x13) Forward Secrecy2 112
So there's at least a common protocol :
TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256

I'll perhaps try from an Ubuntu or a Debian in a few days.

That's certainly odd. I think that Java error is related to errors with a site's security certificate. However, the ssl configuration for ss.deviatenow.com checks out for Java 8.

Neither Chrome nor Firefox complain about the certificate and according to SSL Labs, only Java 6 should give errors due to lack of support for SNI.

It was not using the security libraries.

Try this inside sexscripts.sh :

That seems to be working, thanks! No more scripts saying they can't connect.

I'm having the same problem but with the courtroom script. Tried the solution you gave, still didn't work. please help.

Does this work ?

just got back from vacation.
when i go to menu>help>about. i get this:
SexScripts, 2011-2017
your Release: May 25, 2017, last release on http://ss/deviatenow.com: Apr 15, 2017
Translator : /
Last Script author : Liz, ptdw

I enter this in the menu>file>import: https://ss.deviatenow.com/download/file ... 0&scid=233

Ok, so its able to connect. Just after the error, can you get and post here the end of the file errors.log ?

Here it is:

Ok this is useful.

It is not related to the connection to a server, but to the webcam.
Technical informations above :
the fault is here (subcontrolv2.groovy:1236)

Null pointer exception : I thing here cap_b is null. Probably the webcam failed to take a picture, to save it, or something like this.

To be sure Liz see this, my advice is to post a message in the related thread : https://ss.deviatenow.com/viewtopic.php ... &start=375

Edit : but it's not related to the Courtroom script, so it may be not the good extract. Perhaps there was no errorrelated to Courtroom because the script caught it - then we need the message that shows and when (after doing what)
