Anything in the debug.log?

oh didn't think their would be cause it didn't open at all but alas their is.

Judging by the logfile, I think your problem might be solved by this fix.

Good afternoon.

I'm a new user of your SharkHunter build to replace a fairly old version of just "PS3 Media Server".

Anyway, I fully uninstalled the previous version, and ran my ccleaner to purge all registry history and what not. Rebooted my system and did a full install of the new one. It prompted me to instal Java 7.0, which I did.

Now when I load the server, it gives me an error saying the following:

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.


Now I don't have a lot of time at the moment to get more involved with this issue, but I was wondering if you had any advice on what I may do to correct it, or if you need more information. If you do need more information, what do you need so that I could provide it for you.

Thank you.

hi guys, been trying to figure this out myself for a couple days now and I cannot wrap my mind around it...

I have downloaded SharkHunter Build v35 and I want to add channel support but whatever I seem to do I get nothing. However, streaming directly from my computer is not a problem. I have went to the installation section on the wiki page and followed these instructions :

One Click Install
If you want the absolute simplest install possible of Channels etc. consider installing the SharkHunter Build. This is a custom PMS build bundled with all the program,plugins and scripts described here.


For some reason however nothing works, I am able to see the channels on the PS3, although many times the files in which are suppose to hold video files are almost always empty and the ones that are there constantly give me a data corrupt error. I am trying to get myp2p to work and watch sports but there is never any video files to load.

Thanks in advance for the help it is much appreciated

Great Work!!

Hi,

I've the same problem! All channels the same message "data corrupt".

Do we have to make any settings before use? I just installed the last build "shb35" and downloaded the .ch-datas!

SHB35 seems to have some issues. I blame maven! I'll try and make a new one. For now stick with SHB34 and maybe update Channels...

Doing everything from scratch (PS3 + PMSEncoder + Channels + Perl + Python + get_flash_video.pl + youtube-dl.py + curl + ....) I think I have pinpointed and worked out most of the issues .. Most of them have to do with incorrect paths and cmd.exe escaping paths that include spaces. Maybe it would be a good idea to "force" paths without spaces and specific locations for all the prerequisites. For example, rtmp groovy script points to c:\rtmpdump.exe ignoring PMS.conf or the actual location of the rtmpdump instaled by PMS-SHB), python.path is incorrectly setup or not setup at all, etc ..

But .. After solving all those issues, there seems to be one more with channels plugin and/or PMS-SHB.

It has to do with rtmp streams. For example, Navix -> NaviX Networks -> TheStreamDB -> ... -> English / News

http://navix.turner3d.net/playlist/5024 ... l_home.plx -> http://navi-x.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ... /index.txt -> ... -> http://navix.turner3d.net/cgi-bin/json2 ... ut2%3DNews

The Entries there are in the form of

type=video
name=+ UK / BBC World News
thumb=http://thestreamdb.googlecode.com/svn/logos/8gbjlj.png
URL=rtmp://media2.lsops.net/live/ playpath=bbcworld1_en_high.sdp swfUrl="http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf" swfVfy=true live=true timeout=60

After manually testing may streams on command line

a) without using channels plugin scripts (rtmp.groovy and rtmpdump.groovy) the commands constructed are obviously wrong
b) using channels plugin scripts (after correcting the reference to rtmpdump) the constructed rtmp commands are wrong

For example,

[cmd.exe] DEBUG 13:56:34.803 Starting cmd.exe /C D:\pms\rtmpdump\rtmpdump.exe -o - -r "rtmp://media2.lsops.net/live/ playpath=bbcnews_en_high.sdp swfUrl="http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf" swfVfy=true live=true timeout=60" | win32\ffmpeg.exe -v 0 -y -threads 4 -i - -threads 4 -target ntsc-dvd \\.\pipe\pmsencoder_transcoder_out_1329306994561_218

The full line containing an already decoded rtmp URL is passed as URL at rtmpdump. On the command line, when run correctly with rtmpdump.exe -o - -r rtmp://media2.lsops.net/live/ --playpath=bbcnews_en_high.sdp --swfUrl=http://www.livestation.com/flash/player/5.4/player.swf swfVfy=true it works fine

It seems to me that neither "plain" PMSEncoder built in scripts nor channels groovy scripts are able to handle input like above.

All channels (manually checking the existence of the stream beforehand) that I tried to watch and relied on rtmp failed to stream due to the same issue. rtmpdump was run with malformed command. Maybe there are some rtmp streams that do really work but there are so many channels I could not debug all. NaviX StreamDB and some users live tv channels relying to rtmp that I tried did not work.

Am I missing something obvious and the scripts do not work in their intended way due to some miss-configuration ? Can other users watch live rtmp streams using channels ?
Is there something more I could do to debug further ?
The default scripts handle only URL encoded, one liner input and then "deconstruct" the appropriate fields to contruct rtmpdump arguments ?

Thanks in advance.
Sorry if that should be posted to Channels Plugin thread, thought it fits here also since it affects PMS-SHB and continuing a previous post.

Another example ..

http://navix.turner3d.net/playlist/6321 ... ive_tv.plx

Entries have the format of

URL=rtmp://host/path/ playpath=something.stream swfUrl="http://host/path/player.swf" pageUrl=http://host/path/

Entries of debug log reveal that that input format is not handled executing rtmpdump -r rtmp://host/path/ --playpath=something.stream --swfUrl="http://host/path/player.swf" --pageUrl=http://host/path/

but instead are run using the full line as rtmpdump's -r argument, eg rtmpdump -r "rtmp://host/path/ playpath=something.stream swfUrl="http://host/path/player.swf" pageUrl=http://host/path/"

Is the above the expected behavior ? Channels rtmp section expects for some other kind of input ?
