PS3mediaserver on Debian

[Topguy]

I used this recipe: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/mythtvnz/367722?page=last

And it worked quite well. So i have a binary but not sure if its working because I dont have a dual-core to test it on.

You can find them at http://drop.io/topguyz if anyone have the time and equipment to test them.

Its built on Debian Lenny so it will probably not work on anything else than fairly new Debian based distros.

New problem

I installed the new 1.04 version. Now nothing is working. I`m just getting corrupt file.

Any help would be very helpfull. Attaching the packed debug file

OK, no need to answer. I figured it out, or at least got it to work

I`m gessing this is another resault of my newbie skills

hi!

Code: Select all

[mencoder] 00:00:36.697 Fatal error in process starting: : Cannot run program "mencoder": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

Could be... but the problem should be simple to fix. Install "mencoder" or make sure that mencoder is in the path when starting PMS.
"which mencoder" will tell you if the command is available.

I have got the mediaserver 1.10.5 working, but I`m having some difficulties with some .mkv files. They work with 1.04 version so I`m gessing it has something to do with the builds i`m using?

Here is the debug file:

debug.rar

(16.3 KiB) Downloaded 36 times

Any idea why this .mkv won`t start?

mencoder seems stuck

get the command from the line 1839 of your log and start it, just to see if this is working at least

[lavvan]

This is what i get when running the command:

Code: Select all

server01:/storage/disk1/PMS#  mencoder -ss 0 -quiet /storage/disk1/Film/Bangkok Dangerous HD/bkd-septic.mkv -quiet -quiet -oac lavc -of mpeg -lavfopts

Error parsing option on the command line: -lavfopts

Exiting... (error parsing command line)
server01:/storage/disk1/PMS#


If i remove the -lavfopts, i get:

Code: Select all
