Unsupported helper for Linux

[hardii]

Hi,

Is there an open source helper?

I want a daemon application that can just sit there and go up & down with my HTPC box.
No GUI, no Qt.

If someone can give me the specification I will write it.


thanks,

This. I'll lend my services as well.

Hi,
I've tried out the 0.1.3 version from
http://download.hobbyistsoftware.com/Do ... 1.3.tar.gz
with the free VLC Streamer for iPad app. It seems to be coming together very well, but there are two issues:
- The file browser seems to have problems with folders with many subfiles and subfolders, so it won't show the contents of my home folder or those of the / folder. In addition, symbolic links don't seem to be supported.
- Playback of files works fine while they are being encoded. However, when trying to play them after the conversion is complete, I get to the initializing and buffering steps, but the playback doesn't start. The app returns to the file selection instead.
Thanks for your help!

I reported about the issue you mentioned as well. I mean that you can't playback after enco
ding completed.

Hi susja,

sorry - must have missed that. However: Sometimes, it's good to double-post to show that at least two people have the same problem. What I missed to report is my sys: Ubuntu 11.10 64bit.

Cheers

Hi all.
I just installed the VLCstreamer program and tried to start it after having installed all of the required packages as documented in the README, hower it always returned with "File or directory not found". If I run ldd it give me: "..is not dynamically linked". This looks quite strange as it should at least look for Qt librarys as fas as I understand.

After installing:

Code: Select all

yes | sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

the program does start seems to be unhappy with some libray:

Code: Select all

"2012-05-20 21:46:42:028:INFO : VLCStreamer Client Started"
"2012-05-20 21:46:42:029:INFO :   Version 0.1.3_beta"

./VLCStreamerClient: symbol lookup error: ./VLCStreamerClient: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii


What is wron with it? I believe, I have installed all required QT libs as advised in the README and in this forum

Hi Jens.

I have tried this on the new Fedora 17 (since that gives me access to VLC 2.x through RpmFusion).

VlcStreamer runs and appears to perform an encode correctly (the output is playable in Vlc, there is an empty "complete.txt" file in the output directory, and the log has this text "ENCODER finished withc code 0"), but no actual data appears to be streamed to my iPhone.

When I click on either Watch or Copy on my iPhone, the VlcStreamer log becomes filled with lines like:
2012-05-31 20:53:25:001:INFO : HTTP request /secure?command=movies
2012-05-31 20:53:25:491:INFO : HTTP request /secure?command=movies
2012-05-31 20:53:26:002:INFO : HTTP request /secure?command=movies
2012-05-31 20:53:26:500:INFO : HTTP request /secure?command=movies
etc

But nothing ever gets played.

What does the line " MOVIE playlist patched at 2605" mean? -> Never mind, figured this bit out

When I go back to the "Movie" list in the VlcStreamer client it still doesn't list any of the videos that have been transcoded....?

I'll add my voice to the people asking if you are planning on open-sourcing this, because then I could have figured this all out myself without bothering you

One more to the open source vote. I'd be happy to contribute as well. The VLCStreamer client for windows works great, but I'd really like to get this running on my Debian media server. For some reason it won't find libQt.

Hi folks,

I have started a thread to get your input on opening out the source for the helper a bit.

please let me know what you think.

Hi,
I have a problem, when I used the last command ( sudo apt-get install w64codecs non-free-codecs ), it said:

E: unable to locate package w64codecs
E: unable to locate package non-free-codecs

So that didn't work.
And when I tried to run the VLCStreamerClient, it said:

./VLCStreamerClient: 1: ./VLCStreamerClient: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

I'm using a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian (Debian) and Playing AVI Files with VLC Player works.

Does someone have a solution for this?
Thank you in advance!
