I think I need some help in understanding and perhaps configuring.
I remember, that once utilized mediatomb for streaming to no-one devices,like windows media player and such.
I so far, using 12.04, i have eben unsuccessful in using mediating, since I cannot even find it in my network anymore. However I recently got an rpi2 and use it as a squeezeslave for internet radio.
So I was wondering if the logitech media server and mediatomb were exclusive to each other. If so, how can I configure the logitech software to also stream video?
-
Hey, mediatomb is still accessible. You have to enable it on your Core. Choose Wizard -> then Core in webadmin and you'll see a list of additional software items to install. We are no longer installing it by default as we do not have autoconfiguration for it in place. Feel free to contribute to that! Going forward the idea is to create a DCE aware UPnP server/player system.

and no, Logitech Media Server and Mediatomb are not mutually exclusive.
-
Ah! Yes! Thanks posde, I forgot that bit.
-
Thanks guys....as always a pleasure.
-
Hmm...I found it under wizard,devices, core...and ticked the checkbox....but so far I cannot find it on the system. Just out of curiosity, I tried apt-get install mediatomb and it wanted to install..I aborted that one..so I guess just doing the checkbox isn't really enough?
-
Did you do a quick reload?
-
Pressing the update button, after checking the box, will install the device in the device tree and trigger ConfirmDependencies which should install the package.

i did a reload router...checked the device tree and mediatomb is there, with Status "**RUN_CONFIG**"
I tried service mediatomb status, it said its stopped/waiting
trying service mediatom start, it starts a process, but stops immediately.
Anything else I need to do?
-
Check the log files mediatomb generates.
-
I got several errors:
The connection to the MySQL database has failed: mysql_error (1049):"unknown database 'pluto_mediatomb' "
error in configuration, transcoding profile "vdrplay" could not find transcoding command vdrplay.sh in $PATH
-
Please file tickets for individual issues in trac and attach any logs you can. Include any solutions you may find as well.

maverick,
unfortunately, a lot of stuff that used to work for Mediatomb has been rendered useless, as some people have decided to remove stuff, because mediatomb isn't perfect... As Phenigma pointed out, please file tickets for each of the issues and we shall reinstate the old files.

Hello,
i found out doing this:
in /etc/init/mediatomb.conf
change this line
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=l0)
to
start on (started mysql and local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=l0)
like suggested here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1971040
helped me in getting to start mediatomb again.
don`t know if this helps, cause i just had the "cannot connect to mysql" error...
-
Our install wizard installs a package titled lmce-mediatomb, which has the config items for us. It also installs mediatomb.
Check to be sure that lmce-mediatomb is installed, it contains the vdrplay.sh script and creates the pluto_mediatomb database that was listed missing.

I just checked the mediatomb again in webadmin. Then I logged in, see for yourself:
dcerouter_1043186:/home/linuxmce# service mediatomb start
mediatomb start/running, process 31092
dcerouter_1043186:/home/linuxmce# service mediatomb status
mediatomb stop/waiting
dcerouter_1043186:/home/linuxmce# apt-get install lmce-mediatomb

indeed this is working :-)
Thanks G.I.R.

I just checked the mediatomb again in webadmin. Then I logged in, see for yourself:
hmm, yup, and the failure at the bottom there prevents the package from properly installing. The webadmin/install is probably working but it'll never complete with the error.
I've created a ticket with the information you provided, thank you! http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac/ticket/2472

please always tell the version you are trying to install.

:( I'll have a look again, it all works great here.

Ok, I have undone a boo boo I made in the last change. If this doesn't work you guys'll have to start docking my pay ;)
