Hey golgo,

Yes I did enclose them in quotes.  There appeared to be no difference either way (unless there is a space of course).  I updated to your latest git version with a 'git pull' just a few minutes ago and tried again.

With no arguments it is happy but quits immediately without going into any sub-directories (there are 2, one real and one is an lmce symlink to my NAS share), and it is correct in that there are 0 actual media files in this directory.

Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ./autotagger
connection made!
Media Autotagger v1.1
"/home/public/data/videos"
This is default scan directory: /home/public/data/videos
"/home/public/data/videos"
0
()
Got File List for Directory, Going to Work
DB Closed!

If I add a trailing '/' to any directory location it is 'Not Found in DB', if I do not include the trailing '/' it is happy but doesn't process any files (see above).  This is the case for any directory name I provide it.

Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ./autotagger "/home/public/data/videos/"
connection made!
Media Autotagger v1.1
"/home/public/data/videos/"
User Path Entered: /home/public/data/videos/
/home/public/data/videos/ - Was Not Found in DB

If I point to any folder other than "/home/public/data/videos" it errors with the undefined symbol but has identified that there are 2 files in the test directory.

Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ./autotagger "/home/public/data/videos/test"
connection made!
Media Autotagger v1.1
"/home/public/data/videos/test"
User Path Entered: /home/public/data/videos/test
"/home/public/data/videos/test"

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


Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ./autotagger "/home/public/data/videos/Windows Share-Public [32]/TV/Castle S01Part1"
connection made!
Media Autotagger v1.1
"/home/public/data/videos/Windows Share-Public [32]/TV/Castle S01Part1"

"/home/public/data/videos/Windows Share-Public [32]/TV/Castle S01Part1"

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

Anyways, those are my results so far.  Let me know if you want me to try anything specific.

Hmm:

Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ldd autotagger
linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7797000)
        ...
I don't seem to have this lib.  Likely the symbol problem.  I'll have to try to locate it.

Mainboard wise I'm not aware of anything current that works ootb with 0810, many need NIC updates.  That being said others may be aware of a pnp mainboard.  I'd suggest you check out a few of the working configs people list on the wiki to get some ideas but be prepared to massage the install.

In /home/public/data/videos is the automatic LinuxMCE symlink to my Windows Share and a directory named 'test' that I've stuffed some movies and tv shows into.

If it gets to the windows share it'll find thousands of files to churn on but I don't think it followed the symlink to the windows share.

I get the exact same results with the updated version.

My best suggestion is to wait for LMCE 1004.  The upgrade is very involved and although ui2 displays it breaks keyboard and mouse input to Orbiter.  I don't have enough knowledge to figure out where/why.  With 0810 having been moved to end-of-life by ubuntu there may be more of an urgency to move LMCE towards 1004.

If I point it at a specific directory I get this:

Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ./autotagger /home/public/data/videos/test
connection made!
Media Autotagger v1.1
./autotagger: symbol lookup error: ./autotagger: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii

If I run it with no parameters I get the following output, autotagger immediately exits:

Code: [Select]

dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger# ./autotagger
connection made!
Media Autotagger v1.1
This is default scan directory: /home/public/data/videos
Got File List for Directory, Going to Work
DB Closed!
dcerouter_1013980:~/linuxmce-autotagger#

Any thoughts?

People have claimed success but I have not had a successful boot with UI2 on an intel graphics chip since 0810 alpha days.  1004 xorg & video drivers work well with UI2 on intel chips.

Users / WebDT 366LX PadOrbiter Image

« on: November 06, 2010, 02:43:40 am »

For those who own the WebDT 366LX Model and are unable to use the webpad-gamma installer you can try this image:

http://www.4shared.com/file/-19oWYgy/webdt366lx-install.html
http://www.filefactory.com/file/b420hcc/n/webdt366lx-install.tgz

This is the padorbiter installer that Thom created for the 366GX but modified with an LX sized image.  Extract the image file from the archive and use dd to put the image on a USB drive.  Put the USB drive into the WebDT 366LX and turn it on.  60 seconds later it will overwrite the WebDT's flash memory hard drive.

Orbiter is updated to svn 23395.

A squeezeslave player is installed and accessible by pointing to 00:00:00:xx:xx:xx where xx:xx:xx are the last three parts of the wireless card's MAC address.  Ex. if your WebDT's MAC address is: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff then the squeezeslave player is at: 00:00:00:dd:ee:ff

WEP and WPA both working.

Known Issues:

• After entering the network configuration the webpad isn't joining the selected network.  Solution: Power down by holding the power button > 5s and power back on to join the network you configured.
  
• There are some small lines visible along the top of the lcd screen in X windows.  No solution for this and they are hardly noticeable, I'm open for suggestions.

I will try to help and answer any questions that come up.

If you find this useful then please thank Thom for creating the padorbiter in the first place.

could this be a solution?
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/01/how-to-fix-video-tearing-in-videos-nvidia-ubuntu/

My experience, and others in many, many forums, is that these settings remove the majority of the tearing but do not completely fix the problem.  It fixes things enough that video becomes watchable and some claim to no longer see the tearing but it is still there and really annoying with a discerning eye.  This is covered in hundreds of forum topics on dozens and dozens of forums and everyone reports differing degrees of success.

Installation issues / Re: MPlayer and m2ts problems

« on: November 04, 2010, 05:26:18 pm »

I don't completely disagree with you Zaerc, but there are *some* cases where mplayer achieves things that (I havn't figured a way..) can not be achieved with xine.  I am specifically referring to playing of files encoded with AAC audio when connected via S/PDIF.  With mplayer I can easily on-the-fly re-encode to ac3 to get proper 5.1 sound.  With xine the files either down-mix to stereo or only play the R/L tracks and drop the remaining C/RL/RR/Sub.  This is only a problem with >2 channel AAC encoded audio when using S/PDIF.

« on: October 23, 2010, 06:38:40 am »

Excellent idea!  I'll try to test this against the linux based touch orbiter(s) as well.  The n800/810/900 could probably benefit from this.

Installation issues / Re: MPlayer and m2ts problems

« on: October 23, 2010, 12:31:45 am »

I belive there is a bug in mplayer_player (I think that's where it is) that doesn't send the 'Media finished' command to dce_router when the media finishes playing.

Users / Re: DivX problem

« on: October 23, 2010, 12:29:30 am »

If you set 'vdpau' in the webadmin then xine and mplayer will use vdpau acceleration if it exists.  Xine (in lmce) will automatically fall back to opengl playback for media that vdpau does not accelerate.  I think that mplayer is setup to do the same but I don't recall. 

If you search around on the internet there is generally no 'cure' for video playback tearing in linux.  There are many things that can be done to somewhat mitigate or reduce the symptoms but there are fundamental changes required to how the linux kernel and opengl and compositing managers interact and sync to vertical.  The problems are well documented around the net and it seems they can only be solved by changes made from the kernel down to x drivers and compositing managers...

Until then you can reduce the amount of tearing that you see on your screen by not using alpha blending (where v-sync issues are most noticeable) and by using the lowest level of 'de-interlacing' you can live with in your webadmin settings.  The de-interlacing setting can have a significant effect on the amount of tearing you see.

Some TVs also have 'tearing' as the source material and actual refresh rate of the pixels is not in lock step.  My plasma has an 85Hz refresh rate in it's hardware but it is fed with a 60Hz video signal.  I actually experience a very little bit of tearing on my tv with other types of media as well (BR, DVD, PS3 games can be bad) during fast motion scenes.
