1004: The time has come.

[OldBob]

My recollection with earlier versions was that the "Software" section of the installer presented a screen populated with libdvdcss and W32, W64 options.   These sections are now blank.  Is this intentional or has my installation failed?

Likewise, the remote (control) "learning" screen is blank, my recollection was that it was populated with "up", "down", etc and that you could send the codes and it would save the file without having to go into the web admin.  This section also presents a blank two sections screen.

If it's not behaving as intended please let me know and I will submit a ticket with the hardware details.   My location is Australia.

Regards,

Bob

Intentional. We no longer provide extra software the way it used to be provided.

Thanks, understood.

If the learning part used to work and now doesn't, please submit a ticket with hw details. http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/newticket

As much detail as you can muster... perhaps watch /var/log/pluto/DCERouter.log

Dear all,

While I was hapily streaming radio stations for a while, in the last few snapshots wma playback seems broken.
Unfortunately, it is not confined to radio playback; any file encoded in windows codecs refuses to play.

This is the playback of a typical wma file:

Code:

Even though playback stops for the specific filename, it appearts as if streaming continues normally.

Before I dump my problem onto you, I tried researching it a little bit.

1. w32codecs is installed (along with libdvdcss2, but thats not important here..)
2. ffmpeg results in error (WARNING: library configuration mismatch), but pluto-ffmpeg works ok (so I installed that with a symlink so it loads it by default, along with ffplay, ffserver,ffprobe)

Cant seem to pinpoint the problem though... Any clues?
Thanks for your help,
ted

Yeah... I broke the heck out of audio.

Try upgrading to the current set of things.

[tsoukas]

No problem, all of us are in it for the trip and not the destination.
How do I upgrade ? Through apt-get update/upgrade or is there any other way?

Thanks,
ted

[l3mce]

That is the best way for this one.

[huh]

Don't know if this belongs here or not, but my AMD motherboard (ECS IC780M-A) (no onboard video, but it has onboard audio) paired with a nVidia video card (EVGA 512-P3-1213-LR GeForce 210) did not have audio while l3mce was working on the video/audio.  It had previously been working... after a GlobalUpgrades today I reran through the AVWizard, was presented with both audio cards.  Selected the right card and now have working HDMI audio with DTS and Dolby Digital- the later two had never been used.

TLDR: video/audio work great- thank you.

I dont know if this belongs here,

But after connecting my Synology NAS in my LinuxMCE network, it got detected. I have set the share's up as Public content, and use LMCE direcory structure. I moved my videos and audio into the LMCE dir structure. All things looked good. But video's do not get indexed. I can search for video's and they will play at my core, but not at any MD.

 For Audio, it doesn't work at all....

I've checked the directories, and there are only softlinks made in the /home/public/data/videos dir. Not in any other public directory

Also softlinks for videos are made on the MD's, but the NFS share doesn't get mounted.

Can anybody help me to shed some light onto this issue?

I would suggest after adding a storage device, to reboot.

Please start a thread if this is something you would like to discuss or need help fixing.

[Dap-P]

Thanks guys,
I already fixed the issue of non index media. It had to do that my media was already indexed on another location.

If there is something i can do to help resolve the issue with the softlinks, let me know.

Anton
