problems on switching from xine player to videolan 1 to many
« on: October 11, 2005, 07:42:22 am »
Hi,

I have now 3 MDs in my system (one in Core), so I can test single stream to multiple MDs feature....

While I take single stream from one MD to another it works. When I select 2 MDs and click on stream then both are silent and I get different types of errors in logs...

1. when playing playlist of flac files (ripped by pluto), I get this (vlc-c and vlc-s are spawned with those messages:
Code: [Select]

vlc-c :

VLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus
libhal.c 767 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceDoesNotExist raised
"Service "org.freedesktop.Hal" does not exist"

[00000244] main playlist: adding playlist item `udp:' ( udp: )


vlc-s :

VLC media player 0.8.2-svn Janus
libhal.c 767 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceDoesNotExist raised
"Service "org.freedesktop.Hal" does not exist"

[00000244] main playlist: adding playlist item `/home/public/data/music/Various/Lepa leta slovenske popevke//Med iskrenimi ljudmi.flac' ( /home/public/data/music/Various/Lepa leta slovenske popevke//Med iskrenimi ljudmi.flac )

[00000260] main private error: cannot add this stream
[00000266] main packetizer error: cannot create packetizer output
[00000244] main playlist: nothing to play


2. when playing single wav or mp3 file on one MD and selecting 2 to receive stream I get this :

on playing MD xine player:
Code: [Select]

that seems right - xine player closes.

And then on same MD in videolan client log:
Code: [Select]
10 10/11/05 8:32:07.988 Could not find a handler for message - from 6613 to 6697 Type: 1 ID: 192 (device: 6697) Command_Impl1 Dev #6697


and other MD in video lan client log :
Code: [Select]
10 10/11/05 8:32:07.956 Could not find a handler for message - from 6613 to 6754 Type: 1 ID: 192 (device: 6754) Command_Impl1 Dev #6754


BTW, 6613 is Media Plugin.

I have also few other woes:

- if I want to have stream on multiple MDs, I guess playlists among them should be exactly the same (I'm not sure, but I think I saw that it was added to local list if other MD was playing something else...)

- if multiple MDs are listening to single stream - which one or all can control that stream (next song, etc...)

I'm also curious what are your experience with this feature and if it works for you ?

Regards,

Rob.

I know this message is old but I have just installd my second Media Director and am also having trouble with this feature.  Does anyone have it working?

The first problem I was having was that VLC needed some libraris that was not available.  I copied libdbus-1.so.0 & libdbus-glib-1.so.0 from an old backup to solve that.  However I still get no sound when switching to multiple.  I actually dont get any sound if I run vlc by hand either


Now I get the following on the DCErouter

problems on switching from xine player to videolan 1 to many
« Reply #2 on: December 31, 2006, 02:07:30 pm »
Hi,

not sure if have proper info (only Pluto guys could respond more precisely), but AFAIK, vlc feature one to many is dead end. Currently efforts for Xine to replace VLC are taking place (so one could stream from one Xine player to more other Xine players).

About VLC - in my system I could get only working that you take stream from one player to other player so the first one shuts down. One to many didn't work for me, although it seems pretty close to that.

HTH,

regards,

Rob.

i confirm vlc implementation is to a halt because there was so many issues involved and not controllable. we're trying to make xine to work as vlc, but we don't have an eta on it.

Shame, I'll watch this space
