I've been wondering--is this project still alive? no news, no messages for quite a while now...

When I try to watch youtube or amazon prime video, I get no sound at all...Firefox suggests I need pulseaudio running.
Can you guys help me out with this?

I am trying to establish a vpn tunnel to my cell. I have tried following the wiki about this but so far I have been unsuccesful.
Do I need to add firewall rules on the core?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Both have suddenly stopped working. Today I had to reboot my server and since then I am unable to access the fileshares from my windowsbox. it always asks for my credentials. The samba logs say that it found a misconfigured server role and exits

While checking around I also saw that updatemedia is producing a segfault. there seems to be an error in libstdc++.6.0.19

Guys, is there something wrong with github? I tried to make a net-install, but I cannot download the install script- I get an error 500

Guys, just a question. lets say I have a number of movies in several different folders and now want to integrate them all in one. If I go by webadmin, I need to move each file individually...which takes time. I could also move them outside webadmin as files and then resynch the folders. Is there a way to move files in bulk with webadmin?

Ok, I am trying to setup my MD. Its an asrock ion 330.
When booting up it displays a long list of error messages

systemd-udevd[2607:failed to execute '/bin/systemctl' '/bin/systemctl start --no-block nvidia-persistenced.service': No such file or directory
systemd-udevd[2680]:failed to execute '/bin/systemctl' '/bin/systemctl stop--no-block nvidia-persistenced.service': No such file or directory

in avwizard I can select HDMI, 1080p, 60Hz..and get a garbled output. Selecting 720p I can complete the wizard, but only with ui1, static images, opengl is not working, sound is also not working

I am and I cannot browse any media on it. My tablet with kitkat is fine...but not for long. I wonder if its a problem unique to my setup or a general one.

I have just installed the latest updates ans lmce-core produces an error

Hello Guys, my Core crashed today and I rebooted it. So far so good, but now I have a weird phenomenon. All the files are there and they play, if I select them via Title. However if I want to list via Filename, the list is completely empty.
My core is running on 14.04. and is up to date.
Any idea where I should look?`

Cheers
Mario

I did the update, but it seems that since then my phones won't register anymore

I wanted to use the weather-plugin and got myself an api-key at openweather.
According to the thread in the developers-section (since there is no wiki-page for that yet)I found the following:

for NOAA  Configuration is   API:NOAA:language:units:lat:lon 
                            example API:NOAA:english:0:28.53833355:-81.37923649
for WWO  Configuration is   API:WWO:language:apikey:units:city 
                             example API:WWO:pt:0b6d39679dabe54e9749209aa2e54:C:belo_horizonte
for openweahter  Configuration is   API:OWM:language:apikey:units:city 
                                    example API:OWM:en:xxxxxxxxxxxx:imperial:belo_horizonte

So I adapted it to my needs like this:

API:OWM:de:b56b99e85c97772273b020b21e07ea91:imperial:chemnitz

This seems to be the correct usage to me. Please correct me, if I'm wrong

However upon reload router, it does not start and there is no data showing up. I went to look at the syslog and found this:

Weather[7140]: segfault at 0 ip b7546de6 sp b4afe0a0 error 4 in libstdc++.so.6.0.19[b749a000+dc000]

So, the question is, if I did something wrong, or if there is something broken.

I had been perusing youtube with videos by golgoj4 demonstrating some of his work.
I came across about the video with the autotagger. However it seems autotagger isn't running. When I try running it, a windows pops open, supposedly  tailing the log.
Instead I get this: Access denied to /var/log/pluto/linuxmcetag.log
I checked, there is no such log...and no files are being tagged either.

For about 2 weeks I cannot play internet radio anymore. I can select the radio station from any orbiter in the house, select the station to play...and nothing happens.
I have tried this on my MD and the core. The remote comes up for about 10 seconds, then drops me at the orbiter again. Sometimes neither the categories nor the stations show up. Once in a while after a reload router they are there, but I have had instances now, where even a reboot of the core didn't do anything to improve the situation.
On my tablet I have this app "mediahouse" there it finds the logitech server and for example my rpi2, which I primarily use for internet radio in the kitchen. From that point of view, everything seems to be in order..only nothing is playing.
Is anyone else having this?

I have trouble with VDR. When trying to watch TV on my Hybrid (running 14.04) it shows the splashscreen of VDR...and sits there until I start changing to channel 1. However there are a number of channels that I cannot use anymore for some reason.
I tried to solve this with posde in the chat, but so far nothing...it was all working until about 3/4 days ago..
changing values for epg-scan in the background or even disabling it altogether did not bring any change about.
If anyone of you guys has any insights, please share it with me :-)

Cheers
Mario

Hello guys, I am having a little trouble making sense of how qorbiter handles TV-Shows.
Lets say I have a number of different TV-Shows with multiple seasons. The I put them in the filesystem is by having a folder that names the Show and then subfolders with the respective seasons (i.e. Season1, Season2...)
All in all no problem. I have also tagged those shows with there Episodes properly. With the onscreen orbiter I would go to sort them after filenames and navigate to the show>season>episode and select the episode I'd like to watch.
With qorbiter I go to video>TVshows and then I am presented with a number of buttons pertaining to the shows, however each season bears the name of the show and nothing else. So I have to guess, which one is the season I want to watch, trusting the sort order is ascending.
I have tried changing the view with the help of attribute, but I think I'm missing something.
What is your experience so far?

I made a fresh install today -actually two, but thats a different story.
I could tune and create a channels.conf. So far so good, however VDR is not starting.
I found this in /var/log/syslog:

in additon to this, I also found out that /etc/vdr/plugins/xineliboutput/config is a broken link the config in /var/lib/vdr/plugins/xineliboutput is missing

I found out, when I start my MD, I need to do a reload router after its booted up, otherwise the whole system slows down to a crawl. Videoplayback on either core or MD experiences frame drops, or jumps. UI becomes totally unresponsive.
Have you guys seen that too?

Aside from the onscreen orbiter of my me crashing after watching a movie, I have the problem, that I can not shutdown the md. When selecting power off, it says shutting down, but won't do so. Trying to force issue by holding the power button of the me until it switched off (I know, not good, not nice) resulted in a hangup off the core.
Ssh into the md and do shutdown - h now works though.

Usually I write what is not working, now for somthing good, that is working, mostly out of the box, here is my list:
HDMI-sound on the core
VDR
internal drives found
NAS-Box found, including correct access rights, which has recently been an issue for me on 12.04, dunno whats changed
MD creation (Asrock ion 330)
Squeezebox, Player running on RPI2 as Internet-radio
Mediatomb- need ot figure out how to get it started automatically again
Asterisk, all phones registered out of the box, no need to restart manually( which has also been an issue for me on 12.04)
qorbiter on my mobile phones

I don't claim this to be complete, but I will keep working on it.
