Users / Re: DivX movies dont play AC3 Passthru

« on: February 26, 2008, 10:14:30 pm »

It gives me info on the codec versions ... could you tell me what exactly do you need or how can I copy and paste the content of the terminal (I opened it with ctl+alt+F2 ... )

Thnx
Itsik

Yes, I am interested in the codecs versions - codec, sampling rate, etc. so just copy output here. There is possibility that properties of AC3 stream in DVDs and in DivXs are different and you are getting the problems because of this.

I'm a total noob to linux so please bare with me ...

it gives me "unrecognized option '-i/home/public/data/other/internal' "

np. first, you should put space between "-i" and file name. second - if your path to video contains spaces, enclose the full name into quotes like "/tmp/my file has spaces in it"

2. Ac3/DTS passthru works great on DVD's but for some reason it does'nt work on AVI's (works prefectly under vista ...)

Can you please react in this thread?

anyone 

Can you please do the following on any of your DivXs that doesn't work with SPDIF? Run the command:

#/opt/pluto-ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg -i /path/to/my.divx

and post here the output.

Regardng asound.state file: iirc, you can create it by calling "alsactl store", but the location will be different for different distributions (/var/lib/alsa/asound.state in Kubuntu 7.10)

This feature is implemented in revision 19795 and will be available in the next beta (??). Note that updated setting will be used after Quick Reload of LMCE (i.e. setting is not applied immediately).

Currently there is no way to disable it: Disk_Drive sends "Media Inserted" event to Media Plugin which then autostarts media in the specified area. But I have created Mantis issue with the feature request for this: http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=3987

Do you have a small sample so I can take a look into? I would suggest you to use Konsole and KDE Desktop to track the log of xine player in this case, can you do this? Basically you need to go to KDE desktop, stop linuxmce, then:

1) edit file /home/linuxmce/.xine/config
and find there parameter "audio.output.speaker_arrangement" and set it to "Pass Through"

2) run your sample in console with
$ xine --verbose=255 /path/to/sample

Then check if it uses the PassThrough now and provide log here for start.

Developers / Re: LMCE common abbreviations used in the source code - can anyone define these?

« on: February 25, 2008, 12:51:43 pm »

I guess m_dwPK_ is
m - member variable
dw - double word (??) i.e. 32bit int
PK - primary key

Developers / Re: Why my device driver cannot register with DCERouter (works if run from cmd.l

« on: February 22, 2008, 11:01:15 am »

I'd like to ask a small trick for Linux guys: how to search through all logs for particular string (in my case that would be name of device, or date when something happened) ?

To search for certain string in file:

$ grep string filename

in all pluto logs

$ grep string /var/log/pluto/*

case insensitive search: add "-i" switch after the grep:

$ grep -i string file

Yes, it seems the socket is dropped but I don't see any reason for it. Can you re-run the DCEGen in the new folder to generate the initial binary for your device template, then build it and see if the same happens with it (i.e. socket is dropped)? This would narrow the list of possible reasons (maybe it is something with your code).

Also, for those timestamps: do you see any related errors/messages in the "Cybrotech Automation" log itself?

I also think that it is a good idea to do DCEGen-eration of the dummy binary and see if it works (properly registers). Try also tailing the full DCERouter.log to see if there are any error messages related to your device.

my case is even funnier. My script gets started and reports everything ok (it also receives OKs from DCERouter when registering), but it says in Launch manager that timeout has gone by for device registering process, so it probably shuts down tcp connections after 15 mins. My device continues to work, but it works only on one way - sending events to DCErouter, but not receiving any...

The timeout of waiting for media device registration is 10 seconds - does your device take more time to startup and register with the DCERouter? Additionally: if you will start device manually from the command line - does the webUI contain line "Registered: Yes" in the properties of this device, when it is fully started up (this line reflects the status of device registration with the router).

Users / Re: DVD Ripping Failed

« on: February 18, 2008, 01:08:53 pm »

So when I tried to rip my first DVD movie on LinuxMCE it started just fine, it went from 1% to 100% after that it came back with a message on the screen that said

Code: [Select]

Ripping failed: /home/user_1/data/videos/Meet the Fockers
I have all the dvd libs and codecs. Movies play just fine on LinuxMCE so far the problem is only ripping them. The drive is a Lite-On DVD RW 20x SATA.

Try to check if the DVD region is set properly on your drive, according to this wiki article: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Setting_Region_of_DVD_Drive
