MKV's with mediatomb

[CentralMedia]

I do not want to re-encode my mkv's at this time, as the WD live, supports mkv's. Unfortunately I do not see any MKV's via mediatomb.

I add the following to mediatomb config, reboot the machine,  to see if its helps, but not luck, I still only see avi's

<map from="mkv" to="video/x-matroska"/>

[CentralMedia]

Got the mkv to show without transcoding, it seems that mediatomb does not just add the new mime types, so I thought of an re-import, but no luck.

I then deleted all the files on the mediatomb site http://192.168.80.1:49153/, drop the database tables in pluto_mediatomb, recreated them using the /usr/share/mediatomb/mysql.sql and restarted the core; no luck with sudo /etc/init.d/mediatomb restart.

This then started the DB import, and I can see the mkv files now.

Also added the following <map from="mka" to="video/x-matroska"/>

Next step, see if I can get my galaxy tab to see and play the files, that should be easy now as the WD live tv, does it.

If there is a better way to do it, I am open to suggestions.

Quick question, anyone got linuxmce coverart display in mediatomb?

[tschak909]

Nope. If you figure it out, send us a patch!

Thanks

I have been looking on their forum and found this taglib and LNMCE version used is complied with it, though id3lib is not

I have yet to figure out how its works and from where (how to run it). But my plan hopefully is to get it or a similar tool reading the existing id3 tags that are in LMCE.

[tschak909]

The id3 tags are literally just raw id3 tags, without an mp3 stuffed on the back. id3lib can read the tags and parse the data just fine.

Really silly, but my c++ is none existant and I am trying to test reading the id3 tags.

Pieced this together of the internet but getting compile errors, advice welcomed. Just want to pass the id3 tag file and then display output, just checking to see how it works, yes will get a c++ for dummies

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <id3/tag.h>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  string mystr;

  cout << "Enter file ";
  getline (cin,mystr);
  ID3_Tag myTag(mystr);
  //use an std::auto_ptr here to handle object cleanup automatically
   ID3_Tag::Iterator* iter = myTag.CreateIterator();
   ID3_Frame* myFrame = NULL;
   while (NULL != (myFrame = iter->GetNext()))
   {
     cout << "Frame " << myFrame << "yea";
   }
   delete iter;
 
  return 0;
}

[tschak909]

What compile errors are you getting?

I also tried installing libtag1-dev and libmp4v2-dev, based on mediatomb forum.

I dropped the database again, reboot and am now seeing some information under the column metadata, have to check on my upnp device to see what changed.

Only checked the mkv files I had, if this work, have to figure out what going on with my dvd's

[tschak909]

You may want to install development dependencies. The best way to do this, is to check out the source tree somewhere, e.g. /home/src

Code Select Expand


mkdir -p /home/src
cd /home/src
svn co http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/trunk/src


and then

Code Select Expand


cd /home/src


You'll see our entire source tree in here, for all our core code.

What we're interested in is in our builder scripts:

Code Select Expand


cd Ubuntu_Helpers_NoHardCode/conf-files/lucid-i386


There is a list of development packages in here in the file build-packages, but we need to make one slight change, as there is one package that is in here that is normally not available on standard LinuxMCE system (it's related to some DVB stuff that VDR uses, which is not relevant for you, but if we don't get rid of it, apt will complain that the package does not exist.)

Use your favorite text editor to remove line 19, which looks like

Code Select Expand


dvb-s2api-liplianin-headers


save, exit, and then:

Code Select Expand


apt-get install `cat build-packages`


NOTE THE BACK TICKS, they are not apostrophes!

It should install all the relevant development stuff.

If apt complains, remove the offending package from the build-packages file, and try the above step again.

Once this is done, try compiling your code... you'll want to use -lid3tag probably in your compile statement, so that gcc will link the library you need.

I went ahead, would these below, class for troublesome packages and should be removed

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
