| Post subject: | mythstreamtv connection failed |
I have followed the instructions of the mysthstreamTV README and configured VLC and FFMpeg exactly as required, I then did a MAKE and MAKE INSTALL for each. I then ran the mythstreamTV install.sh script and filled in the information requested. The script reported that it had succeeded. So now I have the "stream recordings" option on my mythweb which allows configuration of the stream parameters, then pressing "Start Live Stream" displays a page with an empty box, play stop buttons etc and a links for Launch Stream mms or http. When I select the http link it brings up a connection failed page, when I try mms the player is lauched but never connects. I have tried on LAN but still the same so not a firewall issue. Nothing appears in the mythstream log file which remains empty. I have gone through the whole proccess 3 times but always exactly the same result, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions I could try to narrow down the problem? |

well, sounds like vlc is not starting. Here is what I suggest. After you press the 'Start Streaming' button, the next screen displays the command that is executed. I would run this command from an xterm and look for errors. I would expect one of two outcomes: 1) Error is displayed and vlc stops - debug the error (permission?) 2) If no errors are displayed and vlc contunues to run, then hit the mms: link and watch for errors. by the way, the text box in mythweb is simply the contents of the log.txt file in the directory you installed the mythstreamtv scripts into. |

Type 'top' at the command line to see if its running properly in the background. It takes about 30% of the Athlon XP 2600+ on my R5A16 box. |

I have am now getting information into the log as below :- Quote: VLC already alive, I'm going to whack it. THE PROCESS I MEAN! Starting Stream of /myth/tv/1040_20050819122800_20050819130000.nuv VLC media player 0.8.2 Janus [00000239] main interface: creating httpd [00000239] main interface error: option test2 does not exist [00000239] main interface error: option test2 does not exist [00000239] main interface error: option test2 does not exist nscode{vcodec=$VCODEC,acodec=$ACODEC,vb=$VB,ab=$AB,scale=$SIZE}:std{access=http{user=$HTTP_USER,pwd=$HTTP_PWD,mime=video/x-ms-asf},mux=asf,url=:8082}" How ever still no streaming file, I tried "TOP" and when I request streaming VLC does run and appears at the top of the list. I have noticed that I am using VLC 0.8.2 instead of 0.8.1 would that make a differance? [/quote] |
