Transcode via LAN

[vishnuprasad9633]

Hi,

I have successfully compiled codem-transcode and it works fine in my PC. I have changed the local host to my local IP in the cofig.json file. And started the server. It works fine and i could successfully assign job to the server from my PC. When i try to assign a job to my server from another PC of my LAN i couldn't acces the server.

it shows the error : curl: (7) coudn't connect to host

Im providing my config file data below,

{ "port": 8081, "access_log": "/var/log/access_log", "database": "/var/db/jobs.db", "slots": 8, "interface": "10.10.12.102", "encoder": "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg", "scratch_dir": "/tmp", "use_scratch_dir": true, "ffprobe": null }

It would be appreciated if anyone could help me on this.

you can try to change the interface to "interface": "0.0.0.0",

Hi hatsch,

Thanks for the reply.

if i change it to 0.0.0.0 what would be the host url that i have to use while assigning job from other PC's of my LAN??

[hatsch]

the host url would be still 10.10.12.102:8081,

can you ping the one host from the other?

the 0.0.0.0 just means that it listens on all interfaces

[vishnuprasad9633]

I have changed the interface to 0.0.0.0 and the server reply is [root@Cinesoft Cinesoft]# codem-transcode -c /home/Cinesoft/config.json 15 May 13:23:21 - Started server on interface 0.0.0.0 port 8081 with pid 5156.

i can acces the server in my PC. by the IP 10.10.12.102

it gives the output

{"max_slots":8,"free_slots":8,"jobs":[]}

But i couldnt access it from another PC.

I can ping the IP 10.10.12.102 fro other LAN PC also.

please help me on this

[hatsch]

do you have any firewall running that is blocking port 8081

[vishnuprasad9633]

I have tried it with 8080,1935,8088 etc . it doesn't work. These ports are available in LAN while we using them for other servers. Im using Cent OS 6.5

Is there any problem with cent OS?

[hatsch]

can you post the output of iptables -L ( as root or with sudo )

[vishnuprasad9633]

here it is,

[root@Cinesoft ~]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:http REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination

[hatsch]

allow incoming connections on port 8081 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8081 -j ACCEPT

or disable the firewall completly service iptables stop

[vishnuprasad9633]

It works fine brother. Thanks alot for your support

[hatsch]

no prob. so you can close the issue

Hi hatsch,

Is that possible to encode a file from our NAS storage using codem-transcode?

[hatsch]

you need to mount the directory in the same path on all involved machines (scheduler, transcoder,..) nfs will be your friend

[vishnuprasad9633]

Can you give me an example job URL?

[hatsch]

not really as i am using only the scheduler and not the transcoder directly but it's explained on the github page https://github.com/madebyhiro/codem-transcode

{ "source_file": "/PATH/TO/INPUT/FILE.wmv", "destination_file":"/PATH/TO/OUTPUT/FILE.mp4", "encoder_options": "-acodec libfaac -ab 96k -ar 44100 -vcodec libx264 -vb 416k -s 320x180 -y -threads 0", "thumbnail_options": { "percentages": [0.25, 0.5, 0.75], "size": "160x90", "format": "png" }, "callback_urls": ["http://example.com/notifications"] }

from now on you are on your own :)

[vishnuprasad9633]

Okay. Thanks

Thanks for sorting this out, I was on holiday so couldn't answer. If you want to share files between transcoders you indeed have to have a central network location where you can put them, using SMB, or NFS, or SAN, or any file sharing protocol.
