Bad Pid #2

Closed mattyb closed 10 years ago

mattyb commented 10 years ago

On a fresh install, I was able to set up channel icons and see them on the roku. When the roku attempts to access them, the ply log says

192.168.1.3:33116 - - [23/Apr/2014 19:42:16] "HTTP/1.1 GET /channels/5.1/status" - 200 OK
Bad Pid file for 5.1

I think this is the same as issue #1. I just pushed an update for that, let me know if that fixes the problem for you.

I had tried creating that directory manually. I may have a strange version of ffmpeg, though I think it's just whatever was distributed with Ubuntu 12.04. When I copied the commands, I got this error:

$ ffmpeg -i http://192.168.1.106:5004/auto/v5.1?transcode=internet720 -vcodec copy ./static/streams/5.1.m3u8

I switched ffmpeg to avconv in stream.py and it seems to work.

That makes sense. 0.8 is a pretty old version of ffmpeg. If you are up for it you can try building the latest ffmpeg: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide

it sounds like ubuntu is dropping support for ffmpeg? Maybe it would be better to check if avconv exists on a machine and use it instead of ffmpeg if it does.

I'm working on a change that will use ffmpeg as a default but use avconv if it is not found. There will also be a command line option to specify avconv over ffmpeg if you want. I'll probably get it pushed in the next day or so.
