first of all: great app. simple, elegant - does what it's expected to do.

however, noticing it needs java to run, how come there is no linux port? is it planned for future versions?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/193.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/193.page GMT
java is used only for part of the application. Still, Linux port is technically possible but due to very small user base it's not really feasible.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/197.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/197.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/303.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/303.page GMT
For myself, I run a Macs and Linux at home but the Macs are notebook's and one ancient iMac. No Windows. My Linux server is always on and is the main media storage device in the house. I currently have to run a windows VM with mapped drives back to the server. It is rather wasteful just to get the sharing service. Also, I think this is affecting playback as it is not always smooth.

Oh, and I'm blown away by the iPhone/Server combo. Thanks.

Is there a way to adjust the buffer on the phone side to provide a more enjoyable user experience for internet use?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/306.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/306.page GMT
The buffer is not adjustable. It's internal to the media player framework and Apple does not provide any way to tweak it. Also unless you're using 3GS, the memory conditions that Air Video is running in are quite constrained which doesn't leave much more space to bigger buffer.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/308.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/308.page GMT
You mustn't take this value as an indicator of the number of people running a linux based server or NAS or any other kind of media supporting devices like you can find them here for example:[url]http://www.pvrweb.com/[/url].
Of course there are not much people browsing the web with linux, but this a is completely different thing.

I think your Air Video Server is the perfect App for a 24/7 running device like a home server (as the name applies

i would appreciate a linux server version too!
many many people are running linux at home as storage device. some dual oder quad cores with tbytes of diskspace.
i tried to run the server unter a winxp sp2 vm via kvm, but what should i say ? its a bit too slow to convert 1080p movies on the fly. here i really really appreciate a native linux version!

the little nas boxes (negear, qnap and something out there) shouldnt be supported, because they arent powerful enough to convert the movies.

I did just sign up for this forum to support you Linux guys
I am running a Synology NAS on Linux basis too.
But I wont buy this app until there is a fine running Linux server because I hate leaving my PC running all day(night) long when I have this NAS.
And I think there are lots of other ppl like me, that just would not buy this app because of that fact.
And that guys which I'm sure of, wont sign up to give just this little opinion like I did.

besides... I agree to that guy, that running a Linux for surfing and running a Linux for NAS / Web or anything like that is a big difference

hope there will be a Linux server soon or at least an opened source code

but you also have to admit that Linux does not need that much resources like Windows, so 1Ghz may be powerful enough ...
not for full hd but for some smaller files/filetypes (eg. *.flv)

the point is that it would be very useful.
maybe you can open some interface for us... maybe for a custom script/program so that we can build up a customized server platform for Linux

While I do most of my web browsing with some sort of Safari, my homebrew PVR system, which obviously has the media files on it, is running linux. Right now, I am making do by using an old PowerPC Mac Mini for the server, NFS-mounting the PVR's disks for the server to see, and replacing the ffmpeg-ppc executable with a small perl script which adjusts a bunch of arguments, and then uses ssh to kick off ffmpeg on the PVR machine (which has considerably more CPU power than the Mac Mini).

However, like the other people in this thread my multimedia collection is served off a Linux machine. Actually, my main desktop machine runs Linux only and I have an old laptop with a wireless card running the Air Video server. It works, it works pretty well actually even with Live Conversion, but it would be nice to not have to have the laptop with Windows running just for this application.

I would like to request a Linux port of the server, but in the mean time I will enjoy my multimedia collection served through my old windows laptop.

I would be happy with unofficial linux support.

I also think a unix version of the server software would make sense. looking at the number of upcoming home server solutions based on linux, I think you'll notice that it was worthwhile.

My suggestion to get this started would be to ask for help from the user community as there seem to be a lot of eager people out there that would love to have this up and running on their *nix based home servers.

If you could also make it work on FreeBSD, I would be incredibly happy

I managed to install the server software on my FreeBSD 8.0 running KDE3.

I followed the tips from the previous poster and got it running in no time.

1, Install WINE

pkg_add -r wine

2, Downloaded & Install Bonjour
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Bonjour_for_Windows

Installed on my user account with
/> wine BonjourSetup.exe

3, Download & Install Java JRE
http://www.java.com:80/en/download/manual.jsp

Choose the Windows Install Offline version

/> wine <name of JRE install file>.exe

4, Download & Install Air Video Server

Download latest Air Video Server (I downloaded 2.2)

/> wine Setup220.exe

The Server installed fine and I am able to do live conversions on my Core 2 Duo FreeBSD 8.0 server.

Hope this helps!

I have this working perfectly under linux (fedora 11) using wine.

Just installed Wine, then I installed the window air video server. The Java install fails, but you just install the latest stand alone version of java runtime for windows, swiftly followed by Bonjour for windows. My iPhone immediately saw the server and video was sent perfectly. The iPhone then lost the server name for some reason so i just used the ip address and it has worked ever since. My firewall already allows bonjour trafic internally on the network. The processor running the server is a very low wattage Athlon on a micro ATX board and everything works smoothly.

But to have it working when there's no one logged in, I experimented with Xvfb which simulates an X11 environment. It works in means of AirVideoServer starting up fine. But when trying to access the machine from AirVideo on the iPhone, I can only see the folders and just in the moment when it should show the video count after them, Java crashes with:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

I had this error when testing with X11 forwarding, but I solved it by disabling the "d3d9" DLL in WINE. Now trying the whole thing headless, it still fails. Why does AirVideoServer use Java anyways??

Any suggestions?

As a good portion is based on open source, and I do spend most of my days as a linux developer, I figure I could pull it off without too much hassle. Even if oyu were willing to release just the specs/definitions that the app uses for talking ot the server that would probably be enough.

I'm not looking for pay or anything like that, just want the app to run on linux and I'm willing to do the work ot get it there. Any code written would be submitted back to you, so if it ends up doing anything better/fast feel free to take what you want.

FFFmpeg, and facc are native linux applications ported over to other platforms, compiling them would be easy-easy for me I could even build a few .deb, .rpm, .ebuild packages. I've never played with mp4creator but I'm sure it is not a probelm.

Bonjour is really just zero-config and nDNSresponder. I have a perl script that should be compatible.

One of the side projects I have at work: building a VERY large media repository that can be streamed out to over 40 remote sites (4000+ linux machines) with a range of connections from 1Gbit fibre to 1.5Mbit ADSL, so I have done a lot of this before. Most of the current project is XBMC/boxee based.

The custom ffmpeg build just fine out of the box -- is ther any particular patches applied to ffmpeg, or just the x264, etc stuff. As my regular system build does support all that and can enocde for the ipod already. IE: any patches build by you or just the usual patch set?
Do you have any encodes that you would like me to test against (CLI options?)

I already have faac, etc built for other things and that is a normal package in linux systems. mp4creator was a pain to build, but has been superseded by libmp4v2 which is the direct replacement for it. Any plans of moving that way, or can I just replace the whole offline encoding with existing offline encoding setups?

I don't need it to be opensource, Java is not a problem on linux -- Is the main program written in JAVA? But running java as a server really does suck as java is slow and crash prone, I do code in JAVA as well.

Personally I'd love to look at the code, as I do have a few ideas that I think would work very well from some of my other work. If you'd let me work from the source I'd be happy to pass anything I do back to you to do whatever you wish. Most of them would be improvements that would help with my particular system, but should be a benefit overall with the online conversion.
I'd rather not post the ideas for improvements in a public forum just yet, but would be happy to discus in a PM

If all goes well I might build a quick GUI config editor. I see this running as a system service rather than running at the user level.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/3904.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/3904.page GMT
I think mp4creator is part of MP4IP package http://www.mpeg4ip.net/ . That should build on linux

I really don't want to get into java performance flamewar. Apart from same extremely specific cases I haven't seen java crash. You can write bad performing code in any language. There are ways to write very performant java applications (and in 1.6 the JIT compiler does pretty decent job). The only possible issues are longer startup time (it takes a while for the JVM to load) and increased memory overhead (which really shouldn't be a big deal in 2010). Anyway, while the server is idle it really doesn't do anything. While it's streaming videos the CPU consumption is rather irrelevant compared to actual transcoding (by FFMpeg).

The first alpha build of the server is available [B][URL=http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha1/AirVideoServerLinux.jar"]here[/URL][/B]. Sample property file is available [URL=http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha1/test.properties"][B]here[/B][/URL].

Usage:
java -jar AirVideoServer.jar <path-to-property-file>
i.e.
java -jar AirVideoServer.jar test.properties

I think mp4creator is part of MP4IP package http://www.mpeg4ip.net/ . That should build on linux
It does build -- just with the system that I have it complains that faac is built against libmp4v2. I test on one of my non-gentoo based system (ubuntu/debian) to see if it builds nicley


I really don't want to get into java performance flamewar. Apart from same extremely specific cases I haven't seen java crash. You can write bad performing code in any language. There are ways to write very performant java applications (and in 1.6 the JIT compiler does pretty decent job). The only possible issues are longer startup time (it takes a while for the JVM to load) and increased memory overhead (which really shouldn't be a big deal in 2010). Anyway, while the server is idle it really doesn't do anything. While it's streaming videos the CPU consumption is rather irrelevant compared to actual transcoding (by FFMpeg).

Granted, most the CPU power is used here.

The first alpha build of the server is available [B][URL=http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha1/AirVideoServerLinux.jar"]here[/URL][/B]. Sample property file is available [URL=http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha1/test.properties"][B]here[/B][/URL].

Usage:
java -jar AirVideoServer.jar <path-to-property-file>
i.e.
java -jar AirVideoServer.jar test.properties

Well, I wasn't expecting a fully polished version at all -- for those of us running a linux media server, the CLI and manual config works just fine.

Add the good news -- it works beatifically with sun java, If I get time I'll test against a few other java versions.

I did have to use the ffmpeg for you, rather than my default build with gentoo (It didn't agree with the segmenter), but it really does perform MUCH better CPU wise than inside a VM on WinXP (MUCH, MUCH better).

One of the ideas That I'd love to see is a "cache of segments". IE hash based on filename/segment#/bitrate and store in a simple cache folder, and process more segments ahead of time using a bitrate prediction.

The other option that I would love to have is the ability to tell the server to gather all thumbnails as a one-shot to pre-seed.



Anyways -- working wonderfully, I'm a happy man, now the silly question -- As air video was cheaper than what I expected and it does seem to get better -- can I pay extra for this lovely extra linux server, fair is fair after all ]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/3940.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/3940.page GMT http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/mpeg4ip-server .

This is working amazingly well for me!

One issue I did find is if I exit the app by pressing the home screen, the decoding continues in the background. If I however hit the Done button prior to exiting than the ffmpeg shuts down gracefully.

I also use a QNAP 219P and currently us the media server bundled with it and it works great for other uPnP clients but not the iphone. AirVideo solves this problem for me.

The ideal world for me however would be to run AirVideo server on the QNAP device (1.2 GHz processor) so I do not need to keep my PC on all day and night. I've read lots od posts mentioning that the CPU in NAS is not powerful enough for live conversion, but I'd like to ask if anyone has given it a go on a QNAP(or other NAS of similar spec)? I would love to hear your feedback.

Also, i would be willing to give it a go if someone would help me with the install. I have no knowledge of linux, but am willing to try if someone can assist.

I got it working on Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 after quite some (as it turned out unnecessary) tinkering.

I followed instuctions from here: http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux

I got stuck building the FFmpeg package on the missing a missing 'x264_encoder_encode' function, thinking it had to do with the x264 lib. I wasted quite some time on that. It turned out however, that the error had nothing to do with the x264 lib, but that the error was related to a missing "pkg-config" install. After fixing this using "sudo apt-get install pkg-config" everything worked fine after that.

As to running on NAS'es: My linux server is based on the new Intel Atom D510 on the D510mo motherboard, which is already used in some of-the-shelve NAS'es (for instance the Tranquil PC SQA-5H, see http://www.tranquilpc.co.uk/). Probably we will see this CPU start to appear in more new NAS'es. Good news is that live conversion works excellent! I have not seen any dropped frames yet. I am very happy with the setup!

Thanks for supporting people running Linux!

I just signed up to also thank you for the Linux support!

I'm super happy to hear about the linux support, I have a Linux NAS setup and Airvideo serving from a quad core OS-X machine. It works perfect with live encoding, even HD moives that have been cropped for example 1920x800. But If I'm trying to live stream a full 1920x1080p movie it does stutter.

I have a Home Theatre PC using Ubuntu Linux configured with an Nvidia GT240 and a Dual Core CPU. I use XBMC on it to playback movies which takes full use of the Nvidia GPU to decode the movie in real time.

I've read on the net that FFMPEG can easily (if you know what you are doing) be made to use the nvidia GPU to decode x264 streams using VDPAU. This might be a solution for me playing back all of my HD movies if I can stream from the HTPC... and actually turn my Mac off. In fact my NAS is running Linux and I could throw in a cheap GT210 card ($50) and have my NAS stream the video to my iphone, if this works...

Do you think this is a possibility? I'll have to play with it and see what happens. Thanks for opening the door to this possibility.

Thanks again,

ps
Awesome app!

I want to add my unique experience to help anyone else trying to build this on their own computer. First off, you [i]have to[/i] custom build and use the ffmpeg that the admin has linked to in his post. Since it's a static build and it doesn't have linked libraries, it's probably a good idea to keep it out of your /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin folders. I added the --prefix=/home/"user"/binary/ (where "user" is my user name) to the configure script so I could have the static build of ffmpeg not interfering or getting confused with my other (already installed) ffmpeg build. In my case, getting a hold of libx264 was a little difficult because the Debian Lenny stable version is something like 0.75, the ffmpeg will only build with 0.83. In my case that meant going straight to the source and grabbing the daily build from the VLC team--http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html and building that myself.

More importantly, the GNU version of Java will [b]NOT[/b] correctly work with the Jar server file. You [b]MUST[/b] use the Sun JRE otherwise the server will not work. Getting the Sun JRE onto a Debian Linux install means adding the 'non-free' packages to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and then updating the default java runtime by running update-alternatives as root.

Hope this helps someone who might need it.

Thanks again for a fantastic product and for making the decision to build a linux version for us nerds out there

@sassafras
It doesn't connect at all, I tap the server and it just shows "loading..." in the next screen, and after a while I get a timeout error.

I removed the openjdk that came with 9.10 and installed SUN java, java -version returns:

I have a question though...I accidentally tapped the "Convert" button beneath the Live Conversion button on my iPhone, and now every time I launch java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties the terminal window shows that it is trying to convert the same video. It doesn't seem like it's actually converting it, but it does create a temporary file in the original video's folder every time I launch the AirVideo server.

The last line of the huge block of text that is printed is "Press [q] to stop encoding". I press q, and nothing happens; it just types the letter q into the terminal. Any idea on how I can stop this?

I really hope Linux will be officially supported. This app runs flawlessly from my windows computer, but my files are all on a Ubuntu machine that's on 24/7.

It's quite untested though.[/quote]

Excellent! Let me add another voice to the chorus of "Thanks for the linux version".

(Now I just need to work out why ffmpeg's "-ss" option fails so miserably on raw DVB-T Mpeg transport streams from Australian digital TV... Currently, I still need to wrap ffmpeg in a small Perl script to remove non-zero seeking, or it will just spend a long time on most files without doing much of anything. Means I get my thumbnails right from the start of the file, and can't jump around during live conversion.)


Any chance that future versions may allow specifying the directory for the temporary video and audio streams created during offline conversion? Storing them with the original is a bit wasteful in situations (like mine) where the original is on a remote network share while the machine actually doing the conversion has lots of free disk.
Similarly, storing the final conversion output next to the original is not always the best thing to do --- it requires the user to have *write* access to that location, which really isn't required for anything else, *and* requires the location to have free space available. So it would be great if it were possible to configure a directory (or the base of a directory tree) where offline-converted files are stored. E.g. if I convert the file "/mnt/media/movies/hero.mpg" and configure the base to be "/home/umisef/airvideo/conversions", then the server could store the conversion in "/home/umisef/airvideo/conversions/mnt/media/movies/hero.mpg" (after creating the necessary directories).

I believe this sort of capability would be beneficial regardless of OS, too.

You didn`t point to the correct ffmpeg file. The path
/home/wade/ffmpeg
only points to the folder of FFMPEG, but not to the program itself.

Change the path within the test.properties to the following:

path.ffmpeg = /home/wade/ffmpeg/ffmpeg

Don`t forget to run "make" for compiling and make install for installation, else you will probably get the same error again

But I have some language issue about subtitles.

I'm korean, so I want to see my vids. with my own language.

I try to fix this problem, writing property file properly. but failed.

Here's what I did.

1. 'subtitles.encoding=windows-949' -> It seems working.

2. 'subtitle.font=Gulim' -> Every korean shapes rectangle.('Gulim' is most popular font in korea.)

3. 'subtitle.font=Korean' -> Same problem above.

4. 'subtitle.font=' -> Worse.

Then I thought maybe it's not supported yet. Is it true?

After writing the article, I started the AirVideoServer via karmics "startup" and since then, I saw icons.

I am running Karmic and am able to play native h.264 files just fine over my LAN and over the internet. However, playing with live conversion only works reliably on my LAN. When I click the "Play with Live Conversion" button when not on my LAN, the spinner comes up over the video but almost always it just sits like that and won't actually start playing ever. I've only had it start playing the video once and when it did, it would only play for a couple seconds and then stop again (to buffer I assume).

I am new to Air Video.
Bought myself an iPad and thought it will be good if I can stream videos from my Synology server - instead of going through my macbook pro.
I guess this option is still not available with Air Video, right?
Any chance of this happening in foreseeable future?

One question- it works well with .avi files, etc (and I was amazed that it can do a live conversion on a 1920x1080p bluray .m2ts) - but most of my media server has my DVD rips (ie with VIDEO_TS folders). Any way to get it to read the main movie from those?

Thanks,

Any thoughts on why the iPhone would fail, but iPad work? I was also able to connect my iPhone to another Mac based server and it worked just fine, so it doesn't look like the client.

When going into a directory, I get the following when creating thumbnails:
<snip>

When clicking on an item, I can't get to the information screen on that file - it just hangs on Loading.

I think I solved this. This is on an ubuntu server with Sun Java. If anyone else has this issue, try the following as a start command:

/usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar airvideo.properties

Convert the VIDEO_TS folders or ISO's to MKV. That way you can play them locally (through VLC or whatnot) and AirVideo will also do a live conversion for you.

Use software called Handbrake. It's for Mac/Windows/Linux(I believe). Get it here: http://handbrake.fr/

Hope that helps!

A quick note to others, you can get Bonjour to work on the Linux version if you're willing to deal with Avahi. Details on getting Avahi up and running are [url=http://holyarmy.org/benjamin/2008/01/advertising-linux-services-via-avahibonjour/]here[/url] and improved upon [url=http://holyarmy.org/benjamin/2008/11/bonjour-avahi-addendum/]here[/url]. To advertise that you've got an Air Video Server running on that machine, simply add the following to your Avahi service configuration (mine is at /etc/avahi/services/multi.service):

[code]<service>
<type>_airvideoserver._tcp</type>
<port>45631</port>
</service>[/code]

I was able to build mp4creator static, but did not have success building ffmpeg static. Admin, if you're interested, I can send you my statically built mp4creator.

Being able to run airvideoserver on linux is a huge win. I have a Linux server that sits in the cloud with huge amounts of bandwidth; I can now stream videos from my server to my ipad anywhere I am, with top quality. I get very crappy bandwidth at home (500kbps upstream max).

This makes me happy.

It would be so much easier if air-video didn't require a customized build of ffmpeg, or if it was somehow pre-compiled included......

I think I am the third person to ask this now, but want to show support for the request for a new feature. Namely, all of my source videos are mounted read only in my VM, so I would like to ask for the ability to use a different local directory to store offline converted video files.

You just made me buy the full version because of this, I'd like to point out.

On a side note, I requested a few features on another [url=http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/316.page]thread[/url] that might interest the people on this thread. I'm sure we have somewhat similar reasons why we've setup Linux media servers (flexget + transmission + air video). I'd like to quickly enumerate them here:

1. Mark as unwatched/watched (local on the device or on the server)
2. Mark server directories as a TV shows, movies or music videos directory and then finally,
3. Boxee type of filename recognition for synopsis, episode/season, album art, etc.

When this occurs, the air video client gets reset and starts streaming the video over from the beginning again, ugh! This makes the videos just about unwatchable.

First poster here, wanted to say thanks to the people who have put the effort into getting airvideo to run on linux!

However I cannot get this baby to run on my box. First off I have to say that my Linux expertise is not that great, I know a thing or two and usually am able to manage setting up most stuff (samba, webservers etc.).
I got the airvideo server to go as far as running without issues (as it seems) and returning "Air Video" to my iPhone's safari browser on "http://some.ip:45631". However when I setup my iphone for this airvideo box I can get into it as it seems but there's nothing shared, it just show a slash at the top nothing else, no errors either on the phone. I have double checked my test.properties file and the folders variable is correctly set to existent folders (wel actually to a mount folder).

I used [url=http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux]this tut. to set things up on my ubuntu desktop machine[/url]. I replaced the mbirth user with my own and that usetr owns the shares so it should not be a permission problem.
I am pretty new to airvideo (never used it actually) and do not know if it has problems with subfolders in the shares defined. I think that's not the issue since I tried it in a folder with only files and it still didn't do a thing.

Are there any logs I can check? Haven't come accross any yet. Any help is greatly appreciated!

p.s.
I read that open java that ships with ubuntu can be problematic so I already installed Suns java, no difference though, made sure it was selected as default thru "sudo update-alternatives --config java"

p.s.s
Do you guys think I will be able to transcode using a Sempron 140 with unlocked core (equivalent to a AMD X2 4400E) ? If not I think I'll still like to use airvideo to quee up conversions to take with me when I leave my home (which I believe airvideo can do, right?)]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/7488.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/7488.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/7491.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/7491.page GMT

The guide you linked is the one I used. Successfully installed x264 (for what I know) from the custom PPA. So now I tried install airvideo with Wine, wich i actually succeded with. So is there any negative with running airvideo thru wine?

And one more thing, can I change the port in airvideo (the linux version)? Cuz, with wine, it didnt work proparly until i changed the port to 45000-something, but couldnt find any such config?

By the way, this is a awsome program!]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8185.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8185.page GMT
Iam trying to reencode live stream from Dreambox, but it is not working very well.

My problem is the following:

I can't stream more than 4-5-6 sec:

http://drp.ly/11phfy+

I Am trying debug with command:

/usr/bin/ffmpegairvideo -i http://192.168.2.101:8001/1:0:1:772F:2C1:600:E080000:0:0:0: -t 30 test.mp4

The test.mp4 is only 5-6 sec length.

Output from the command is here:

http://pastebin.com/RnR17zfP

Ubuntu 9.10/Intel Atom ION: ASROCK A330ION with 4GB RAM

Maybe my PC is too slow?
Thank you!

but - missing the file-extension .m2t (hdv-recordings)
is it possibple to add a parameter to add fileextension to show?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8216.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8216.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8224.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8224.page GMT
I've got my own beefy collocated Slackware server with several TBs of data, and a 100mbit internet connection. If it were possible to run AirVideo on it, I could sell my PC at home, because everything I need would be my iPad and that server to see all my movies and series

Sorry to be a bother but I've got everything installed but LiveConversion failed. Here's a dump of my debug log, just wondering if anyone can spot anything obvious as to why it isn't working? The critical errors appear to be in the last few lines.

Thanks also to mbirth for the good instructions in the [url=http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux]Wiki[/url]. Getting it working on my Ubuntu 10.4 system was a piece of cake.

I am one of the MythTV developers, and I got an iPad yesterday. Very pleased with Air Video.. It looks quite nice.

I'm jumping in, without having read the previous messages.

Is the server protocol defines anywhere? I would like to add quick support for Air Video on the mythtv server..

At least you have a java server...

But provided you are giving the server for free, opening the server specification at least would allow you to sell much more applications...

Now all it means is you entice me to produce a competing product ]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8433.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8433.page GMT Will send you a PM with more explanation.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8434.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8434.page GMT Not sure what I did wrong the first time around but I just did all the steps again from the mbirth wiki and this time I got it to go.
Still a little issue though with the upstart script, not sure what's up with it.
If I just run "java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties", then it works. If I run "sudo start airvideo" it says it's started but then I have the same issue as before (empty folder list and sometimes an error saying it can't connect on the iphone but that's sporatic). Probably some permission thing. Anyone that can point me in the right direction?
On a sidenote with the upstart script I still get "Air video" response on "http://someip:45631"[/size][size=7] [/size]

---EDIT---
Never mind I had a typo in the upstart. Fixed!!! Thanks guys for this awesome tool!

p.s.
Haven't tested much but live conversion on my box (Sempron 140 with unlocked core) is doing great so far with xvid encoded avi files. Might get issues with higher bitrate files, not tested yet, first I need to get the upstart going.

---EDIT---
Seems live conversion of 720P files is not a problem either, just wanted to put that in the edit so people can get (maybe) a feel for the system requirements. I've seen a Core2Duo recommended at least, and I know the core2 series is quite big (covers a big performance field) but I think my setup is comparable to the most low end core2 setups and maybe not even.

---EDIT2---

Sorry for the ranting on this post Might feel a little hectic (which I am from time to time ).
Was just testing out the connection from WAN. Noticed that airvideo does not do DNS lookups? It does not work with my subdomain URL I pointed to my linux box. It does however work with the static WAN IP I get from my carrier. Anyone can confirm? Not really a deal breaker for me, the IP is fine too, would be a nice addition though.
Oh it might be something that it's bound wrong, like bound to it's LAN IP address or something instead of my URI.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8488.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8488.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8489.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8489.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8490.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/8490.page GMT

It works OK... certainly better than trying to pull an entire 1080p video across the internet so I can encode it on the laptop here.. :p

Thanks for the support :p Most companies won't even go as far as releasing bits.

I'll buy the app now :p



btw. I'll add to the instructions above that running on dual stack systems will break due to a known java bug. The standard workaround works - run as follows:

Thanks for releasing the Linux version. For me at least it was the reason I bought air video.

Would it be possible for you to keep the first post in this thread updated with the latest release(s)?
That way we wouldn't have to search through 17+ pages to find the correct download.

Did you configure your Router to forward the connection to your AirVideo-Server? You also need to know your EXTERNAL IP-Address to the internet or setup something like dyndns.org. Then you have to connect the iphone to the dyndns.org-name or the external IP - the Wifi-Adress will not work.

Figured it out. Yes I have a domain name, I just didn't forward the ports to the linux box b/c I didn't have to do that w/ the windows server (upnp took care of it). Turned off upnp then port forwarded manually and everything works.

java is used only for part of the application. Still, Linux port is technically possible but due to very small user base it's not really feasible.[/quote]

Linux support is needed!!! I have a mediaplayer, which use linux. It would be great if i can reach it from my iphone!

Please!!

Go back through the thread, he has builds that work under linux. I'm currently running it on my MythTV box.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/9135.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/9135.page GMT
Combined with the x264 tarball from [url=ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/]here[/url] and the ffmpeg from [url=http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/download/ffmpeg-for-2.2.5.tar.bz2]here[/url]. I then used mpeg4ip tarball located [url=http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mpeg4ip/mpeg4ip-1.5.0.1.tar.gz]here[/url] since their website didn't have a working tarball download. I installed it using the arguments
[code]./bootstrap --disable-mp4live --disable-player[/code]

To get x264 working correctly I used the configure options further back in the thread:
[code]./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-postproc --enable-pthreads --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-decoder=aac[/code]

I used these in conjunction with [url=http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha3/AirVideoServerLinux.jar]this[/url] .jar file and the [url=http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha1/test.properties]default[/url] properties file.

64a stream (audio only) is forced on linux, but only on very lowest priority. It is possible to fix this simply by reverting to old behavior, but before that I'd like to find out why that happens. The stream should only be picked if the bandwidth doesn't allow any of the better quality streams.

I will try again after I finish watching my current episode of TV (on airvideo) -- I am using the latest version available on the app store for my ipad.

Same here I will test this and report it here!

Another Thing: There ist a bug with AirVideoServer and FFMPEG because when you check for opened files with the command line "lsof | grep /path" airvideo and/or ffmpeg leave the files opend after watching and quitting the airvideo.app on iphone for a few hours. thats a problem for me because I have a script which checks if there are any files opend in a specific folder if not it suspends the server, but now it will never take the sever to sleep because ffmpeg or airvideo server let the files streams open.

may be it can be fixed with flush() and or close() your files stream in java?

thanks for feedback!

[b]EDIT:[/b]

Okay The Alpha 3 Thing is tested too,

If you force him to use everything between 128kbit/s and 2048kbit/s its working, everything is fine. my broadband connection at university is slow!
Then I forced him only to use between 768kbit/s and 2048kbit/s now I get this image and audio only?

Maybe there is a Bug?!

Okay i switched back to Alpha2 and now everthing is up to normal, i used the same settings in the airvideo.app and now there is video with 768kbit/s and above.

So now I'm confident there is a bug in Alpha3 server.

Interesting observation, what you have also describes the behavior I'm seeing.

At the suggestion of admin earlier, I locked my bitrate setting to 1024kbps. My videos don't actually require that high of a bitrate and transcode into something around 600kbps. Either the client or server must somehow see this as insufficient bandwidth and drop down to the lowest available bitrate.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/9233.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/9233.page GMT

Might be in University where I tested, there is a very slow network connection, but besides of this it should switch automatic to a lower rate if I do not forbid this via encoding preferences.



[b]Edit:[/b]

Tested this with Alpha2 and Alpha3 both the same problem, if you select a too high bitrate for your broadbad connection it switches automatically to "audio only mode".

On both Server Versions:

If you select a too high bitrate.... 1024kbit/s isn't possible with my 32Mbit/s down and 2Mbit/s upload - notice thats a problem with my internet service provider not a problem of airvideo server

My videos are SD 640x352, and the source itself is only 600kbps. There's really no reason for ffmpeg to use a higher bitrate. I just select a high bitrate setting in the air video client to ensure the best possible quality comes out of the server.

I tried alpha3 and i can connect to server, I can see thumbnails and I can 'browse' through video (and always get correct thumbnail for that position). What I can't is play video. My guess is that it is because I'm using standard ffmpeg. When I try co compile modified ffmpeg I get this message:

Make sure libx264.so is present. Maybe you have something like libx264.so.98 and not libx264.so. In that case 'cd' in the directory containing the libx264.so.98 and:

[code]ln -s libx264.so.98 libx264.so[/code]

Also, make sure libx264 is in your library PATH.

I did an update on my ubuntu 10.04 today. At the same time I moved all my media files to another location. (I assume the update has had nothing to do with it, but you never know)
I edited my test.properties file to point to the new location on my hard drive (and didn't save the old test.properties file of course)
Now my ipod touch won't show any directories when I connect to this server (it shows a grey screen with a "/" in the title area, where it used to show the words "tv shows" or "movies"
So I am playing with my test.properties file and just moving some movie files into new locations and changing the directory in case I am doing something stupid like not having a "/" in the right place - but I give up. (I have tried with/without a / at the end, and I have checked Capital Letters as well)
Can someone help me with this?
my test.properties file has:

then in my directory (/home/wade/Movies) I have a video file. for good measure I also stuck a directory in there called A and under that directory I have another movie file. so only two files in total to try and keep things simple.

Airvideo files (the test.properties file and the AirVideoServerLiux.jar file is placed under /home/wade/AirVideo. I also tried using the latest java file found in the forum.

when I open a terminal I do the following:
cd AirVideo

it runs and says a few things like

I did an update on my ubuntu 10.04 today. At the same time I moved all my media files to another location. (I assume the update has had nothing to do with it, but you never know)
I edited my test.properties file to point to the new location on my hard drive (and didn't save the old test.properties file of course)
Now my ipod touch won't show any directories when I connect to this server (it shows a grey screen with a "/" in the title area, where it used to show the words "tv shows" or "movies"
So I am playing with my test.properties file and just moving some movie files into new locations and changing the directory in case I am doing something stupid like not having a "/" in the right place - but I give up. (I have tried with/without a / at the end, and I have checked Capital Letters as well)
Can someone help me with this?

mp4creator is only used to mux files during convert. I wrote a shell script to do the same with ffmpeg thus removing a dependency on mpeg4ip (which was abandoned in 2007 and I'd have to downgrade rather a lot of stuff to install now). I reckon just doing the convert on the server directly on ffmpeg would be much faster anyway (for some reason it splits it into two files then merges it back again)... might make a shell script to do that.

Porting the ffmpeg patches to a newer ffmpeg actually turned out to be not so bad as they're self contained.. running ffmpeg 0.6.something I definately get better performance - however...

Both the old and new ffmpeg basically don't thread. You get one thread using 99% of CPU and maybe another using 2-3% and I've got the best part of 3 spare cores doing nothing. I *suspect* it may be due to the way it uses ffmpeg, but I've not pulled the patches apart much to see if they can be improved. The upshot is that streaming a 1920x1280 video file is hit and miss.. mostly miss as the server seems to give up after about 5 minutes.

I'll see if I can put together diffs etc. so it's easier to apply to new ffmpegs as they come out. OTOH it's 3am and I've got work tomorrow, so maybe later :p

I saw a buddy using this program on his ipad. I immediately went in search of a linux server. This is works way better than the web interface i was building manually and is perfect for filling the gap in my mythtv setup(well except for the whole .nuv file problem).

But on a side note i'm having some issues with the server ATM. I figured i'd post here before i start digging.
I followed these instructions here: http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux and was able to follow all the steps except this:
[code] install libx264-dev (0.svn20100115-0.0~kkstemp1 from Stéphane Marguet's PPA!) [/code]
Because according to package manager that package isn't available for install on 10.04. So i used the package from the lucid universal server.

Now when i connect to my server two things happen. First i do not get any thumbnails for any videos. Second any video that isn't already in the format .m4v will not load. When i select the video it just hangs trying to load or it gives me an error which i can report. The only error i seem to get in the server console is this:

[code]Exception in thread "Thread-41" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11.XToolkit

Am i just being an idiot about something? I've tested with alpha3 and alpha2.

EDIT: In alpha3 when i try and view a video file that it hangs on i get this error:

This is exactly the reason why I register on this forum, I understand that you don't have that much Linux webpage visitors here though many are using QNAP or .. NAS devices which you can't see on your website/forum.
It would be a dream to have this software available in a QNAP package and will boost the attention of your application for a major community.

I see the linux part is already starting great news! hope a N00b install package will be there soon! ,great product!

I'm trying to run AVS on Ubuntu 10.04. Here are the specs of the machine:

- VIA C7-D 1.6 GHz
- Phitronics PC3000E+
- 3x1.5 TB :twisted:

and this is how I managed to install AVS:

[code]sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras libmp3lame-dev libfaad-dev libx264-dev mpeg4ip-server git-core pkg-config build-essential sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin faac
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun
mkdir ~/airvideo
cd ~/airvideo
wget http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/download/ffmpeg-for-2.2.5.tar.bz2
wget http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha2/AirVideoServerLinux.jar
wget http://inmethod.com/air-video/download/linux/alpha1/test.properties
sed -i 's@/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg@/usr/bin/ffmpeg-airvideo@g' test.properties
sed -i 's@/usr/local/bin/mp4creator@/usr/bin/mp4creator@g' test.properties
sed -i 's@/usr/local/bin/faac@/usr/bin/faac@g' test.properties
tar xjf ffmpeg-for-2.2.5.tar.bz2
cd ffmpeg/
./configure --enable-pthreads --disable-shared --enable-static --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --disable-decoder=aac
make
sudo cp ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg-airvideo
cd ..
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties[/code]

Running on this processor (VIA C7-D 1.6GHz, single core) 480p videos are [i]nearly[/i] usable, but that's a limitation of my NAS, not of AVS itself.

Now I'll try to make a (experimental!) ubuntu package, if someone wants to try but is not really into CLI as we are.

By the way: I couldn't manage to get avahi working with AVS. As suggested, added this on /etc/avahi/services/multi.service (actually I created it, since it didn't exist before), but it does not show up automatically on the iPod. But I don't think it's such a big deal, because you can add the IP address anyways.

has anyone been able to get this to run on debian etch? maybe I can get some pointers. I am not sure that mpeg4ip-server is installed correctly either, could that be the issue?

Are you sure the password is not cached by client?

I would bet you your company against this by far, that Linux is on more machines then OSX that you do not know of.

I use linux exclusively for all systems in my home and I was quite upset that OS 4.0 broke support on the previous linux release.

Makes my day to hear someone is hard at work getting it up to par with osx/windows 2.2.7 version.

Keep up the good work and thanks for all of your efforts.

If I can lend a hand in any way please pm me - I know development and java quite well...

The linux server only runs when you are connected to the local wifi network right? Tested it from my phone on 3g and it wouldn't connect but works when connected to wifi. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.[/quote]

Did you configure your Router to forward the connection to your AirVideo-Server? You also need to know your EXTERNAL IP-Address to the internet or setup something like dyndns.org. Then you have to connect the iphone to the dyndns.org-name or the external IP - the Wifi-Adress will not work.

I am not sure, if there is some documentation regarding this in the normal documentation or FAQ for the AirVideo-Clients / Server.[/quote]

I would love to see some kind of documentation for setting up the Internet access; i know all routers/setups will be different, but it would be nice to see what exactly I would need to get it working, and then I could go from there to find those settings on my router. I dont even know how to add the external server to airvideo to test the port forwarding settings i did...! My network is on an airport extreme, so it should be capable. Although, my linux server wired directly to an airport express on the other side of the apartment, so that might complicate things, I'm not sure.

I've been running the latest and greatest since that message popped up and I had to upgrade.

Incidentally it stopped working today and I just get a blank screen with no share folders, I've tried recreating the test.properties file and replacing the .jar file to no avail.

I ran an update on my ubuntu server a couple of days ago maybe that borked something, I didn't really pay attention to what was being updated.

You're running the wrong ffmpeg. I had the same problem when I tried to get it running with the system installed ffmpeg. Just follow the instructions at:

http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux

He even tells you where to grab the AirVideo specific ffmpeg and how to configure and build it. You can build this special ffmpeg without installing it, then just point the .properties to the ffmpeg you just compiled.

This evening, I watched an MKV on my iPad, no problems.

Good luck,

Hello again Tim.
I downloaded the correct ffmpeg listed on the WiKi. And followed the instructions several times. Still got the same error message...

Can you post your .properties file?

Any ideas?

It's good to hear that you have the correct ffmpeg. I think that you're right that it is a properties issue.

Your posted debug output shows:
[code]
# DEBUG: PortMapperAction: Scheduling task PortMapperAction$2 (11372121)DEBUG: LiveConversion: Getting segment 0

[/code]

Note the path and version information for ffmpeg...

On my system:
[code]
/home/stough/src/ffmpeg-airvideo/ffmpeg ...

DEBUG: Encoder: FFmpeg version UNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2010 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

[/code]

My guess is that, though you built the ffmpeg (and maybe installed it?) you are pointed to a previously installed ffmpeg. When I built the AirVideo ffmpeg, I did not install it. I just pointed my properties to it.

Here are my properties:
[code]
path.ffmpeg = /home/stough/src/ffmpeg-airvideo/ffmpeg
path.mp4creator = /usr/bin/mp4creator
path.faac = /usr/bin/faac
password =

subtitles.font = Verdana
folders = ...
[/code]

Is that a possible solution?

Make sure that the user you are running the server from is the owner of that ffmpeg directory and that the ffmpeg binary is executable.

One possible way to fix this is to make sure the CPU is free, then make sure the network is not loaded. It's possible, though unlikely, that the file i/o is too slow. You can also tell the client that the slow bit-rates are unavailable (uncheck them), but, for me, that doesn't matter.

When this happens to me, I just stop and restart the stream and it usually correct itself.

Anyone have other thoughts?

When I realized that I needed a fast video conversion machine more than a year ago, I got a Intel Core 2 Quad, 2.67 GHz, 4 GB RAM. With 4 TB of storage hanging off it, it is the perfect video transcoding machine. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and use Handbrake-CLI for batch conversion, PS3 Media Server for streaming to the TV, and, now, AirVideo.

With that setup, I can simultaneously watch different 1080 MKV videos on the PS3, an iPad, and an iPhone.

The machine was only ~$1000 then, so you should be able to get something comparable for less, now.

It seems to startup ok but when you try to connect to the server the bit where the content folders usually pop up are missing.

If I switch back to the old build (alpha 2) I get the server too old error when connecting. When I use alpha 3 i get no error just no folders. It's like the test.properties file isn't feeding the folder data to the app or the app isn't parsing the directories.
Is there some kind of cache kept for the content and thumbnails of each folder that I could delete?

This is what I get when I run it manually:

DEBUG: SnapshotCache: Initializing Thumbnail Cache; Java Version: 1.6.0_20

I'm running a headless Ubuntu Server x86_64 10.04 as our family media server. The server has a i3 530 CPU and 4gb or RAM with good LAN and 100Mb WAN connectivity. I previously had the Air Video Server running on my Windows 7 machine running flawlessly for LAN and WAN video streaming. I've moved everything over to my Linux media server and it seems that Alpha3 is functionally useless for WAN streaming. In the vast majority of cases under Alpha the video stream quickly drops to low quality audio-only and in all cases immediately drops to audio-only when resuming the playback position. It appears clearly that Alpha2 is working with no issues when compared to Alpha3 when it comes to WAN streaming under Linux.

I'm easily able to quickly and easily replicate issues and provide Air Video and shell access to my server if it helps diagnose the issues. Please feel free to PM/email me.

* One missing feature that comes to mind is a web-based client model. The web-based client could be licensed feature supported from the server opening up the entire model to more than just iDevices. I would be willing to purchase another license or two assuming I could cross platform access to the Air Video Server.

Right now WAN streaming from Linux is not stable (at least not for me). Both alpha3 and alpha2 with the current play is no go. It will start OK, then drop to audio only. It seems as there is an issue with the bandwidth detection?

I have played with streaming from OSX to my iPhone on 3G which works OK as long as you are not moving at speed!

500Kb upload seems to be enough. Again the biggest issue will be your 3G provider.

Once a newer Linux server comes out I will try again

While my setup is working generally well, I've had problems with the quality dropping off and having to restart the stream. Others have mentioned quality drop problems as well. Since I've never noticed pauses due to the buffering issues, I can only assume that the server is erring on the side of detection too little bandwidth. Maybe a parameter could be exposed in the properties file so that we can try to fine tune it?

The PLF package is borked and unusable, so I had to find an RPM from another
distro at http://rpm.pbone.net/. The RPMs won't install with the Mandriva pacakge
manager so save it a file. A mpeg4ip version from a distro genetically similar to Mandriva
(SUSE or Red Hat) should work. Once the rpm is ensconced on your disk, issue the following
command to extract the files:

rpm2cpio mpeg4ip-1.6.1-2.pm.4.1.x86_64.rpm| cpio -idmv

This will create a directory tree structure in the current directory which contains the RPM''s
files, so don't do it anywhere it might overwrite something important!!!!!! Copy the files by hand to
their appropriate directories and you should be good to go!!!

I upgraded my server to alpha three but now my ios3 devices no longer work.

I have an ipad and and iphone 4, I can't get both to work at the same time. Suggestions?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/11958.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/11958.page GMT
I run Gentoo on my PC, and mp4creator is unavailable in Gentoo's package manager. Trying to compile it from source only resulted in more stumbling blocks, so I wrote this script to replace mp4creator with mp4box:

[code]
#!/bin/bash

echo Incoming command: $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

if [ "$4" != "-I" ]
then
# First step: create mp4 file
/usr/bin/MP4Box -new -add $2 -fps $4 $6
else
# Second step: mux in audio
/usr/bin/MP4Box -add $2 $3
fi
[/code]

The 'if' is needed because the mp4creator app is called twice: once to create the mp4 file w/ video stream, and one to add in the audio stream. Seems to work fine so far :)]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/11970.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/11970.page GMT
[quote=troald]Hi,

This latest beta3 is running quite smoothly on my Xeon dual-core server (latest Ubuntu Lucid version) and is using both cores (in ffmpeg) nicely.

I followed the guide on [url=http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux]wiki.birth-online.de[/url] and build only the modified ffmpeg and installed mp4creator by using 'sudo apt-get install mpeg4ip-server'.

I hope that the offline converter generates mp4 files for my new iPad (when it arrives next week ) next to the already generate mp4's for my iPhone.

Keep up the good work! An I hope many new features will follow in the future.

Just wondering... Could the AirVideo server be used to do batch conversion of video's? Would love to see my automagically downloaded tv-series get converted on the fly

P.S. It's a pity that ps3mediaserver is not yet able to convert video's for the iphone/ipad. Now I have two media-server-apps running on my server

Hi there!

Im running the beta3 on an ASRock 330 ION. The server itself is up and running just fine and according to this forum that HW should be good for decoding 720p movies.
However, when I run a "mpstat -P ALL 2" I get the following output:

11:57:39 PM CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %idle
11:57:41 PM all 25.19 5.68 0.25 0.25 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 68.64

11:57:41 PM 3 1.92 0.00 0.48 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 97.60

It doesn't seems to be utilizing the full CPU and the video starts up fine on the iPhone/iPad and then drops to a lower quality.

In the logs I get the following to start with:
DEBUG: Encoder: frame= 362 fps= 17 q=17.0 size= 2064kB time=13.56 bitrate=1247.6kbits/s

It then drops to:
DEBUG: Encoder: frame= 383 fps= 15 q=21.0 size= 538kB time=22.40 bitrate= 196.8kbits/s dup=0 drop=228

I did compile the ffmpeg with "--enable-pthreads".

Am I missing something here or is the HW just to weak?
Sourcefile is a .mkv in 720p H264.

It seems that as soon as the AirVideo app can no longer get the data in time it stops displaying it (or is this the standaard iPhone video player of AirVideo server? who stops with sending video?). Audio does continue thought.

If I setup the AirVideo app to use lower bandwidths when needed it keeps playing some more minutes. But still it stops after about 10 minutes.

Here's the output of the ffmpeg command:

Having trouble installing ffmpeg from here:

Installing 2.25 gives me a ERROR: libx264 version must be >= 0.83.

this is how it looks:

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown
respawn

exec sudo -H -n -u mbirth /usr/bin/java -jar /home/sebas/AirVideo/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /home/sebas/AirVideo/test.properties

when i manually start it with:

[code]java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties[/code]

there is no prob.

Any ideas?

I use following upstart script.

[code]
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown
respawn

chdir /path/to/airvideo/
exec sudo -H -n -u username /usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/airvideo/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /path/to/airvideo/test.properties
[/code]

In your case will it be:

[code]
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown
respawn

chdir /home/sebas/AirVideo/
exec sudo -H -n -u sebas /usr/bin/java -jar /home/sebas/AirVideo/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /home/sebas/AirVideo/test.properties
[/code]

It helps maybe ;)

You're running the wrong ffmpeg. I had the same problem when I tried to get it running with the system installed ffmpeg. Just follow the instructions at:

http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux

He even tells you where to grab the AirVideo specific ffmpeg and how to configure and build it. You can build this special ffmpeg without installing it, then just point the .properties to the ffmpeg you just compiled.

This evening, I watched an MKV on my iPad, no problems.

Good luck,

This wasn't an issue pre iOS 4.0...

Any suggestions? I know it is trying to negotiate a low bitrate so that it would not chew up my data however I have 6GB a month and I would prefer that this would downscale for me. It works if I establish an L2TP tunnel back to home and play it through the internal ip address - no issues then - even if going over 3G.

Can anyone comment?

Have a ubuntu lucid / 64bit box, quad core.
SUN Java version is this one.

[code]java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)[/code]

Most movies i have are mkv (720p/1080p). With os 3.2.1 all was good,

But after uprading my iphone 3gs to 4.0.1,
streaming stoppt always. Did not know why.

Get mostly that usage:

[code]EBUG: Segmenter: Wrote segment 0
DEBUG: LiveConversion: Segmenter thread exception: Stream closed
DEBUG: LiveConversion: Encoder thread exception: IOException - Stream closed[/code]

But it worked with disables sound .

--

I can also reproduce it

When I downgraded it quickly to alpha 3,
stream stopps after few sconds

And when I use the new alpha 4 it works with the same mkv files.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12590.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12590.page GMT
My finding so far:

[b]Alpha 4[/b] gives me error even with a clean new cache (First time it give cache error but a restart makes it fine)

Could you publish all of the possible properties for the properties file? I'm curious if there are properties we're missing, since we don't have a gui (which I personally don't need). Specifically, I'm interested to know if we can change the default suffix for converted files (from " - airvideo.m4v" to ".m4v"...makes scp'ing files a little easier) or change the directory where converted files are stored (".converted/" or "converted/"...the server software could just as easily look in that folder to see if the converted file exists, and replace the link shown to the client). More customization == better!

Thanks again. Good job.

P.S. for those of you who want to watch these files locally on your ipad/iphone/ipod after converting, look at GoodReader. It has a webdav server module, so you can upload converted files directly to GoodReader and watch them in GoodReader also! Have to be on WiFi to access the webdav server (or my3g, I guess).

One question: Is it possible to convert files with this Linux-server? When I add a file to the queue, nothing seems to be happening. It says unknown time left, and there is no CPU-usage on the server so I guess nothing is happening.

I would gladly donate aswell if there is any PayPal-account.

PS: Can you please make it easier to find the latest alpha? Having to read trough all the pages here just to fint it is not fun. Maybe you can link to the latest alpha in the first post or something?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12624.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12624.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12627.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12627.page GMT

I have resolved this issue. The reason is the JDK can't reach the network if the net.ipv6.bindv6only parameter is set as 1. This parameter is defined in file /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf. After I set it as 0 and executed 'invoke-rc.d procps restart', it works well again.

I hope it can be helpful for those using Debian and experiencing the same issue]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12674.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12674.page GMT
I am running 10.04 of Ubuntu. I have Postfix mail server installed and set to send alerts.

When I have the following script in the in a /etc/init/airvideo.conf file as described here http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux.


[code]start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown
respawn

exec sudo -H -n -u johnnytk36 /usr/bin/java -jar /home/johnnytk36/AVS/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /home/johnnytk36/AVS/avs.properties[/code]When i boot up the Air Video server starts perfectly and i have no issues with it. What im having a issue with is that IF i have the airvideo.conf file in the etc/init/ folder like it needs to be to boot i receive a email from my Postfix server with the subject.
[code]*** SECURITY information for Server ***[/code]& a body of [code]Server : Aug 30 18:30:30 : root : ***
[/code]The *** in the body is usually some random strange combo of a few characters.

I think it has to do with permissions, i just don't know where the issue is. I think the email is trying to tell me that something tried to guess my root pass.


I know this said it was for Karmic Linux and it I'm using Lucid. That might be the issue, i don't know.

UPDATE: After spending 6 hours debugging this all i could, i cant figure it out. I have narrowed it down to the fact that we are using the sudo command while already in root. I think that triggers the email to be sent. It seems to be bypassing any setting i can think of to stop this. I have tried to edit the sudoers file to not allow email sent, but no matter what i did. It didn't work.

This is what i added to the sudoers file:

[code]Defaults mail_always=off
Defaults mail_badpass=off
Defaults mail_no_user=off
Defaults mail_no_host=off
Defaults mail_no_perms=off[/code]

Here is the auth log output:

[code]Aug 31 02:05:21 Server sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=johnnytk36 ; COMMAND=/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /opt/AVS/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /opt/AVS/avs.properties[/code]

Could if be the fact that the sudeurs file is only readable by root?

Any help is appreciated.

I've given up for now and I'm just going to do a filter in Gmail to delete the email as soon as it comes in. This might be a true bug, but i dont care anymore. If anyone else using 10.04 sees this, let me know, so i know i'm not alone.

http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/sudoers.man.html

[b]UPDATE 2: Fixed[/b]

It was my hostname in the host files and real hostname didn't match. I had changed it a few weeks ago. I still dont know why the sudeors file ignored my settings not to send emails though.

I'm having the same problem with debian squeeze...

The issue is that I actually don't use ipv6 (build in the kernel in squeeze, so disabled through grub through /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1")

When I try to run 'invoke-rc.d procps restart' I get :
"Setting kernel variables ...error: "net.ipv6.bindv6only" is an unknown key
failed."

Any ideas?

Thanks

recently i bought a linux nas (qnap) and started investigations on how to run avs on it. with the help of this and the qnap forums i was able to achieve that goal. qnap-howto -> http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=32731&start=0
having read that live conversion on a nas is unlikely to work, i thought i would have to remux my whole library from mkv(x264/ac3) to mp4(x264/ac3/aac) and started making tests. remuxing of some testmovies went fine and fast and native streaming from the nas via avs is working excellent.
cause i'm a natural lazy but curious guy i started to playing around with the live conversion, hoping to avoid library remuxing. the results were surprisingly positive.
ipod is doing fine in every resolution and max. bandwith. the ipad will work without interruption up to a horizontal resolution of around 640-720px. one have to play a bit with the conversion settings because the results are a bit different from movie to movie. even if they have the same video size and codec. finding the lower limit that works fine with many movies is a quick task and if your sources are of good quality the results will still look good on the ipad. sharp and without visible artifacts.

below are some test results. maybe it is useful for someone comparing them with there own system.
at the end of the post is a whole debug output of a conversion start. could be helpful for comparing ffmpeg build options, etc.

kind regards,
dreamkp

Does the linux version recurse subdirectories?
It does fine as long as the videos are in the directory specified in the path, but does not show any vids in subdirectories.

if the path in test.properties is Movies:/path/to/Movies
Movies/video.mpg will show in the list
Movies/ will so 0 files if the file is in Movies/Comedy/video.mpg

Cropping doesn't work?

I have no windows PC's to compare functionality. I'm a linux only home, so yeah I'm happy they built the alphas.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12991.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/12991.page GMT

Can you post your log?[/quote]

Actually, it appears to be working now. I put a bunch of videos into the same working dir to test, and it works. It's probably a permissions issue, I'll look into it later.

My setup (for testing only) is:
Ubuntu 9.04 (Core2 Duo @3GHz, ext4) server/htpc on LAN (because I could not get HDMI audio working under Fedora )
Fedora 12 (AMD 64 X2 4200+ @2GHz, ext4) Desktop
All wired through gigabit wireless router

Ubuntu media shares are mounted on the Fedora desktop via autofs (which is basically on-demand NFS)
The AirVideo server is running from the Fedora box
And of course the iPhone 3G is on the wireless.

That might be the most convoluted setup possible, but it was only for testing. Everything goes onto the ubuntu HTPC box when it works. I suspect the top level directory had less restricted permissions than the subs.
Even with this inefficient setup, it's streaming 1080 content just fine. I really am a fan of ffmpeg too.

If this thing could stream iso's I'd pay double for it, and I'm as cheap as they come. If it could do audio files I'd leave an iPod velcro'd to the wall in my basement connected to the stereo forever.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13009.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13009.page GMT I've gotten it to work with wine before (But it was painfully slow)
So I would like to get this native linux working.

So here is my issue.

I'm running a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 (32 bit)
I follow the directions as best I can here: http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux
The only hiccup I have is it says I need java so i apt-get "openjdk-6-jre-headless"
then the server will run and I'm able to see file names and navigate my videos directory (I only changed the file location in my properties file, besides that it's stock)
So I am able to connect to the server and I can browse through my directories but none of the thumbnails will load and if I click on a video it just tells me that something has happened and asks me to report it.
I am then sent back to the server list

So i tried removing the openjdk-6-jre and installing the sun jre and I got the same results.

(I've tried this on 2 different machines with the same result so I think the issue is me)

Here is the CLI output

The only way I can reproduce this error message is if the path in test.properties does not match the file location. I tried everything from symbolic links to permissions, and the only way I got this same message was a missing file. Which is weird since it appears to have been found in the first couple lines you posted.

[/quote]

Not to step on your toes, but as a suggestion, I would recommend:
[code]nohup java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties >airvideo.log 2>&1 &[/code]

"nohup" allows the script to keep running after you exit your shell. Using "&" alone runs the risk that the script to die when you quit your shell (if the shell sends the SIGHUP signal, the script will die. nohup tells the script to ignore SIGHUP). Using "&" alone may work in most shells, but some will kill all background processes when they quit.

"2>&1" tells the script to log errors and regular output to the same file.

">airvideo.log" tells the script to send output into airvideo.log. This file will get VERY large after a while, so I'd only use this for debugging purposes.

"&" at the end tells the script to run in the background.

As another suggestion, I like to manage my own Java JRE/SDK installations:

1) download a new JRE from java.sun.com and extract it to /home/apps (giving me a directory named "/home/apps/jdk1.6.0_18/" which contains the bin/, jre/ and lib/ directories).

2) create a symbolic link named "/home/apps/java" which points to the latest JRE (`ln -s /home/apps/jdk1.6.0_18/ /home/apps/java`).

3) set JAVA_HOME to /home/apps/java in the .bashrc file in my home directory. (`export JAVA_HOME=/home/apps/java`)

4) include /home/apps/java/bin in your path (`PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH`)

This way, all you need to do to update your JRE is (1) extract a new JRE where-ever you want and (2) update the /home/apps/java link to point to the new JRE directory. This gives you more control over which version of java you use, and don't have to rely on packages rolled together by your linux distribution (which may or may not include/lack features you need).]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13444.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13444.page GMT [code]
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

[/quote]

The above line points to the error. The Java runtime is trying to execute "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg", but can't. This is usually because (a) the file doesn't exist or (b) the permissions for "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg" aren't set correctly.

Try this
[code]
ls -l /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
[/code]

This will list the details for the file. If you see [code]ls: cannot access /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory[/code] then your ffmpeg executable is missing. Otherwise, you have two options (probably more, but let's look at two):

1) The following gives everyone permission to read and execute /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.[code]sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg[/code]
2) The next line will execute the script as root (as long as you have sudo set up and root has execute permissions on the file. see http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/sudo-tutorial/)[code]sudo java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar test.properties[/code]]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13445.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13445.page GMT

Any ideas how I can fix it?

EDITED: I've found a problem, it is a bug in ffmpeg which has in the file _overlay.c
the following code:
host = gethostbyname("127.0.0.1");

and I do not have loopback interface, because I run in under linux-vserver, so I've changed it to

host = gethostbyname("localhost");

so at least I will be able to set it in /etc/hosts

and problem is gone. :)

I have seen that the problem is due to the fact that the customized version of ffmpeg 2.2.5 cannot connect to port 46631 when the process is lauched from the java application, but if you launch the conversion to m4v file from the shell (the same command that appears executing 'ps -elf') while the java application ir running it starts. If the java application is not running it returns with the same socket error 111 (impossible to connect to server).]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13805.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13805.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13845.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13845.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13910.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13910.page GMT
first I wanted to thank you for your efforts on creating a linux version of the server.
I bought airvideo for 2 ipads and one iphone shortly after the first alpha version. It always worked great.

Unfortunately I got a problem since the update to alpha4. It became neccessary because of the current airvideo apps refusing to work with the old version. Since this switch videos with 23.97 (ntsc) produce a slight stuttering during live transcoding. I am not sure what the problem is. I read in another post that the previous desktop version had a bug, which caused it to round the framerate down to 23 instead of roundin it up to 24. If this problem has been fixed in the desktop version, but not in the linux alpha build it would explain the stuttering I am observing completely. Is there a chance this could be fixed and released in an alpha5?

If you need any kind of log information to fix the problem please don't hesitate to contact me.

Cheers,
Jakob

I detail the console output that I got in my post to that threat, so I won't repeat it here, but in essence it seems like i have got all the packages i need installed successfully. However, gcc and git are not found when I actually try to run them/use them to compile stuff, so I can't get any further with adding h264, xvid etc. Any hand-holding would be very welcome.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13957.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/13957.page GMT

If I run the server "sudo java -jar AirVideoServerLinux.jar avs.properties" it works perfectly. Without "sudo" I get errors like such:

Because of the need to run the program using "sudo" I think I have permessions issues:

The 'working' is due to the fact that I can not run linux server alpha 4 since the application thinks my computer is to slow = I can not upgrade AirVideo

If you are happy with not having the live conversion, a NAS is powerful enough to support the streaming.
For me it perform better for me than [url=http://www.twonky.com/]Twonky[/url] (nPnP) and [url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/airplayer/id369713694?mt=8]AirPlayer[/url] on the iPad. ]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/14613.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/14613.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/14624.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/14624.page GMT

Excellent piece of software.

My only issues are


1. I have to run the program as sudo in order for it to work. Any idea how to resolve this?
2. How do I point Air Video towards my NAS. I can point it towards local and USB drives with no problem but when I try to point it to my NAS is does not find the files.

libx264-dev
libx264-98

Which I installed following the instructions here:

http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/apple-iphone/airvideo-server-linux

Reverting both packages in Synaptic solved my issue. To do this, highlight the package, choose "Package" up top and choose "Force Version". It seems I only got this update because my Repositories had both of these options checked:

"Pre-released updates (maverick-proposed)" and "Unsupported updates (maverick-backports)"

If you don't have these options checked, you won't get the bad update.

I have plenty of RAM - 4GB - and a powerful CPU, Intel i3 3,07Ghz.
I made some tests using both SD and HD720 files and no matter what's their original quality, I can't get some of them play smoothly. They keep on stuttering every 2 or 3 seconds.

I can't find a package for mp4creator (or mpeg4ip-server) and when I try to compile it I get:

SDL appears to be installed
Error - we have detected a version of faac that has libmp4v2 support
and no copy of mpeg4ip-config. This means faac was built with
faad2 and the libraries will be incompatible.
Please reinstall faac without mp4v2 support

I don't feel like having a custom version of faac on this since it does lots of other multimedia duties (including mythtv, etc). Anyone got a binary that will work with Fedora 14, or a trick to getting it compiled, or a package / rpm suggestion?

Thanks!]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/15664.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/15664.page GMT

First of, thanks for a great App and for the linux support!
Quick question:

Is there any way to have two servers running on the same box with different ports and passwd?

If you start a second server on the same machine, it automagically picks the "next available port". If the first server is on standard port (45631), the second server will run on 45632.
Unfortunately, I don't see how you can change the name it is advertising, so you have to add the second server manually. I just did and it worked.

Good luck!]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/15913.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/15913.page GMT

given that live conversion is working fine for me, but not offline - it seems more as configuration issue.

For offline conversion I can only select current folder and then getting error on failure to write to it, server logs are not helpful.

For those who are having trouble compiling ffmpeg, I've put my [url=http://dkturner.thruhere.net:50580/ffmpeg.zip]Air Video ffmpeg build[/url] up on my server. Should work on Ubuntu 10.10.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/16474.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/16474.page GMT
I have everything up and running but it seems I have the unmodified version of ffmpeg installed, so everytime I have live convertion go I get an error saying it doesn't recognize the convertion id. So I now have the modified ffmpeg extracted in my /opt/etc/ffmpeg directory trying to compile and install the modified ffmpeg.

Here is where I am stuck...

[code][~] # cd /opt/etc/ffmpeg/
[/opt/etc/ffmpeg] # ./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-gpl --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-decoder=aac

TEMPLATE is any name with six `Xs' (i.e., /tmp/temp.XXXXXX).

Options:
-d Make a directory instead of a file
-q Fail silently if an error occurs

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.err" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.
[/code]

I can't seem to get anything to compile because it can't write iinto the tmp directory. I have gone through and changed the properties of the tmp folder to 7777 but nothin seems to work.


I have a QNAP TS-459 Pro and would either love to get this compiled or if someone has a compiled ffmpeg already with a QNAP.

I am now however for some reason not able to locate libx264 and libxvid, even though I am sure I installed them

This is what I am getting when trying to install libx264 again

[code][/opt/etc] # git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
fatal: destination path 'x264' already exists and is not an empty directory.

[/opt/etc/x264] #[/code]


Xvid seems to install fine, however, when I take out --enable libx264 out of the ffmpeg config when running it I am able to get a little further(I guess) but it then tells me it can't find libxvid....WTF


[code][/opt/etc/ffmpeg] # ./configure --prefix=/opt/ --enable-gpl --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libxvid --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-decoder=aac

I feel like an idiot, i don't really know linux too well but the **** if I can't follow simple directions and still not get it to work,lol.


BTW, for the last week I have been able to have the AVS running on my server and be able to browse through all my videos on my iPhone 4 but I haven't been able to watch any of them with Live Conversion. They will start to load and then just quit out. Probably something to do with ffmpeg is my guess.

After some fairly serious fiddling I've finally managed to get it working correctly on CentOS 5.5 and I'm here to tell you that by far the most difficult part of it was trying to get mpeg4ip compiled. Not only is this package dead as of 2007 and missing the most recent tarball, modern GCC compilers won't work with it unless gcc-c++ legacy libraries are also installed along with lib-tools, automake etc. It would be great to see a shift away from this package to something a little more recent.

I have noticed a problem, however, with the frame rate of the streamed output to my iPhone/iPad. Looking at the debug output it seems as though the ffmpeg command is always being issued with an integer -r flag. Any video I try to stream that has a frame rate of 23.98 has "-r 23" passed to the encoder resulting in a skipped frame every second and jerky playback. Videos with 25fps are streamed correctly at 25fps so it would seem the value is either being truncated or otherwise forced to be an integer.

Any chance this could be fixed in the next alpha? The ability to choose the location of converted videos would also be great.

Lastly, just want to say thanks for your continued Linux support and great work on a superb program. The possibility of running a Linux server was the incentive I needed to purchase this app.

It was actually easier than the mBirth wiki suggests as on Ubuntu 10.10 there are packages for all the dependencies.

Don't feel bad your actually trying Linux the hard way as its not really a fully fledged system on th QNap. It appears to me that you may have installed the binary libs for x264 and Xvid but the compiler is looking for the development libs (eg lib-x264-dev)?

You might be able to compile the binary on another linux box and transfer it over to the NAS maybe on a live cd version?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17236.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17236.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/405/34.page#12578]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17237.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17237.page GMT http://inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/1856.page]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17473.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17473.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17488.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/17488.page GMT

Ok, it works with the Alpha5 + 3.4.5-beta3 version of ffmpeg. However, this version of ffmeg is not able to transcode as fast as the previous version on the same machine and is causing constant buffering.

The air-video server is running on an Ubuntu 10.0.4 NAS/dual core Atom 330. This is not a high powered machine obviously, but is the machine that I run 24x7. Anyway, this used to work without periodic buffering in the last version. I will get the logs and post it here when I get back home.

Another issue: On my iphone4/ios4.3 I used to VPN into my home network over 3G and then run Air Video to avoid having to open a port to the world, this stopped working after the latest client update. I'm still able to browse the videos just fine but when I try to play anything it goes to the video screen for a second and jumps back to the info screen (I tried deleting the app and re-installing and it did not help). On the backend I noticed that there was no attempt to run ffmpeg (no new log entries on trying to play a file). The same thing works fine if I VPN over WiFi-hotspots (instead of over 3G) as well as noVPN + 3G directly to the port-forwarded air video port on my backend.

I'm using the latest version of Airplay on iphone4/ios4.2.1

http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=32731

The installed version is alpha 5, I've used ffmpeg found on this site and the lastest build of x264.

My Qnap TS-509 pro should be fast enough for live conversion, because I upgraded the stock celeron to a c2d e7600.

I used this line to configure my build:

./configure --prefix=/opt/ --enable-gpl --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-decoder=aac

libfaad doesn't seem to be necessary anymore and libxvid couldn't not be found, but that's not of my concern, because I'm particuarly interested in the live conversion of 720p x264 mkv rips to my iDevices.

On the client app, the server seems to open normally, I can browse my files, but live conversion doens't work.

The following lines occur when I tick live conversion, and should be of my main concern:

DEBUG: SegmentedEncoder: FFmpeg version 0.5, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

[b]DEBUG: SegmentedEncoder: /mnt/ext/opt/ffmpeg/usr/bin/ffmpeg: unrecognized option [/b]

I'm a Linux noob, but think that it has something to do with the bold lines.

- I don't have the folder /opt/cross-project/x86/sys-root/usr on my NAS.
- My configuration files is localized in opt/etc/ffmpeg.
- The only configuration options visible are disable static and enable shared, while I have used the options at the beginning of my post.
- There seems to be something wrong with the executable found in /mnt/ext/opt/ffmpeg/usr/bin/ffmpeg

So, what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Could it have something to do with the fact that I've first installed an incorrect build of ffmpeg and the folder under /mnt/... wasn't correctly updated?

I deleted the folder, recompiled ffmpeg and the files under /mnt/.. are still gone, so it might have been an incorrect build.

What about the gcc line? I installed a gcc 4.2 ipkg specifically for my qnap model, but ]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/18148.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/18148.page GMT

First off I'm assuming that you did download the correct source code for the compatible version of ffmpeg.
Just for testing, you can temporarily point test.properties to the newly built ffmpeg that should be at /opt/etc/ffmpeg/ffmpeg (if you followed the directions from the qnap forum then you should find the executable here).
If I'm not mistaken the install script will put the ffmpeg executable under /opt/bin but I'm not sure.

Now I get another error:


[b]DEBUG: Thumbnail: /opt/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisenc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[/b]

Also, the .mkv file in the client app states "invalid"

libvorbisenc.so.2 is found in /opt/lib

When I configured enable-shared (which shouldn't be necessary) and recompiled, I got another error:

[b]libavdevice.so.52: cannot open shared object file[/b]



]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/18151.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/18151.page GMT
/opt/lib

to:

/etc/ld.so.conf

and used the command:

ldconfig -v to update the libraries

The MKV file keeps being invalid, according to the client app and live conversion doesnt work

Some other questions:

1. When I reboot my NAS, the line:
[code]/opt/lib[/code] disappears from:
[code]/etc/ld.so.conf[/code]
Is there a way to make it stay there permanently? The server doesn't work without it.

2. Is there another way to start the server than using the command:
[code]/usr/local/jre/bin/java -jar /opt/etc/airvideo/AirVideoServerLinux.jar /opt/etc/airvideo/test.properties [/code]
in shell?

I would really like to add it as a bonjour service, which starts on reboot with avahi-daemon. Adding *.service with:
[code]<?xml version=”1.0″ standalone=’no’?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM “avahi-service.dtd”>
<service-group>
<name replace-wildcards=”yes”>AirVideoServer on %h</name>
<service>
<type>_airvideoserver._tcp</type>
<port>45631</port>
</service>
</service-group>[/code]
in:
[code]/opt/unstable/etc/avahi/services[/code]
doesn't do the trick.

I was following the instruction thread to install AVS on Linux - I installed the 2.2.5 version of FFmpeg and was getting the error - unrecognized option '-segment-length' so i decided to try the newest build of FFmpeg as suggested earlier in the thread. However I cannot get the beta version of FFmpeg to compile - I keep getting the error:

[code]ERROR: libx264 version must be >= 0.99.[/code]

which makes no sense as my entire install is up to date with all the required packages.

I also received an error earlier about --enable-libfaad not being recognised either.

EDIT: - I replaced libfaad with libfaac and enabled nonfree as follows:
[code]
./configure --enable-pthreads --disable-shared --enable-static --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-nonfree --enable-libfaac --disable-decoder=aac
[/code]


Any help would be great thanks!

Trying out Air Play, all day today been playing around with it and finally got it working on CentOS 5.5 -- just a heads up to developers, alpha5 is bugged with a segment length problem. Unrecognized parameter. Alpha4 works fine, although havent tried rebooting my server yet Too scared to do that since everything is working just great.

One question though, does anyone know how to get Air Video Server started on boot on CENTOS, the wiki explains Ubuntu only. I tried just running Java, but it halts all my other services and sits on the listening screen. Currently I need to ssh and run Air Video in a screen.

Thanks!]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/18975.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/18975.page GMT

I created a package for the Qnap NAS platform and one of the users reported that with russian file encoding in the Iphone App he doesn't see the name of the movie. This is what he's getting ФильмС, instead of Фильмы . When the server is started I add this parameter "java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 ... the rest" but doesn't work. Any ideas?
My second problem is how to get the AirVideo Server to save the SnapshotCache in other location other then the user home folder? The home folder of the user admin is located in /root and this folder gets cleared when the NAS is restarted. I don't want to add a new user for now, I'll consider this as a last option.

I have managed to install the server software on a Ubuntu 10.+ virtual machine.

Because of the virtual server usage I have created a mapping in my Virtual Machine to a SMB network share to access all my video files.


The SMB share can be mounted using the following command (in my case I'm mapping it with the video folder under my ubuntu account).

(everything between % should match with your setup)

sudo mount -t cifs //%smb_server_ip_or_name%/videos -o username=%username%,password=%password% /home/administrator/Videos/



* Be sure to reboot Ubuntu after this install procedure.
* All the command are run from a terminal/ command prompt (even the downloads)


1, Install WINE

sudo apt-get install wine

2 Download and Install Java for WinXP

wget http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=39494 -O java-winxp.exe

Installed on my user account with

wine ./java-winxp.exe

3, Downloaded & Install Bonjour

(found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Bonjour_for_Windows)

wget http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL999/en_US/BonjourPSSetup.exe

Installed on my user account with

wine ./BonjourPSSetup.exe


4, Download & Install Air Video Server

Download latest Air Video Server (I downloaded 2.43)

wget http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/download/Setup243.exe

/> wine Setup243.exe

Now reboot your Ubuntu instance and check your video share mappings in the Air Video Server configuration.

After this you should be able to stream your video to your iDevices from Ubuntu!

Just want to give in my voice for a linux version, since I am using Mac BUT Synology NAS.

I have been seeking a PC-less AirVideo solution... I have a pretty good wireless network, N@5Ghz and a giga-nas. I have also bought ExPlayer($3), AirPlay($5) and Buzz player HD($4) that able to play directly from NAS but they are not that smooth... can't even handle a 500MB file.

I would rather pay for a AirVideo Linux server software, currently I have a Mac-mini [b][u]JUST TO HOST the AirVideo for my iDevices...[/u][/b], isn't it crazy???

Admin is also right, the nas cpu&memory might not power enough to do the conversion on the fly, maybe I just should sell the nas and host the files with the Mac mini.

That's the normal behaviour: it really just hangs there.
It is waiting for a connection from the ipad.

In your ipad, click the + icon and select "Specify Address Manually".
In the "Location" field, you must enter the IP address of your computer.

The app worked excellently for months, though now it just doesn't seem to work... It just errors out when I tap on a video.

Is there a package available? I never know what works anymore...]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20349.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20349.page GMT
If you take the AirVideoServerLinux.jar and unzip it, it contains the java source code.

Using a hex editor, open the file Cli.class in the subdirectory /com/inmethod/air/video/ I tried using VI but it gave me errors, so I just used a hex editor.

Scroll down to address 7EE. There is the port, listed as 45631. I changed it to the port I needed. (33517)

I then rezipped the entire folder structure into a new zip file AirVideoServerLinux33517.jar and ran with the normal [code]java -jar AirVideoServerLinux33517.jar test.properties[/code]

AirVideo now listens on the custom port I specified, allowing me access through my VPN.

Hope this helps someone.

After some fairly serious fiddling I've finally managed to get it working correctly on CentOS 5.5 and I'm here to tell you that by far the most difficult part of it was trying to get mpeg4ip compiled. Not only is this package dead as of 2007 and missing the most recent tarball, modern GCC compilers won't work with it unless gcc-c++ legacy libraries are also installed along with lib-tools, automake etc. It would be great to see a shift away from this package to something a little more recent.

[/quote]

Would love to know how you got mpeg4ip compiled on CentOS... I'm on 5.6.

I had no problems at all getting the ffmpeg and AirVideoServerLinux.jar bits running (my notes are at [url]http://blog.simonandkate.net/20110612/air-video-and-streaming-video-to-ipad-and-iphone[/url]), that went really well, but for the life of me I cannot get mpeg4ip to compile. It gets through ./bootstrap, but a make fails with errors that I suspect are due to the GCC compilers issue that you mention.

Are you able to provide a tar of your mp4creator? Would be nice to get that last little bit of functionality working...


Having said that - this software rocks, love it. Was only too happy to pay for it. Well done and thank you!]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20456.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20456.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20507.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20507.page GMT Would love to know how you got mpeg4ip compiled on CentOS...

I had no problems at all getting the ffmpeg and AirVideoServerLinux.jar bits running (my notes are at [url]http://blog.simonandkate.net/20110612/air-video-and-streaming-video-to-ipad-and-iphone[/url]), that went really well, but for the life of me I cannot get mpeg4ip to compile. It gets through ./bootstrap, but a make fails with errors that I suspect are due to the GCC compilers issue that you mention.

Are you able to provide a tar of your mp4creator? Would be nice to get that last little bit of functionality working...


Having said that - this software rocks, love it. Was only too happy to pay for it. Well done and thank you![/quote]

As mpeg4ip is quite out of date now you'll need to install a legacy support package to get it compile correctly. I've just tested this on a clean, minimal CentOS 5.6 build with nothing except the 'base' and 'editors' software groups selected:
[code]yum update
yum install gcc automake autoconf libtool SDL-devel gcc-c++ cvs[/code]
and as root:
[code]tar xzvf mpeg4ip-1.6.0.1.tar.gz
cd mpeg4ip
./cvs_bootstrap
make
make install[/code]
It will take quite a while to complile and obviously complain about a nonexistent GUI, but it'll get there eventually and put your binaries in /usr/local/bin.

I can't remember where I downloaded the source code from, though, so here's a link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6662647/mpeg4ip-1.6.0.1.tar.gz

Good luck chaps.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20817.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/20817.page GMT
Is anyone else experiencing something similar?]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/21133.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/21133.page GMT
First thing first, I tried EVERYTHING to make it work under wine64, and it just won't work. Bonjour Services v2.0.2 can be installed if you extract the msi (cabextract) and install using "wine msiexec /i Bonjour64.msi /qn" ... But dnssd.dll won't load. I double verified using regsvr32 and it doesn't work.

In my case, I just recompiled wine without win64 supports and reinstalled everything (flushed my ~/.wine folder). I installed Bonjour using the same method (.msi), but with Bonjour.msi, and everything is now running smoothly.

AirVideo client (iPad 2) found the server using Bonjour, and I am actually streaming a video with live conversion. (xvid, 672x36

So, if you have issues running AirVideoServer under wine, think about installing Bonjour using the msi package, and stop using wine with win64 support!

And thanks for the wonderfull product! ]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/21658.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/21658.page GMT
I've been trying to get this server to be installed and run on a Linux machine. My problem is that whenever I try to connect I get the error:

"Your server software is outdated. Please update AirVideoServer."

Now, before you jump at my throat for not knowing how to resolve this issue, let me explain that I read through pages 1-15 and 35-40 of this forum, and never found anyone having the same complaint, which almost scared me into not posting! I downloaded the file directly from the Admin's link on page 7, 8, or 9; the update that improved video quality on the iPad. However, my iPhone and iPad are running the latest versions of the app.

I was able to get EVERYTHING else working, even Bonjour. Is there a place that I can edit the server version, or remove the check for server version, or run the newest linux alpha release that would be compatible?

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/22325.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/22325.page GMT http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/22326.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/22326.page GMT
Also, this is a tidbit of information that I get back from my server. I don't have any directories specified yet as I simply wanted to get it working, but this is what's returned. Is this a Java error I'll have to rectify before I'll be able to live convert?

Wondering if someone can help. I'm new to Air Video and Ubuntu Server, have gone through many of the forum pages and tried to setup Air Video via command line. But i just can get things to work, my linux command ability is not very good either but i'm getting there slowly.

If someone can help me set up Air Video from scratch , will all the relevant commands, that would be really appreciated.

Hang in there with the linux CLI, it gets easier and soon you'll wonder how you ever did some things via mouse and keyboard.

Have you tried the Wiki? I can't find the link currently but know its in this forum somewhere. It should give you the commands, or get you close enough. ]]> http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/23427.page http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/preList/34/23427.page GMT [url]http://www.inmethod.com/forum/posts/list/552.page[/url]
