I\'ve been successful watching almost all video types with the codecs built into MythDora. But here is what I have to do to make it easier. As Ding knows, I have a little more unusual setup than most. I have 1 master backend and 1 slave backend. I share recordings between the 2 with the standard mythdora transfer protocol with no issue. I have a master Media volume with a bunch of compressed video, vcd, divx, xvid, etc. <br />\nOne thing I noticed was that Xine isn\'t so good at opening up some .bin files (most of the vcd images i have). So instead of xine i use mplayer. But what I did was write a wrapper script to check the file extension of the file, then kick off either xine or myplayer accordingly. I then replace the xine player command in the videos section with my wrapper script. I\'m not sure if this is what you are attempting to do or not, but hopefully it helps. </p>\n<p>As for the codec locations. normally they are in /usr/lib or /usr/local.

Where are they supposed to go?

Kaffeine wanted them somewhere that ended with/win32. Wasn't smart enough to write it down because I thought it would give me the error message again. Not!
Xine wants them in /usr/lib/codecs But I can't find that dir. Need to make it?

I don't want to break this just yet. I am starting to like it.

Still trying to figure out how to watch my VCD's and bring them into the box.

Haveing fun though. :D

Yep, looks like you will

Submitted by d00dtv on March 22, 2006 - 10:04pm.

Yep, looks like you will need to create those directories. They both get created in /usr/lib. So it will be /usr/lib/win32 and /usr/lib/codecs. Now you'll have to find the actual codecs and place the appropriate ones in a directory. Make sure your permissions are correct on everything ;-).

Not sure what codecs you need

Submitted by pisani on March 22, 2006 - 9:55pm.

Hey Larry.

I'm not sure what codecs you're looking for. I've been successful watching almost all video types with the codecs built into MythDora. But here is what I have to do to make it easier. As Ding knows, I have a little more unusual setup than most. I have 1 master backend and 1 slave backend. I share recordings between the 2 with the standard mythdora transfer protocol with no issue. I have a master Media volume with a bunch of compressed video, vcd, divx, xvid, etc.
One thing I noticed was that Xine isn't so good at opening up some .bin files (most of the vcd images i have). So instead of xine i use mplayer. But what I did was write a wrapper script to check the file extension of the file, then kick off either xine or myplayer accordingly. I then replace the xine player command in the videos section with my wrapper script. I'm not sure if this is what you are attempting to do or not, but hopefully it helps.

As for the codec locations. normally they are in /usr/lib or /usr/local. I think vlc is in /usr/local/vlc/codec. I think the /*/*/*/win32 path is built into the binary, as it's a normal search path, but I can't be certain. What are you missing in particular?

#!/bin/bash

Thanks Ding, I can do

Submitted by LarryT on March 22, 2006 - 10:36pm.

Thanks Ding, I can do that.

Pisani;
I can't remember the URL I got the Codecs from. However, when I tried launching Kaffiene, it complained that it couldn't find the codecs and to go to such and such a URL and get them. I got the 'Essentials' codec pack.
.bin files??
Ahh. That may be a part of my problem. I have already burned the VCD's to disk. I no longer have the bin's, just the playable VCD's, .mpg's in a sub-dir /mpeg/ I believe.

I may still have some set up problems though as Real Player, Kaffiene and Xing are the only video media players that will open.
MPlayer, Movie Player and VLC don't even open when clicked on..........

Any other time I would go to my books and re-read on Linux. Unfortunately, in my current state of move, :( , I don't have that option.

Mythfrontend

Is there a reason why you're not using the mythfrontend interface? It sounds like you're using mplayer kaffeine,etc from the XFCE4 window manager. If you go into mythfrontend you should be able to go to the optical disk menu and play a vcd just like a dvd.

Submitted by LarryT on March 23, 2006 - 8:40pm.

Well, yeah. I am trying to do it thru X. But, that is because trying to play a VCD through Myth does nothing.
I have checked the path to the cdrom in Myth's player settings and it shows as /dev/cdrom and it call mplayer to play it. But nothing happens.
So, I went to X to try running it (MPlayer) from there to trouble shoot. MPLayer wouldn't even open. Seems as if I should have gotten at least a window for the program, nothing.
Then I started trying all the other media players to see what was happening.
That is when and how I found Kaffiene and it complained about no codecs.
Thinking that this might be the problem, I went for the codecs.

I did get a few of the other things setup, Weather, News those things.
That made me feel good!

Command line

Submitted by pisani on March 24, 2006 - 10:22pm.

Well. I would suggest trying to play your vcd through a command line call to mplayer. So if you open an xterm, then type in the same mplayer command listed in MythFrontend's video player field, you'll at least see what the error output is. You can probably try just mplayer vcd:// and see what happens. Get the error output and let us know what it is.

No matter.Everything is

Submitted by LarryT on March 25, 2006 - 8:49pm.

No matter.
Everything is broke now.

After running into some other problem, I did a full re-install.
Doesn't recognize my monitor anymore.
Now, after going thru the whole boot sequence, text and the Fedora screen and text, When it used (!) to go to the X window, then on to the MythDora window, it now gives me a wihte screen with horizontal and vertical black lines.

Needless to say, I am bummed.........
Too stressed over things that are happening now.
When I get back in my house, I will try again.
Thanks guys!
I can see that this is gonna be a great program.

Something else connected to VGA card?

Submitted by keith721 on March 26, 2006 - 7:28am.

LarryT: If you have multiple devices connected to your VGA card, that could be the cause. This same thing happened to me after I connected my projector cable to the DVI port and rebooted. Vertical black and white lines showed on my LCD monitor. I rebooted twice before I figured out I had connected the DVI cable. Duh.
