 Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 6:23 am Post subject: MythStream not showing in Menus |
 |
|
Ive installed mythstream according to the instructions on the knoppmythwiki however the buttons arent appearing in the menus. i followed the wiki to the letter, so it should be showing up - well, at least in theory 
at the bottom of the page on the wiki there is a comment from Kerry Morrison
| Quote: | | I tried to install Mythstream a few weekends ago and it refused to show up in Mythtv. I followed all the instructions and kept thinking it was a plugin issue. It wasn't. My Myththemes was messed up. I cleaned and re-installed Myththemes, made the required additions to lirary.xml and media_settings.xml and it works perfectly now. |
so it sounds like perhaps i am having similar issues and this solution might fix the problem for me, but there is not enough information supplied. can anyone shed some light on this one? i would be very grateful - i love my internet radio 
using - knoppmyth R5A16 |

Just had the same problem. Even though I'm 99.9% sure I did this step properly:
9. edit settings.pro and change /usr/local to /usr
I still ended up with all of the files installed to /usr/local. Just copy or move this directory and file
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythstream
/usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so
to
/usr/share/mythtv/mythstream
/usr/lib/mythtv/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so
Hopefully that's all you have wrong. After that it worked out of the box for me.
EDIT: fixed the path to libmythstream.so

thanks for that - i followed your instructions and it showed up in the menus, but clicking on the buttons caused my system to crash.
i also had to copy the following files to get it to work:
copy
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream-ui.xml
/usr/local/share/mythtv/streamconfigmenu.xml cp
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream.png
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/blue/stream.png
to
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream-ui.xml
/usr/share/mythtv/streamconfigmenu.xml
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream.png
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/stream.png |

Just a question as I install mythstream i come to the step where it tells me to cd to the /mythstream directory
No such directory under /usr/mythtv
so I am not sure at what point that directory would have been created. |

What step are you talking about? If it installed in the rigth directory, it should be in /usr/share//mythtv/mythstream.

Sorry, I had to create a new profile because of access problems with connollyr
I followed the instructions below but at step 10 I saw nothing in the /usr/share/mythstream folder and nothing in the previous instructions that would have created a directory like the above. My skill level isn't great but not to bad either, I have installed myth under fedora and the R3-->R5a16 versions of Knoppixmyth. I downloaded the files in step 1 to a temp folder and then extracted each to its own folder.
My Web interface works well and so does webmin i am using the Haupauge 350 flawlessly just want to take this next step
Thanks for any input
1. Download mythstream and player.xml from http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~moongies/streamtuned.html
(Make sure to get mythstream at bottom of page, not streamtuned at top)
2. tar -xvzf mythstream-v0.16_3.tar.gz
3. export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
4. export PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
5. cd /usr/src/mythtv/sources
7. tar -xvjf mythtv-0.17.tar.bz2
8. cd mythtv-0.17
9. edit settings.pro and change /usr/local to /usr.
10. cd path-to-mythstream/mythstream (no path anywhere to Mythstream) |

I think he means the path to the untared source code in step 2. |

Negative for me too. I followed the directions pretty well until the apt-get install mplayer-k7, which is not an available package for me, even after an apt-get update. It won't install "mplayer" either, saying I have a newer version. Should I go and compile it from source? I don't care that much about the Realaudio streams and it was my impression that was the only reason you would need to do that.
Anyway, after all that, and the
cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/* /usr/share/mythtv I did based on this thread, the icons are there, but they don't do anything, just highlight for a second and go right back to the menu.
Better than crashing I suppose.  |

If you're having trouble getting the video streams to play, try this..
| Code: | | # vi /usr/share/mythtv/mythstream/player.xml |
and add
| Code: | <item>
<name>-vo</name>
<value>xv</value>
</item> |
to the <custom> section

| Unless we know someone is comfortable with vi or emacs we tend to recommend a simpler editor like nano or nedit. Dropping newbies into vi has been declared cruel and inhumane in most juristictions. |

nah just point them to vimtutor to learn it since vi is a very good skill to have anyways.

I think jcmthree just had a typo in his post, since he is saying copy the .so file to itself. I did a:
cp /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins
That finally got me the MythStream screen and while none of the news streams worked, I was able to play one of the music streams. Woohoo! This is one of the top reasons I wanted to get MythTV rather than a Tivo or some other DVR, so that makes me pretty happy.
I haven't tested further than that yet, because I have to get some sleep tonight. I have been dreaming about Knoppmyth every night this weekend, which is more than a bit disturbing.

Hi. I had the same problem just now. Solved it by
cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/* /usr/share/mythtv
and
cp /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins
...does this mean "make install" doeas the wrong thing, or the install instructions are wrong? Or are we all too stupid... |

what it means is that the default install directories in the mythtv makefile do not match the install location used in knoppmyth/debian.
