I am able to compile gstreamer just fine, but when I port it to the platform where I want to use gstreamer gst-inspect comes back with: "can't cd to /home/MY_HOME_FOLDER".
MY_HOME_FOLDER is the folder where gstreamer and all of its tools got compiled in.
So, how do I tell configure script (or whatever decides to remember this path) to use common Linux paths so when I port gst-inspect to /usr/bin it would work OK?
I was trying to convert a flac audio to mp3 using soundconverter & its failing with the error:
Quote:
GStreamer error: Gstreamer encountered a general stream error.
I should note that the flac is a rip of an actual Mono Vinyl disc. Am not exactly sure how that was done but I was interested in converting some those files to ogg & mp3. OGG conversion doesn't give any error.
Below is the result when launching soundconverter from the terminal & trying to convert the flac file(s) to mp3 (i just tried ogg to mp3 & the same error occurs):
Code:
$ soundconverter

I'm trying to inspect network traffic from my iPhone / iPad / Kindle / other wi-fi only consumer electronic device. To do this I man-in-the-middle myself (connect laptop to LAN via wire, create wireless Ad-hoc network, bridge the connections, then connect my device to the ad-hoc wi-fi network) and use Wireshark to watch the traffic.
In the past this has been adequate for my needs (just wanted to watch and see what potentially private info was being leaked about me / see that banking / amazon / etc apps were going over SSL). Now I've noticed that applications are almost all using SSL (which is great) but they are way to active for my taste. I'd like to use these apps but want to know what's happening in the background. I know that corporations dead-end SSL connections at their proxys to inspect the traffic and then re-establish the connection on behalf of the user for the trip across the internet. While I find the corporate use a bit distasteful, I think this is exactly what I'd need to do to myself. Any suggestions for how to do so or other ideas on how to get the packets in the clear?
How can i inspect and evaluate the mbr on a disk in a computer?
I'm interested in how to do this in general.
I can use gparted to see the partitions on a disk, but i don't know how to use it, or any other tool, to see just what is in the mbr.
The particular situation i'm in is that i have two disks in my computer. One has ubuntu 10.10 on a single partition, and one has 11.04 on one of 4 partitions.
The 11.04 disk used to be bootable, but somehow i messed up the disk: longer story: i installed another os on another partition, and the other os redid the mbr and installed a different version of grub, and i tried to reinstall grub but ended up with a disk that wouldn't boot. So i put my old 10.10 disk back into the machine so that i could at least boot and look around on the 11.04 disk.
Now, there are probably ways that i could recover the 11.04, but i would like very much to be able to systematically analyze the 11.04 disk to determine its exact current state before modifying it.
Since the disk is not mounted it seems like this should be in reach: i want to be able to (a) capture the mbr from the 11.04 disk [into, say, a file on the 10.10 disk] (b) get an analysis of what the mbr would do (where it points to etc, and what is at where it points to) (c) get any high level information which can easily be determined from (a) and (b).
I'm trying to work out a way to inspect/modify dns requests as an advertising filter. Iptables is a good place to do this, but I'm having some problems disassembling the packet. On my dev box, when a DNS reply is returned from a request made on the dev box. I use this rule to route the reply packet through a queue:
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 53 -j NFQUEUE --queue-num 1
Will the rule catch the inbound udp packet with the dns reply in it? I get something in the queue, but it's unintelligible when attempting to disassemble the packet. I don't want to move onto looking at my program until I get some feedback on the rule.
Here's a primitive diagram of what I'm working towards:
host ->DNS request->iptables(no outbound rules)-> DNS Server
->DNS Answer ->iptables(queue udp 53 packets)
->inspect packet program-> Allow/Deny -> host processes allowed packets
My server ended up on 1 (just 1) block list and I'm finding it very difficult to convince myself that it was just an error of some kind.Can anyone think of any giveaways at the packet or port level that some program is sending spam from my server without using the normal MTA (nothing suspicious is showing up in the sendmail logs)
View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody here know a program (Linux-based or even Windows-based) which permits looking at the files structure of a harddisk in such a way that you can find out what file lies where on the harddisk?To specify further what I mean, back in the DOS days the Norton Utilities would show the distribution of files on a harddisk. It would show the harddisk as row upon row of rectangles, marked as used or not used, and the top left rectangles were the beginning of the harddisk while the lower right were the end of it.Now if a program put some files at the end of the harddisk it was possible to mark the filled rectangles and find out exactly which files were there.

"gst-launch filesrc location=/root/yuvraj.mp4 ! mfw_mp4demuxer ! queue max-size-time=0 ! mfw_vpudecoder ! mfw_v4lsink"
it is working fine. but the screen is very small and it is in middle, How to make that full screen and the letters which is in terminal is also coming along with the video.
I'm having trouble finding information on using gstreamer to convert videos from the command line. I've seen examples to convert audio and know it's possible to convert video (Thoggen does this with gstreamer) but what would the command be to execute this? I assume it will use gst-launch but there are so many following switches that it gets confusing. I'm interested in converting a DVD to OGG (as Thoggen does). I ask this because Thoggen:
1) Doesn't remember my preferences (quality, picture size etc.)
2) Gives me a huge preview window that I do not need (while it is encoding)
how do I get volume control gstreamer on my Ubuntu. my computer expertise is very small
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to get soundconverter to work on ubuntu 10.10, I've checked I've got all the restricted packages installed, gone into synaptic and installed a bunch of gstreamer stuff, downloaded and compiled the latest version of soundconverter but whatever I do, the following happens:
1. open soundconverter
2. open file (wav)
3. set to convert to mp3 (default)
4. Click convert and instantly get the ever so helpful "general stream error" message!
I have a .swf file that I was going to play, but when I try to open it, totem (which apparently is my .swf program) says "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error." Now since I know a little bit about linux, I opened up a terminal and redirected the stderr and stdout to a file called "error". Then I read the file and it said:
** Message: Error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error.
gstffmpegdemux.c(1243): gst_ffmpegdemux_open (): /GstPlayBin2lay/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/ffdemux_swf:ffdemux_swf0:
Input/output error
So then I interpreted that as meaning that there was a library called "gstffmpegdemux.c" that needed replacing. So I tried using synaptic to replace. Then Synaptic wouldn't let me get the package, Though I could see it existed (I would put up a screenshot, but for some reason it won't let me upload) then I tried aptitude, which claims it doesn't exist, and then apt-get which also claims that it doesn't exist.
Recently I bought a Toshiba NB100 from a family friend. All was going well until I installed some updates and now when I try to unmute my speakers I get this error message pop up.....
"No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
Hello. I use dvd::rip 0.98.10 to create .wav sound files from DVDs and then play them in Totem Movie Player 2.28.2 (using GStreamer 0.10.25) mainly because I like the visualizations. It always used to work, but a recent batch will not play. I get: GStreamer encountered a general stream error. I probably used a more recent version of dvd::rip for the ones which don't play. Both MPlayer and VLC Media player plays them without a problem and older rips play fine in Totem too. The Audio/Video properties of a 'faulty' file (as shown in Nautilus) are greyed out for codec, channels etc., whereas a 'good' file shows Audio properties as Uncompressed 16-bit PCM audio etc., but running soxi on a good or bad file gives the same (good) results. I'd like to get this working, without doing anything to the .wavs preferably, so I guess I need to do something to Gstreamer, but I'm really not sure how to proceed. I'm using Linux Mint 8 64bit (rt kernel) and very nice it is too.

I do a lot of programming and I have to compile the code quite often. It's not convenient to move to the directory that contains the source code every time I want to compile it. So is there a way to compile a code from the my current directory (say /home example) without moving to the directory that contains the source. I remember being able to do this but forgotten how.
EDIT: I'm using makefiles to compile. Lets say I'm in the home directory and when I type
make -f /code/make_file
this doesn't seem to work
