OpenSUSE Wireless :: Stream Media To Xbox 360?

Dec 17, 2009

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, and I'm not even sure I'm in the right thread,*ahem* I am trying to stream media (or at least music) from my openSUSE 11.2 library, either from Amarok or a specialized program. The problem is, I only have one computer and it's upstairs, the Xbox is in the basement. So, it needs to be wireless. Not sure where I saw it, but there was a guide for doing it with Ubuntu, a spare computer, and an Ethernet cable. As you can see, however, there are 3 fatal flaws to this method in my case.

I used to use TwonkyMedia Server, but that was a trial, and I refuse to pay for any service that should be as simple as Pie (no, not Pi. That's not quite as simple).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Stream Music And Videos To Xbox 360 From 10.10 - Ushare Works ... But No Media

Feb 12, 2011

I am trying to stream my music and videos to my xbox 360 from ubuntu 10.10, and I have set up ushare to do that. Ushare seems to be workign correctly, it starts up and the xbox recognises the share from the media menu, but there is no videos or music! For some reason ushare doesnt find any media in the folders I specified, and I double checked and the paths look correct to me. This is the error I get in the terminal:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: UShare Setup To Stream Videos To Xbox 360

Feb 27, 2011

Is there anyone else out there who uses UShare? I'm trying to set it up so I can stream videos from Ubuntu to my Xbox 360. I got it set up however it spews out this:

Code:
uShare (version 1.1a), a lightweight UPnP A/V and DLNA Media Server.
Benjamin Zores (C) 2005-2007, for GeeXboX Team.
See [URL] for updates.
Initializing UPnP subsystem ...
Starting in XboX 360 compliant profile ...
UPnP MediaServer listening on 192.168.2.3:49224
Sending UPnP advertisement for device ...
Listening for control point connections ...
Building Metadata List ...
Looking for files in content directory : /home/james/videos
scandir: No such file or directory
Found 1 files and subdirectories.

As you can see it's saying no such file or directory but at the same time telling me it did find the one file in the directory. How to fix this or any other software will allow me to achieve streaming to 360? Because this software seems extremely buggy.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Use Xbox 360 For A Smooth Media Center Experience?

Oct 11, 2010

I've been looking around for the past week, but I have yet to find anything yet that provides a media center solution using Ubuntu + Xbox 360, comparable to Windows 7 + Xbox 360.

I want to drop Windows 7 completely on my media PC, and just use Ubuntu (or Linux Mint). I've tried ushare, XBMC, Moovida, and a few other apps. Either they don't support sharing, or it's difficult to configure, or it is a cheap looking solution.

Is there no way to use my Xbox 360 for a smooth media center experience, similar to how it functions as a Media Center Extender for Win7, while replacing Win7 w/ Ubuntu?

I'm even open to commercial Linux solutions, I'm just hoping to be able to drop Win7 if possible..

General :: Sufficient Hardware And Methods To Stream Media In LAN?

Jul 22, 2010

Recently, my fraternity decided to use our LAN to stream media to our various bars, lounges and ballroom. Some of our playback devices, including an iPhone and a laptop, broke during a party, which is why we decided to have portable devices replaced with sturdy, interchangable and fixed hardware.

As this is going to cost some money and effort, we had better make a fully thought-through plan, which I am in charge of. Still, having never organized a project of any measurable magnitude, I would rather have this plan commented on here.

So far, I am planning to buy one central PC (2GHz, 512 MB RAM) acting as a server, and four identical PCs (1GHz, 256 MB RAM) acting as clients. The former would a) provide local files, stored an an external encrypted hard drive, and b) act as a NFS and SMB client to private systems in the same LAN to incorporate (and forward) data stored on those (as to provide one central point to change the configuration for their use). Futhermore, it would host /etc, /usr and /home of the individual clients to provide that at all times, the same software and drivers are used on all of them. The clients then would mount /etc, /usr and /home from the server, alongside with the both the directories on its external HDD and the ones it had itself mounted from other PCs. Each of them would have to be able to play back music, video files and terrestrial TV from a USB stick, with at most two of them doing so at a time.

Is this a realistic scenario? I so, would you have any recommendations for changes and could you point out pitfalls? The whole lot would have to be rather secure, as usually, there are lots of people coming and going, and we don't want our private data corrupted. If not, where did I go wrong? How would you yourself build a system like that?

And last, what software would you use? Is there a window manager which would be able to act solely as a means to display the three icons needed for TV, video, and music, and make it impossible to tamper with the system? And what programs would you use for playback to ensure maximum performance?

P.S.: Not that I'd suspect so, but is there a german lawyer present? Provided the individual files we play are in our legal posession, this is a legal scenario, isn't it? There would only be friends and other frats present at any public display.

CentOS 5 :: Server To Stream Media Over Local Network

Jun 14, 2010

I'm using CentOS 5.5 as a media server to stream media content over my local network. Currently i'm having problem while installing last.fm scrobbler.

Here is a sample output:
yum localinstall xmms-scrobbler-0.4.0-7.fc11.i586.rpm
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Setting up Local Package Process
Examining xmms-scrobbler-0.4.0-7.fc11.i586.rpm: xmms-scrobbler-0.4.0-7.fc11.i586
Marking xmms-scrobbler-0.4.0-7.fc11.i586.rpm to be installed
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile .....

The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
Upon searching my hard disk this is what i get:
find / -mount -name libcurl*
/usr/share/man/man3/libcurl-easy.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/libcurl-tutorial.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/libcurl-share.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/libcurl-errors.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/libcurl-multi.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/libcurl.3.gz
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3
/usr/lib/libcurl.a
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3.0.0
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc
/usr/lib/libcurl.so

So it tells me that I need libcurl.so.4, but I couldn't find any suitable rpm binaries for it. The only rpm that i found was for Suse and Mandrake. How to set this up, so that i can get a fully functional media server.

General :: Setup Media Server To Stream Video Via The Internet?

Nov 27, 2010

setup a media server in Linux which streams video over the internet? Is it easy to do this? I want a server that will actually encode video in real time to allow it to stream over sometimes slow or unreliable networks. Basically, I want a server that works on the internet. I have a directory with a bunch of video files, and want to make this accessible to myself remotely. For other situations, I found great and useful software (such as the PS3 media server). I'd like to find something equally as useful for streaming video over the internet.

General :: Windows 7 - Properly Stream Media From Torrent Box *without* Transcoding?

Jan 29, 2011

I have a torrentbox. The special thing about this torrent box is that it's custom built, it has Windows 7 installed and I have full control over it using TightVNC. At the moment I'm using uTorrent WebUI and FTP do download the files. But I'm thinking - When I download a 1,5 hour long video in 30 minutes, wouldn't it be theoretically possible to just WATCH the movie directly from the torrentbox? Obviously this can't be dont using FTP since it makes you download the entire file, BUT:

Is there some other way to fool your OS into thinking that this is a local folder, and get media players like VLC or GOM player to play video files directly? This would be a monumental time- and space saver for me.(I have both Windows and Linux Mint on my PCs)

Ubuntu :: Xbox 360 Downloads From Xbox Live?

I were to download a demo from [URL] would it save the demo to my laptop and then I could transfer it to my Xbox via Ethernet cable, even though my laptop has Ubuntu on it or does it have to be Windows computer?

I ask, b/c either way it is just a file on my laptop, regardless of the OS.

So, what does the community think?

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless DHCP ICS With Xbox 360 :S

Jan 13, 2010

Alright, I'm running Ubuntu KK 9.10 and I've probably read every ICS tutorial on ubuntuforums. I'm running wireless internet via a Linksys router and have a LAN card in my system as well.

(lshw -c network)

Code:

I tried the easy route with 9.10 (setting my wireless to DHCP and LAN to share connection) and although Ubuntu recognizes the Xbox when its turned on (I get a nice notification saying my wired connection is active) the Xbox gets no internet, and doesn't even recognize the connection. (when I tested the connection it failed before it even hit network...)

Hardware :: Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver - Crossfire - For Windows

Sep 14, 2010

My 5 year old daughter is having a great time singing to the karaoke game I've put onto my Ubuntu HTPC system. However the USB microphone is having a hard time!

I was wondering if it would be possible to use an "Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver (Crossfire) For Windows" in Ubuntu with the cordless mic I already have for my Xbox 360? I guess it'll be a driver issue as always. However, I also note that MS don't mention the receiver works specifically with the microphone, they only mention the control pad and steering wheel, so I could be going down a blind alley anyway.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: My Xbox 360 Controller Controls The Mouse - The Cursor Moves All Around The Screen?

May 27, 2009

I am using a wireless Xbox 360 controller with openSUSE 11.1. I use it for some emulators and all buttons work fine. There is however an annoying problem, the Xbox controller left joystick controls the cursor and digital pad acts as mouse buttons. So while I play, the cursor moves all around the screen and bad things could happen. Why this behavior? In xorg.conf there seems to be only just 1 mouse. And if I go in Joystick via YaST, there is only a menu to select which joystick I have. But my wireless controller has been automatically detected, I didn't setup anything. Is there a config file that I can modify to stop controlling the mouse with my gamepad?

OpenSUSE :: Capture Audio Stream In VLC

This plays fine in VLC, and there's a "Record" button there but I'm never prompted to save the recording anywhere. I wandered through preferences but didn't see any default capture directory fields.Where/how do I capture the stream for playback later? The docs that I've stumbled across so far are pretty outdated (but I'm still googling).

OpenSUSE :: Stream Stops In Vlc / Get It To Work?

May 23, 2011

Under 11.3 32bit I could play my favorite station with vlc, but not with any other audio player. Under 11.4 32bit it stops playing after about a minute without any error reporting. Sometimes it starts up again, speeded up, then stops. Here's how I invoke it from the command line...

"vlc http://www.garnierstreamingmedia.com/asx/streamerswitch.asp?stream=205"

No other audio player works with it now and only vlc worked before. It's not my Internet connection because other stations play normally.

I've tried adding variation this to mimetypes.rdf:

But it always start downloading.

I can alter the NC:alwaysAsk parameter so I see it is being used.

All I want is a one click streamer, maybe I must use the mplayer plugin?. I just find it strange I cant just pipe the data direcly to vlc.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Redirect Sound To Network Stream

Dec 6, 2010

I'd like to take any audio that would normally come out of my laptop's speakers or headphones and have it come out of my TV's speakers without using any wires or hardware that I don't already have. My TV is connected to my LAN via a Roku box, which has an SDK that I can use to write my own channel to handle the audio stream coming over the network and output it to the TV.

What I don't know how to do is capture the audio destined for my sound card. Is there an easier way than writing my own driver that pretends to be a sound card driver but really takes the sound data and streams it over the network?I'm not looking for anyone to do the work for me, just some help pointing me in the right direction.

Ubuntu Networking :: Disable Media Sensing On Wireless?

I am doing some experiments comparing the performance of wireless under 3 different cases:

(i) without media sensing (carrier sensing).
(ii) with media sensing but no RTS/CTS
(iii) with media sensing and RTS/CTS

I know RTS/CTS can be controlled by iwconfig interface rts {N|auto|fixed|off}

However, what about media sensing? Can it be disabled? If yes, how?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Stream Audio From Phone Over Bluetooth To Computer

Dec 11, 2010

I'm using it on a small IBM machine in my closed ( ) which is my multimedia center, file sharing, router, http server & others. To escape the cable paradox, lately I came up with an idea to stream music from my mobile phone (LG GD880) via bluetooth to my SUSE box (which has it's audio output linked to my HIFI Sound system). This means pairing the devices and of course set the SUSE box as reciever. I found how to accomplish this here and here .

The problem: While trying to complete the above tutorial(s), I found that in /etc/bluetooth there is no ' audio.conf ' file, only ' main.conf '. If I insert the option: Enable=Source in main.conf, it has no effect what so ever. This means that org.bluez.AudioSource will not show up in D-Feet, thus I cannot take the next steps. What can I do? Is there another way to accomplish the audio streaming?
