Ubuntu Multimedia :: XBox Not Displaying Albums Correctly From Fuppes

Jan 3, 2010

I've been through the forums, and can't seem to find the answers. Thanks to EVERYONE who has posted fuppes related advice though, you've filled my last 3 days with so much fun! I'm a complete newbie with linux. I had a half hearted fiddle about 6 years ago, but nothing since. But I've decided I want rid of the horror that is Windows, and stumbled upon Ubuntu. Installled it last week. First priority, videos and music to the XBox (can't lose Microsoft!). I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.

So, after much, much, much reinstalling and playing with config files, I now have Fuppes streaming to my XBox. I can stream both audio and video, and I'm even happy with the folder structure in the Video section too! (Eventually! ).

1) When rebuilding the database, I get:

Code:

TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.
TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() -- Invalid sample rate.
TagLib: MPEG::Properties::read() -- Page headers were invalid.
Segmentation fault

The line before is repeated lots and lots of times before it gives up. However, it still seems to have created the database, because all I then have to do is start Fuppes up and rebuild the folder structure and it works.

2) I spent ages trawling through the forums to get this far, and I did get music sorted by artist, album, etc. However, when sorted by album, each album shows lots of times. Is there a way to stop this? I only want each album to show once. Seems to mainly affect compilation albums with multiple artists.

For anyone who hasn't got as far as me, persist! You'll get there eventually. I'll attach my fuppes.cfg and vfolder.cfg. I am using version 0.660, and used a mixture of advice from all the tutorials to get here. Use this guide:[URL] but later on in that guide in someone's reply, there's a link to the new version.

I also had to install some additional packages (this was guess work...using Synaptic Package Manager), to ensure that during the ./configure, the Taglib and mpeg4ip/mp4v2 are both enabled, otherwise you have no hope of your XBox sorting your music. if you edit your config files in the fuppes directory, open a terminal and run the following to put them in the place fuppes actually looks for them!:

Code:

sudo cp fuppes/fuppes.cfg .fuppes
sudo cp fuppes/vfolder.cfg .fuppes

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Removing Fuppes From 9.1?

Mar 4, 2010

I know the basics and have read the Ubuntu Pocket Guide several times and reference it a lot still. I went to the trouble of installing Fuppes onto my system (Ubuntu Server 9.1) and after configuring it and playing around with it I did not get the results I wanted. I soon after found PS3 Media Server which did almost everything I wanted to instantly with no configuration.

But what to do with the fuppes install? I did the following

Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove fuppes
Just for arguement sakes I attempted to run

Ubuntu :: Wallpaper Not Displaying Correctly?

Jan 14, 2011

I don't exactly know how to describe the problem, that's why I included a screenshot of the desktop wallpaper. You can see a small copy of the desktop image on the left corner and the whole desktop with the same image. I changed the desktop and the same thing happened.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: X Window Not Displaying Correctly?

Feb 28, 2009

I am running Cent0S 5.2 and am trying to get the gui running from startx at the console. When it loads half the screen is scrambled and I can see parts of the desk top. it looks like a video driver issue. I ran system-config-display --reconfig --set-depth=16 --set-resolution=1024x768 and then tried system-config-display --reconfig --set-depth=16 --set-resolution=800x600. It came out a little better but still half scrambled.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: MP3 Tag Editor - Can't Que Albums Up

Nov 22, 2010

What I am trying to do: I have a lot of 2 or 3 CD compilation sets. I like to re do the track numbers to 101/102/103/104 etc for CD1, 201/202/203 etc for CD2, 301/302/303/etc for CD3. I then give them all the same album name. This then means I can listen to all 3 CDs on a journey non stop with out having to take my MP3 player out my coat to change it. Otherwise my MP3 player sees each CD as a different album and I can't que albums up on it - or if I just rename the album to the same on all 3 in the tags it plays track 1 from cd 1, then track 1 from cd 2, and so on. In MP3tag I would just select the tracks, go to the auto numbering wizard, and tell it to start at 101 (or 201 or 301 depending on the CD number).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: If It Detects The Same Name For The Song, Even Though They Are On Different Albums, It Says That Have To Either Replace The File?

Normally in my music collection, I have some songs that are the same song, just in a different album. When transferring files onto my MP3 player, if it detects the same name for the song, even though they are on different albums, it says that I have to either replace the file, retry, or cancel.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: MP3 Devices And Software \ Change The Mix Of Albums On My Device?

Jul 20, 2010

I've been playing with Ubuntu for a few years, and it runs great on said notebook, so I' m starting to ween myself from Windows.Biggest consideration for switch is music. I currently have an iPod touch 16. Been using itunes for a long time.I'm not married to the device or the software, and will rebuild my music library if needed (it's a pig of a mess anyway).I'm curious which mp3 device you are using and what linux software you are using it with for great results. I want a high end player iwth 16+ gig, and a music manager to keep a 10000+ file library organized. I frequently want to change the mix of albums on my device. I'm fine with buying music elsewhere from Apple. Prefer it actually - Amazon is a good choice.Should I keep hte iPod? Trade it for a Zune or something else? Sound quality is very important to me. As is wireless access/browsing, storage space, battery life, etc

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Rhythmbox Won't Play First Track Of Several .mp3 Albums / Sort It?

Aug 26, 2010

I've been experiencing an odd issue since I upgraded my main desktop to Lucid - namely, that the first track on several albums doesn't appear in the Rhythmbox library. The rest of the album will show up and play just fine. I installed Exaile to see if it was just a Rhythmbox bug, and the tracks appear in the library, but will not play (it just skips through the whole track, as it would if the MP3 codec isn't installed or configured correctly). Did a clean install of Lucid yesterday, which was also of no help.

The files are all .mp3, non-VBR encoding (320kbps, IIRC...not that it should really matter). They are stored in an NTFS partition I use to share data between Windows XP and my Linux installs.

Funny thing is, the tracks show up and play just fine in XP and on OpenSuse 11.3 (KDE version). It also works fine on my laptop, which is also dual-booting XP and Lucid, with the tunes stored on the Windows partition.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: UShare On 11.04, Won't Link To Xbox?

Jan 9, 2011

I have been using uShare for a few years now, and up until now it has worked great. A few snags here and there, but nothing I couldn't figure out, although after five years using Ubuntu, i still consider myself a noob. Now I am on a new machine, running Ubuntu 11.04 (my last one was running 9.04) and I am having trouble with uShare again. Its installed, configured, and runs just fine, but my xbox won't recognize it.Here's the catch: the first night I set it up, after a few errors, I got it working! Watched a movie, smiled, and went to bed. Woke up the next morning, booted up the comp, fired up ushare and BAM! Nothing. I hadn't changed any settings, moved any cables, downloaded anything new, but no dice. After a little searching, I updated the .conf file to reflect a change I noticed in the IFACE. Sometimes when I boot my computer, it connects to the router on eth0, sometimes on eth1, and sometimes on eth0-eth1. I'm not sure what is up with that, but that may be a problem for another day. For right now, I just want uShare to work.

ushare.conf
# /etc/ushare.conf
# Edit this file with 'dpkg-reconfigure ushare'

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Convert To .avi To Play On Xbox 360?

Jun 11, 2011

I have some videos in .mkv that I need to convert to .avi to play on my Xbox 360. I started out trying ffmpeg, but ran into some errors. I tried some of the GUI options available, but they didn't work for me either and I prefer command line anyway. So I'm back to trying to get ffmpeg to work. I started off with:

Code:
ffmpeg -i movie.mkv movie.avi This gives me the Error while opening codec etc etc due to not specifying enough parameters. So if I try something like:
Code:
ffmpeg -i movie.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy movie.avi
I get "av_interleaved_writeframe(): Error while opening file" error

[Code]...

So at this point I have an idea how to make it work, but am lacking some info. I figure if I try to go from .mkv to .avi while giving it the correct codec options -vcodec and -acodec it will know what to do and give me a workable result. The problem is I don't know what those codecs are. Is there another way for me to work this?

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..

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 :: Correct Resolution Not Displaying Anymore

Feb 25, 2010

I installed ubuntu onto a desktop computer about a month ago. Everything was working well straight away, I had it outputted onto my TV (32 inch Hi Def Sharpe Aquos). The Graphics card is an NVidia Ge Force FX 5600. On installation and after a restart the computer detected the TV and actually gave the name of the TV in the settings automatically, in the system --> Administration Menu there is a programme that sets the resolution and settings for the NVidia card. This all sorted itself automatically and displayed in 1360 x 768 which was perfect on my TV. For some reason when I turned it on this morning it will only display in 640 x 480 or 320 x 240. xrandr only gives minimum of 320 x 240 and maximum as 640 x 480. How to rectify this?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Screen Crashing And Displaying Funky Colors?

Jan 1, 2011

For the past month or so I have been having some issues with screen crashing and displaying funky colors. Basically it happens at completely random times, doing completely random things. The screen goes to a pink color then freezes the the only way I can gain control again is if I restart the machine or restart gdm via ssh. This is really puzzling me. Perhaps there are some logs I can look at? A little bit about my system:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Files On Video Camera Stopped Displaying On Computer

Nov 12, 2010

We've bought a cheap video camera for our son to make a movie. Files are stored on a 16Gb SD disk. When we first used it a week ago I was able to connect the camera via USB and copy the files to my laptop. Today I went to clear some more files to make room for shooting the movie and nothing shows up when the camera is attached to the laptop. I can view the files on the camera so they do exist.

I have tried:Using different usb ports Using a different computer Using an SD Card Reader on both computers Investigating permissions via terminal (the camera seems to be set to RWX Checking that no one has played with the settings on the camera Nothing has changed on the camera or the laptop as far as I can see and yet the files are not showing up.

Camera Model: HD-C2 2.7" LCD 12MP
