Ubuntu Servers :: Mediatomb - Attempting To Stream To Noontec V6 Moviehome
Sep 1, 2011
Have installed Mediatomb to stream an .mkv file to a Noontec V6 Moviehome. I can stream movies of the correct filetype to the Noontec already but the manual says with a transcode server it will accept .mkv. The more I looked into it the more I realised why.
Not much idea what I'm doing so a guide would be good. I can ping everything. I can see the computer and stream files from it via the Noontec but how do I mount the Mediatomb server, see that on the Noontec, and stream files from there (mounted on the Mediatomb server I assume)?? All this transcoded on the fly from the Mediatomb server on mylaptop to the Noontec.
ps: I have tweaked with the config.xml file, bit lost there, and feel I might have done more harm than good ...
i have a Ubuntu 8.04 Server, with Media Tomb installed for streaming to the PS3. Works fine, its just a little buggy and you cant really customize it. For instance the web interface looks feels and works like it was made 10 years ago, and it dousn't give any feedback of directroys being scanned, so you have no idea what's being scanned and what's isn't!. Is there another WEB gui for managing MediaTomb? or is there another way to steam to the PS3? i have Webmin installed if theres set-up methods through that.
i've looked at serveral post all over the net but still can't get subtitles (.str files) to bind with the stream on mediatomb.
Mediatomb works fine with out the subtitle transcoding profile, but when added and mediatomb is restarted using sudo /etc/init.d/mediatomb restart I get the response "Fail" and Mediatomb will not start. If I change <transcoding enabled="yes"> to "no" then mediatomb works fine
Below is my config.xml

all the tutorials i found for ushare and mediatomb shows it installed on desktop and not server. it also requires an account to be logged in. once logged it, you have to run a command to start it up. some questions.
1) is there a way to run either one w/o having to log into an account? so if say i restarted the server, it'll run the programs w/o me having to log in.
2) i would like to specify a directory to share music and movies. is one better than the other? clients that i plan to use are songbird, itunes (maybe), and vlc - maybe xbox 360 and ps3. other client suggestions?
3) other dlna server suggestions? this will be running on ubuntu 10 or 11 desktop or server. but the main thing i'm looking for is what i mentioned in #1.
LAN with two desktops and laptop. Using SSH they can all see each other and share files fine.
Recently bought a Noontec Media player. It can see the three computers okay and grab files from them (or just play them over the network) but the Noontec drive is not visible from any of the three machines on the LAN.
I've bumbled around a lot but not getting anywhere and it's getting late so thought I'd try my luck here. I can ping it!!! Just doesn't appear on the network. Weird.
When I go Places->Connect to Server, I put in the IP and I can get to a password GUI but the manual and nowhere on the net mentions what that password is. What I do know is the media player is supposed to work with Samba and all is set up fine for that, both the computers appear there fine, just not the Noontec.
messages appear in syslog each day. Each URL has from 2 - 6 attempts at various ipv6 addresses. My question is why is bind9 trying to resolve ipv6 addresses? I have done nothing to enable or disable ipv6 and thought that if not explicitly enabled I would not have to be concerned with it.
I've been trying to get my server running 9.10 to stream video over http through VLC [URL], but am using port 8080 for tomcat. Is there any other way to stream or change the port that VLC uses?
I've been attempting to figure this out for about 4 days straight, so far it has not been fruitful. I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 server onto my former gaming system, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 2 cores with 2 GB ram. Overkill I'm sure, especially for a simple personal voip, htpc, storage server.
The problem is only noticeable when I have the vent server running, on the 10.04 server, and I attempt to connect to it through the LAN via the client on my windows computerEverything works fine and connects, LAN and from the outside, as long as the server is set to DHCP. However when attempting to switch to a static IP address, the vent client will not detect the vent server at all.Aside from an annoyance at having to stick with DHCP, I am still curious as to why the static settings will not function. Something so simple has turned into something quite difficult.
I can still connect to the Webmin interface and Putty into server with either DHCP or static IP enabled.I've performed the following troubleshooting steps so far:1) Followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverg...iguration.html2) Edited the /etc/network/interfaces file through the CLI with nano and through notepad on the windows computer3) Through Webmin I've assigned the static IP, although for some reason it does not include a gateway field.4) I've rebooted the server5) I've issued the CLI
Code: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Here is the file /etc/network/interfaces:
I have a problem with phar: simply, stream wrappers doens't work. I've followed all tutorials on php.net but the error is always the same. Maybe something wrong on my ubuntu server?

This is what im trying to do with the NAS, i would like it to stream movies 720 and 1080 to my Samsungs tvs, this may require trans coding(i think that the word), storage wise i would like to start with 2 2tb hardrives(The energy ones), i don't know if i need a raid(5) card for what i need if so, whats a good one ?
I would like to save as much power as possible.
Motherboard ? CPU = maybe an I3 RAM = 2g DDR3 Power-supply = ? OS = FreeNas
Also i have read a lot of places were you can do a automatic bit-torrent clients to downloads show and unrar them for you and maybe organize them in to separate folder, but my question is can i do this with megashare and Hotfile (premium) links ?
First let me preface this with saying that I have been googling, and trolling boards trying to find a solution, tutorials, any thing to help me what I am trying to do, all day (since 8 am, when I started work, till now 3:50 pm) and I have found little to improve my situation.My goal is to setup my desktop (running Fedora core 12) as a server that can be accessed from anywhere. I would like to be able to have streaming music (find a song, or an album, you want to listen to, click and play) from any location, any computer, and I would also like to store files and such that I could also share with whomever I give permission. I have found plenty of tutorials helping with Apache and SSH, so anything along those lines would be nice.
It seems I might be having an issue that's a non-issue. I am not able to stream/ connect to a stream using vlc.I've looked at a few walk-throughs; I follow the steps and as often as not I get no error messages but cannot connect to a stream.
Question 1: whenever I boot the Linux machine I recently put together I see "ok" on all the startup items except Mediatomb. It always reads: "Starting upnp media server mediatomb [fail]."So I run it myself via sudo /etc/init.d/mediatomb startIn the mediatomb default file NO_START is set to "no," hence why it tries. But why does it fail? The guide I followed to install it intended for it to run at startup, but it just fails.Question 2: When I manually start mediatomb, and I later access it on another machine via the browser, it's all good. But on the monitor of the linux machine the command line goes bye-bye. It's just a cursor, and commands don't execute. Is there a keyboard combo like ctrl+alt+f-something that brings it back?
I had this setup and working before with some help, so I know it is possible.I want to use Mediatomb to transcode a Shoutcast NSV stream on the fly so I can watch it on my Playstation. I know I can use both mencoder/mplayer and VLC for the transcoding.I am running Ubuntu server 9.04 with the latest Mediatomb from the repo.
Thanks to a previous post by a member here I got mediatomb up and running. However when I attempt to add my (username) file to the directory to access from my phone I get the "permissions denied" prompt. Is there any way to allow access for MediaTomb so I can access my files?
I am very new to Ubuntu or any Linux for that matter. I am tring to get Mediatomb to work on my system. I have installed the packages and mediatomb appears to be running fine. The problem is that I have an external hard drive that I want my files to be kept on. When I try to add the folders on the external I get the following error:Error: Could not list directory /media/TeraByte : Permission Denied.TeraByte is the name of the volume, I have created shared folders on the Volume, but I can't seem to get anywhere with this
I know this has been talked about a lot but im not quite understanding how to handle it. I have mediatomb i turn my ps3 on search for server pick it up I can play all of my .avi files fine but when i go into audio > All audio it just says there are no titles so that the mp3 files show up and i can play them. And as well why does mediatomb not work when the terminal is not open. I open terminal type mediatomb then when i close it says disconnected from media server.
I have been using media tomb for a long time now to stream HD movies to the PS3 , its worked perfectly....until now . I use MKV2VOB so the PS3 can play the video and so mediatomb has no transcoding to do. But now when i add the video to the media tomb database the PS3 finds the server, can search through all the folders but when i arrive at the place where the movie should be it says there are no videos. I have been looking about and trying to see what the problem could be. I have checked that <protocolInfo extend="yes"/> is added to the server config file and thats about all i can find on the problem. The thing i don't understand is that i have changed nothing, and that the server must be running as i can search the folders etc.
I have installed Mediatomb on my ubuntu server as instructed. I can use the Webinterface and so on, but i cant find ther mediatomb server from my Samsung TV.
I have run into this problem that really bugs me now.
I have installed mediatomb on my Ubuntu box, and it has been working fine for a while now.
This morning I installed 'Gnome subtitles', and had to wrestle a bit with is to make i work (gstreamer-stuff).
Now all of a sudden, my good old mediatomb has begun to seg-fault on importing new videos.
I have tried the following:
run ffmpeg -i -> no errors run ffmpegthumbnail -> no errors disable all transcoding in config.xml -> no fun disable thumbnails in config.xml -> no fun switch to mysql DB - tables are created all right, but still -> no fun
I have taken much time and effort to get Mediatomb working on my new machine running Maverick Server, with GUI. Those of you who run Mediatomb know that it's pretty convoluted to get everything "just right".I have located the three Mediatomb packages in Synaptec and marked them as "lock version" in the hope that they will not be up(side)graded to a slightly different version of Mediatomb, which does not have Javascript enabled however, update manager still insists on trying to make the change to the other version .
I've followed the instruction on this site. But I'm not able to play videos with subtitles on my LG TV. Transcoding is working (I tried the command in terminal) and I can see transcoded video in the list of videos on my TV. When I try to play the video, it shows error "Not supported format"
I have a problem with mediatomb. I installed it from official ubuntu repo and when someone is trying to get some audio files via UPnP there are visible only namefiles istead of title from tags. It strange because MediaTomb provides album covers from tags, but no album, genre or title. How do I configure that ? MediaTomb from repo has taglib support but no id3lib.
I streamed video through a my computer with mediatomb yesterday. The problem is that now, I got these huge log files. I am running out of memory (less than 1 gb left) as we speak. They're filled with ufw entries, but my question is:
I read somewhere about a program called logrotate that were supposed to keep logs from getting to big, is this wrong and should mediatomb generate 3 separate log files with 5gb of data each for just 2 hours of streaming?
I have moved from a raspberry pi to an olimex LIME A20. I have managed to get everything working correctly except mediatomb. I have a USB drive attached, I believe that mediatomb is trying to read the drive before it's mounted leaving me with an empty database.
After boot I can create the mediatomb database which works until I reboot the computer. What can I try to delay the mediatomb services start?
I have been running mediatomb for a short while, mainly to play my CD collection on the internet radio. The served is a x86_64 running OpenSuSE 11.1On jan 4 it ceased to work; the /usr/bin.mediatomb file vanished, and eversince I have been unable to get it going. i am using sqlite version.Anyone else got this proble? And even more importantly, how do i get the thing working again? I seem t have lost the db as well and it is not regenerating either
I've installed mediatomb (latest version) on Gentoo Linux and am streaming my music to a Denon wifi dock. Works a treat except that when I put iTunes .m4a files into the database they are all inserted into an "/unknown" folder without the album name being displayed. If I change the properties of the "unknown" folder and change the name, then all future additions to the library go into that folder.I can work around this by exporting the files as .mp3 but that seems to be a rather cumbersome way of doing it. Ideally I'd like to be able to just put my iTunes library on a network share that is used for the MediaTomb database.
I have a Ubuntu plug server which I have been using with Samba and Mediatomb and two External USB drives.
I had it working about a year ago and then moved house and set it up again recently.
I had it working till yesterday when one of my children cut the power to one of the hard drives.
Since this I cannot get the system to recognise the drive that was unplugged. I have rebooted, powered down but cannot find the second rive.
When I setup my system again recently the system didn't work so I had to make some changes, I made two directories /dev/media2 and /dev/media3 where I mounted the two drives (sdb1 and sdb2). The system seemed to work fine with both mediatomb and samba.
After the forced powerdown;
/dev/media2 and 3 now seem to have disappeared and the 'working' hard disk is now recognised as sda1 and mounted on /media/external which is how it was before recent changes.
It seems something is taking the system back to previous state.
