I downloaded AriVideo app for iPad, but it does not support mp3 files. I thought they would be converted on the fly?

I think perhaps you might need to check the Airvideo web site for what the application supports.  Also if you have specific questions about AirVideo, they have their own support forum here:

http://www.inmethod.com/forum/forums/list.page

 

Others here may be able to advise, but this thread is more about providing support for the plugin for Unraid that installs and configures Airvideo than for Airvideo itself.

I apologize for posting questions in wrong place. FYI mp3 is not supported. But regardless of that, thank you for great plugin :)

Hello ALl,

 

Seeing something weird, and Im sure im over looking something....I removed the "old" Airvideo Plugin I had on here, and also deleted the AirVideo folder in /config/plugins and also on my cache/appdata drive

 

I restarted, allowed plugin to install, went to settings page and filled in all the sections

 

Port, data directory, password, Movie Location etc....just as the settings were in the old setup.  I click ENABLE, and APPLY

 

THe page turns white, and I come back to the same page, with all the fields blank...and it still says NOT RUNNING....

 

I click INSTALL..nothing...Ive done every which combo, and nothing is happening.....I dont see any folders being created on my cache drive or flash drive....

 

This is also happening on the dropbox plugin...i fill the fields out, click APPLY, same thing above happens..

 

What am I forgetting???

Unusual. Especially as you say it's happening with airvideo and dropbox plugins.  It sounds like you did everything correct in so much as to remove the old plugin including the old plugin sub-dir (/boot/config/plugins/airvideo).

 

Couple bits of info which might give you some clues as to where to look; if ever the plugin webgui fields are blank, it probably means it's not able to read the data from the config file.  eg. for Airvideo the plugin will store its config values in /boot/config/plugins/airvideo/airvideo.cfg.  Does that file exist?  If so, open in a text editor and see what values are in there.  These should be passed through to the webgui page.  Likewise, when you make a change in the webgui and hit apply, this file should be updated.

 

If you're happy at command line, perhaps try and see what's happening under the hood.  Suggest start with a fresh install, so once more delete /boot/config/plugins/airvideo and also any previous install directory.  Reboot or if you can't then run installplg /path/to/plugin.  Go to the webgui, set the config as you want it.  Leave disabled.  Apply.  Check the config file mentioned above, verify your settings are correct.  If that looks ok, try to enable airvideo from command line;

/etc/rc.d/rc.airvideo buttonstart

that should;

 

1) realise your chosen install location is not yet created,

2) create install dir and copy 'AirVideoServerLinux.jar' from plugins dir to your chosen install location,

3) create file 'air-video-server.properties' at your install location which pretty much contains all the same data as in the airvideo.cfg file.

4) finally start the application.

 

Sorry I can't advise on an exact fix, but perhaps the steps above will shed some light.

I have two TV Series locations "TV Series" and "TV Series (DVD Order)".  I would like to combine those into one location called "TV Series".  Is that possible?

Seems like a step is missing in the installation instructions. I've tried several of your plugins and they all fail when trying to download from a dropbox location.

Gonna need more info than that I'm afraid.  Can you elaborate on what fails?  Currently on vacation so not much chance to help. Please expand on what is failing with this and other plugins from me and I'll follow up when I can.

Supported by 5.0?

  • 2 weeks later...

Hello there,

 

I'm new to unRAID... I'm using version 5.0 with the latest GUI.

 

I could not get the AirVideo plugin to work! :(

 

I installed the plugin (using Control Panel), and it seems to be working. I can access the //hostname:45631 and get the response "Air Video". Same on my iPhone and iPad.

 

But the AirVideo HD app could not find the unRaid server at all. It keeps the "No Connections found" message.

If I try to add a connection manually, it get an SSL error and says that the secure connection to the server could not be made.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks a lot!

Try Plex. It's better plus you get an awesome jukebox rather than just a list of movies.

AirVideo HD is not compatible with the version of Airvideo server installed via this plugin.  There is no Linux version of the software that supports the newer Airvideo HD app.

Try Plex. It's better plus you get an awesome jukebox rather than just a list of movies.

 

Plex works with the AirVideo HD app from iPhone/iPad?

 

Thanks

Dammit! I just bought it from iTunes!  :o

What's the name of the compatible app? It's the old AirVideo?

 

Thanks!

Plex is it's own program / app. It doesn't use AirVideo at all.

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/local/bin/avconv": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

Relevant error being your system does not appear to have /usr/local/bin/avconv.

 

This is installed as part of the plugin and belongs to package "libav-i486-rj.txz".

 

Suggest you check /packages on your flash drive to see if file 'libav-i486-rj.txz' exists.  If missing, then it may not have downloaded successfully.  If present, delete it, thus allowing the plugin to re-download it upon reboot/re-install as perhaps it was a bad download.

 

Try manually installing the plugin from command line and watch for any sign of errors/issues.

 

Tested plugin here just a moment ago and everything installs and works fine including /usr/local/bin/avconv existing;

 

root@Tower:~# which avconv

/usr/local/bin/avconv

 

root@Tower:~# /usr/local/bin/avconv

avconv version 0.8, Copyright © 2000-2012 the Libav developers

Hyper fast Audio and Video encoder

usage: avconv [options] [[infile options] -i infile]... {[outfile options] outfile}...

 

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man avconv'

Thank you for reply.

After reinstalled the program, I found that a file named jre-7u2-i586.txz and x264-snapshot-20120727-2245-stable-i486-rj.tgz were unable to install. May I download it myself and put in to package folder?

You can download them yourself from the links provided in the plugin, but you should not need to do this as the plugin should download them for you. 

 

I would be interested to understand why they were unable to be installed (downloaded?).

 

Q: If you delete them from your packages directory and install the plugin from command line (eg. installplg /boot/config/plugins/airvideo_overbyrn.plg) can you watch the plugin installation and look for any errors which may provide a clue why they are not downloading correctly?

 

Finally, i installed successfully after tried three times. thank you

So, can we use this plugin anymore or not?? I downloaded it in 5.0.2 and also downloaded the free version of Air Video in iPhone, and every time I'm trying to play any of my MKVs or AVIs or MP4s, an error says that an unknown error has been occurred etc...etc.. I successfully add the server with the password into the application, but it doesn't play anything.. I like the Air Video way of a list from my actual folders instead of Plex which is a library type like XBMC which needs scans and updates, but as it seems, it doesn't work anymore.... :(

Hi, my unRAID Pro 5.0.4 is running fine with Github Airvideo plugin 1.3. No issue occured so far.

What I am looking for is the ability of displaying Chinese subtitles on realtime streaming.

Give Plex a try.

There is nothing wrong with AirVideo 1.3 it works great and I am able to stream 2 or 3 IPads in the house simultaneously, also have it setup to access outside my network when Im on the road.

 

Plex works great too, just have to go thru the files once and a while to make sure that it recognizes everything correctly. Plex works across all platforms . ie android, mac, and pc. AirVideo is restricted primarily to IOS Devices, but AirVideo Server can run on any platform to allow the content to be streamed to the IOS Devices.
