orons Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Is there a way to change the default port of AirVideo? I think my ISP is blocking 45631... Quote Link to comment
fucheeno Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hello all, I finally got this installed after dealing with some weird compiling issues. Anyways everything seems to work except the buttons which don't seem to either stop or start the app. If I run the command manually using bash air-video-server.sh test.properties & it will start but the app eventually dies on it's own. Does anyone know what I can troubleshoot? I am also running subsonic btw which depends on a jar file in case that matters. Thanks for any responses. I really am starting to love my unraid and this community. Quote Link to comment

I really am starting to love my unraid and this community. Not for sure, but try using echo "bash air-video-server.sh test.properties" | at now + 1 minute and wait one minute. airvideo should be up and running and stay running. P.S. to all: I am working on updating this package... hopefully will have it done by tonight since there are not a lot of changes that need to be made. Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I can't remember but does Air Video shutdown when their is a call for the array to shut down? Quote Link to comment
barrettj Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The start script does indeed take a minute to start it up. As for the stop script not working all the time, change the command to do a kill -9 instead of just kill and it should work. Quote Link to comment

footballmad Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 @fucheeno thanks, I was trusting the unMenu buttons to start this but apparently it didn't work but starting manually like you did, I can now login from my ipad. bash air-video-server.sh test.properties & However I created a test for a changed the configuration variables but I can't see any video files, any ideas guys? @orons. I don't believe it's possible to change ports in the Linux version. Quote Link to comment
footballmad Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Maybe I just need to restart the airvideo server, fucheeno helped me to start but what's the command to stop it? Quote Link to comment
ilovegoodnugz Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Need Help live transcoding 1080p video and Will play a couple seconds of video then video will black out but audio will keep playing. Hardware Or software problem? Quote Link to comment

Hardware Or software problem? Have not the slighted clue since you did not list any of your hardware. As for the package update. I am working on it but probably will not have anything out till the end of the week at the earliest. I am putting some ceiling fans in my house, so my time is occupied with that for the next day or so. Also, the reason changes are not picked up when you change them in the config is because the current Airvideo Process that is running does not get shutdown before the changes are made. It is one of the things I am working on so that a change/update of the config takes effect. Quote Link to comment

Might want to read up on the Airvideo forum to see what specs they suggest for live transcoding. Quote Link to comment
footballmad Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, Can anyone help with the stop command please? Thanks Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi, Can anyone help with the stop command please? Thanks If you have installed the package via the unMenu package manager then there should be a start and stop Airvideo button in the user scripts section of unMenu. If that fails to work you will have to do a ps -ef and find out the pid (process id) of the airvideo service that is running and send the kill PROCESS_ID_NUMBER_HERE Quote Link to comment

fucheeno Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Well, I am getting closer and closer to having this all working. I am running the latest airvideo with the latest ffmpeg after upgrading to unraid 5. I think the new permissions scheme is messing me up somehow. I am able to convert on the fly but I can't queue any conversions and I think it's perms related. Here is some logging info. Can anyone lend me a hand? If I get this working I might be able to convince the wife to finally get an iPad!! DEBUG: Conversion: /usr/bin/mp4creator: can't open file 0df5afb1-4dbe-4a16-919f-1a56f229a1e2.aac: No such file or directory DEBUG: Conversion: Muxing Done DEBUG: Conversion: Resulting file is smaller than 1KB - something went wrong.

Deleting. I can't help much at the moment but I am reworking the Airvideo package so that it is running the newest versions of ffmpeg and airvideo. With the long weekend coming up I hope to get it figured out and tested well enough to put the .conf file up here for people to pull down and test. I ran into a snag as the ffmpeg that is installed does not return a version number when you try a /boot/packages/ffmpeg/ffmpeg -version like it is supposed to. I was going to use this to que off of so that a new version of ffmpeg could be installed. I will have to find another way to get it working. Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I may have figured out a way around the version issue stuff I mentioned above. I have not tested fully... not really even coded it, except for pseudo code and whats managed to stay in my head. I should be able to make the changes tonight, but will have to test it over the next couple of days to make sure everything works properly. Quote Link to comment

I did install AirVideo through unMenu but the stop and start script don't seem to work, strange as the rest do (sickbeard etc.) I look forward to any updates you make as now I can connect with my iPad but cannot see any videos I tried .avi, .mkv .mp4 Quote Link to comment

I will work on fixing that for the updated package. Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 My 2year old decided to push the power button off yesterday and more or less take down the server. I fired it up this morning wondering why nothing was responding. Ran a pairity check and sure enough I have errors. I'm re-running a parity check now hoping it will clear the errors. This would be the second time hes done that and both times I've had errors after a check. I can only guess its because AirVideo is not allowing the array to shutdown cleanly. Of course I'm not blaming the script, but since I know he is the reason for the machine shutting off whats protecting the array from a power outage and the APC script shutting down clean. Is there a way to force AirVideo to shutdown when the array needs to go down? Quote Link to comment

Is there a way to force AirVideo to shutdown when the array needs to go down? Do you have the powerdown package installed? If not you can install it and him pressing (NOT HOLDING) the power button will cause the powerdown package to kick off. It will do all it can in an attempt to shut down cleanly, but it is all hit and miss. If he is pressing and holding the power button... not much to do about that. Short of covering the power button with something there is not much that can be done to help in that situation. Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm pretty sure I have the powerdown package installed. As for him HOLDING or PRESSING is beyond me. I only know hes doing something. LOL I guess in short as long as AirVideo can cleanly shutdown then I'll have to combat my other problem. LOL Wife said to disable the button, which it sounds like I might have to do for a while, but thats not this apps fault/problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment
