Can't locate HTTP/Date.pm in @INC

Any idea what I'm missing? TX

HTTP::Date ;-)

On a Debian-based system (such as Debian, Ubuntu, ...) you can easily get this by doing:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

YMMV.

There we go. That's what I needed, which on my gentoo system is package dev-perl/libwww-perl, which installed 5 other packages as dependencies & now works! YIPPEEE!! :)

thanks

Re: mediaserv: on-demand video transcoding

I've gone through this thread and have not found my issue (though I may have missed it) and I am a bit of a newbie. I have been using tablet-encode for awhile but finally have an extra computer that mediaserv would be useful on. Anyways, I followed the instructions in the readme for an Ubuntu install, set up the config file and ran mediaserv.

When I connect via my latop's browser or the n800 I get a mediaserv title and a "Not found".

Do to spaces in my original path I made a directory called /home/shared/video, stuck some movies in there, modified config, but still no go. I may have missed installing stuff for whatever parses the video's for thumbnails??

Here is my log output:

I'm an idiot - it was a config file issue. Please ignore above post.

For reference, what was the issue? How can I make the error handling and/or documentation better?

Nothing on your end - user error. I simply over looked the fact that although I changed the data directory in the config file, I had failed to uncomment the line, thus I couldn't see any of my video files. Worked fine after that : ).

Thanks for the great software!

Re: mediaserv: on-demand video transcoding

how do you open tar in the n810 because i can't install mediaderv because its in tar and not in deb.

I'm afraid my instructions have confused you. mediaserv is installed, and run, on a PC (primarily tested under Linux, but apparently can be got to work on Mac OS X and (perhaps) Windows).

You then access it on your N810 through the normal web browser or Nokia's VideoCenter application.

Re: mediaserv: on-demand video transcoding

Andrew,
I really wanted to see how would the mediaserv fair on the AppleTV running Tiger, however I've got problems running install.sh:

Quote:

AppleTV:~/Desktop/mediaserv stangri$ ./install.sh
cp: illegal option -- u
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src target
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory
cp: /Users/stangri/.mediaserv/config: No such file or directory
Install of mediaserv complete.

I don't have that much experience with shell scripting and can't understand what should go where from the commands in install.sh -- is there any detailed information on "manual" setup of mediaserv, describing all the binaries, config files and Perl modules I need to install and how to do it on Mac?

thanks!

Re: mediaserv: on-demand video transcoding

My fault for using a GNUism.

All it's doing is copying the resource files to ~/.mediaserv - so you should be OK to just remove the "-u" part of the `cp' line.
