I've got it running on Ubuntu Hardy, but whenever I load the server it adds a '-desktop.local' at the end of the server IP:

Code:

$ mediaserv
/usr/local/bin/tablet-encode
mediaserv running at http://192.168.1.100-desktop.local:8090
Parent daemon running.

When I attempt to connect to 192.168.1.100:8090, it redirects to 192.168.1.100-desktop.local:8090, which it cannot load. I have edited the config to force it to use 192.168.1.100, but that doesn't work. Not sure what else to look for. Any ideas?

Okay, I figured it out. There was another option for 'URL' in the config. Just had to set that, works great now. So if anybody else has that problem, that's what to do!

I tried to run media serv and all seemd to be running well until I tried to load a video. MediaPlayer said codec not supported and the transcoded file had been named with a .mp4.avi extension.

That's odd... Have you tried any other videos? Does mencoder launch and do its thing on your desktop? How are you accessing the server.. via web?

I access the server via the web. As far as I know mencode, et al is running. I am not seeing anything on my desktop though. I have mplayer/mencoder installed on the desktop as thats what i primarily use for video.

When I start mediaserv it says it cannot find 770-encode in (paths) (I use tablet encode) the starts with the rest of the regular script.

That sucks. I don't know what to tell you. I will say that on mine, whenever I load a video from mediaserv on the Nokia, a terminal window pops up on my desktop and begins to encode the video. Hopefully someone else will show up with more knowledge on the situation.

Maybe its my Compile? I am compiling it on openSuse and using the script generated in the /src directory under the /mediaserv directory the tar file creates.

Ahh.. yes, it could be. I've just been using the precompiled binary. It seems to run fine even though I'm running 64-bit Hardy.

I'm a wuss, I tend to go for the binaries first and then compile src if that doesn't work.

problem is that openSuse doesn't handle .debs very well, so I had to compile. Its a simple enough app that I thought it'd be fine... lol

Hmm.. I wasn't aware there were any .debs... This is where I dl'd mediaserv/tablet-encode: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=455
The bins are in the tar.gz's.

Edit: upon closer inspection, they actually appear scripts... not sure what you compiled
