Where can I find a working mediatomb rpm for os 12.2? It can’t be found in packman…
I can’t install the rpm from packman 12.1 neither because of a missing dependency: libjs.so.1.
i need mediatomb to stream video from my linux box to several media devices. Worked great on os 12.1

Perhaps the thing to search for is a copy of libjs1 (the rpm that
provides the dependency that you’re missing).

Tried it with the the 12.1 rpm but it crashes when adding files to it. Something is probably different between os 12.1 and 12.2 that requieres a new rpm build for 12.2. But I can’t find any.
libjs has been removed. it is a library shouldn’t exist at all.
so just wait until I fixed the package.

What is the crash that you get?

Hi, it is fixed. 
but since Packman build service was down since yesterday. you may need to wait a little longer to have package download.
or you can use my local build temporarily: https://www.box.com/s/fev8uzpwlwljsq4jh7q3
(it has only openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 rpms, so if your Arch is i586, please use rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm to get the rpms.)
Many thanks for the quick delivery MargueriteSu! I will test the new package as soon as i can!
It works! thanks

Out of curiosity, do you use it with Apple trailers and/or Youtube? You
got me interested in this media server (I’ve been using the PS3 Media
Server for a long time, but have issues with some of the transcoding
stuff with my Android phone), and these two features are features that
look interesting, but I’ve not managed to get them to work.
If you use them, I’d be interested in how you configured them.
Thanks,
Jim

I use mediatomb to stream my data from opensuse pc to my ipad and ps3. With data I mean pictures, music and movie files. This is a breeze to setup, just go to mediatomb url and select the data directory for autoscan. Mediatomb will then add new videos, pictures by itself to its database.
To anwser your question on youtube and apple trailers, I don’t really understand what you try to achieve or what these two features actually should do.

No problem, I’ve been using it to stream local media files (along with
the PS3 Media Server). Youtube on my PS3 isn’t very good (the new app
pauses and crashes a lot), and Mediatomb is supposed to be able to
transcode from Youtube and Apple’s movie trailers - so I wondered if you
had tried that, because I tried configuring those options and they didn’t
work for me.
No matter, it was just a curiosity if you’d used that feature.

I’ve done some searching on these features and the transcoding seems very interesting. I have some vids which ipad doesn’t want to play, probably because of an unsopperted coded. But I can’t get the transcoding to work. I’ve set up my mediatomb config file like it is explained on the website, but it seems my video is never actually transcoded when I stream it to the ipad. Guess I have to live with that for now.

I’ve done a little bit with transcoding - however, unlike PMS, transcoding
in Mediatomb doesn’t let you seek or pause.
Here’s a sample from my config file for using mencoder to do some
transcoding:
<profile name="mencoder" enabled="yes" type="external">
<mimetype>video/mpeg</mimetype>
<accept-url>yes</accept-url>
<first-resource>yes</first-resource>
<accept-ogg-theora>yes</accept-ogg-theora>
<agent command="mencoder" arguments="-vf scale=-10:240 -ss 0 %in -msglevel statusline=2 -oac lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=mpeg2:muxrate=500000:vbuf_size=1194:abuf_size=64 -ovc lavc -channels 6 -lavdopts debug=0:threads=4 -lavcopts autoaspect=1:vcodec=mpeg2video:acodec=ac3:abitrate=640:threads=4:keyint=5:vqscale=1:vqmin=2 -subdelay 20000 -lavdopts fast -mc 0 -noskip -af lavcresample=48000 -srate 48000 -o %out" can-seek="yes"/>
<buffer size="14400000" chunk-size="512000" fill-size="120000"/>
</profile>
This goes in the section under the section. In the section, you also need to add:
<transcode mimetype="video/mp4" using="mencoder"/>
or something like that to get the transcoder to work with specific MIME
types. In my case, I’m downscaling the input files so they play smoothly
on my Android phone.
Seems to work pretty well.

Hi MargueriteSu:
I just grabbed your mediatomb build for openSUSE12.2 x64 tonight, and have finally gotten a bit closer, but I’m not quite there. And I’m hoping that you can help out.
MediaTomb started up for me, however once I add a directory it crashes with the following in /var/log/mediatomb:
2013-02-11 19:44:30 INFO: MediaTomb Web UI can be reached by following this link:
2013-02-11 19:44:30 INFO: http://10.0.0.2:49152/
2013-02-11 19:44:30 JS: function print() {
[native code]
}
Of course, now MT won’t stay up at all. If there’s anything else I can provide, please let me know.
Thanks!!!
Hi there, I’m running media tomb - recently installed from pacman and seems fine. No crashes yet… perhaps worth reinstalling.
I haven’t got into the transcoding options yet.
Might try PS3server but not sure about the java home and jre path settings.
