Unable to start vlc stream via WiiMC

[budjit]

Hi,

I got VLCShares 0.5.4 running on a GuruPlug (armv5tel running archlinuxarm) with lighttpd instead of Apache. All works well when browsing it with Chrome, but WiiMC+ is unable to start a vlc stream – it just times out it seems. I can start a stream with Android, so I suppose this has something to do with the transcode profile or transmission mode?

I’ve set “error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT” in php.ini and enabled VLCShares own logging to a file, but can’t seem to find anything useful there.

$ vlc --version

VLC media player 1.1.12 The Luggage (revision exported)

VLC version 1.1.12 The Luggage (exported)

...

$ php --version

PHP 5.3.8 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Dec  1 2011 00:06:42)

...

$ uname -a

Linux plug 3.1.1-2-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Sun Nov 20 20:47:38 UTC 2011 armv5tel Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l) Marvell GuruPlug Reference Board GNU/Linux

So has anyone got VLCShares working on an ARM box? I guess all this effort is futile, since the GuruPlug doesn’t have enough power for on-the-fly transcoding, but still … any help is appreciated. I’ll try setting up a remote php debugger and a VLC Shares Eclipse project in the mean time 🙂

Thanks!

Transcoding profile for WiiMC is mpeg2 ts-muxed. If you want to try, change the profile for wiimc to the same one used with android and use the http output. Remember to set the debug log level to INFO if you want more informations in the debug log.
