[campcaster-support] New "Monrovia" 1.4 beta 2 packages available
  • Hi all,

    I'm happy to announce that the second round of beta packages for the
    Campcaster 1.4 "Monrovia" release are finally available and are up on our
    repository. That's the good news.

    The bad news is that they still don't work with Ubuntu Intrepid; they only
    work with Hardy so far. I'm hoping to work with other team members to get
    the problem solved (any volunteers?).

    More good news, and probably the most important reason to check out this
    second beta release is that thanks to Nebojsa Grujic, we now have at least
    a preliminary fix for the bug where the scheduler would not play more than
    one file in a scheduled playlist. Many thanks to Nebojsa for getting that
    out.

    There are a few other minor fixes in there too, mainly in making the
    installation procedure run correctly.

    To install the packages, you have to have Ubuntu Hardy (so far these won't
    work on any other version) and add the following repository to your
    sources.list (or Synaptic -> Repositories -> Third-Party Software):

    http://code.campware.org/ubuntu hardy main

    and then refresh your sources by either doing an 'apt-get update' or
    clicking the 'Refresh' button in Synaptic.

    We're really eager to get these packages tested, so please report any bugs
    or strange behavior to us on the campcaster-support or campcaster-dev
    mailing lists. You can also drop in to see if any of the Campcaster team
    are hanging out on our IRC channel, #campcaster on irc.freenode.net.

    Please note that Campcaster is a community effort, meaning that any and
    all contributions - whether it's bug reports, documentation, code or cold,
    hard cash - are greatly appreciated. You can donate to Campware through
    our Digital Kiosk at
    http://digitalkiosk.mdlf.org:8080/kiosk/app/template/StoreProduct.vm/id/1052


    Best regards and I hope to hear from you soon,

    That's great, but could you also provide some amd64 (x86_64) packages?

    If I got some 64bit packages (repo), i'd do some tests, API docs and help
    on developing...but i need to start at a certain level.

  • Hi Fabiano,

    I'd really love to make packages for AMD64, but we don't have any AMD
    hardware available to us.

    If it helps any, the instructions for creating packages are at this
    address:

    Hope this helps,

    douglas

  • Thanks Doug and Nebojsa!

    the new Hardy packages work as described, much appreciated. Since this is beta... one error I'm getting is trying to export a playlist:

    Fatal error: Cannot use object of type PEAR_Error as array in /opt/campcaster/var/Campcaster/htmlUI/var/html/ui_browser.php on line 139
