[campcaster-dev] Problems making 1.4 beta packages
  • Hi all,

    I've been trying to make 1.4 beta packages so that people can start
    testing it in earnest, but I haven't been able to get the packages to
    build. What's particularly odd is that while the development environment
    built correctly, the same code failed to make packages.

    I filed one ticket, and Frans has filed a couple more related to this in
    the last couple of days. The problem seems to be the Gstreamer debug code;
    at least that's where the build exited.


    Any ideas?

    the states. I haven't installed anything yet because there are so many
    versions out there and no Debian repos!

    Anyhoo, I'm almost certain I'll need to do some development to get the
    features required for the project so I should probably work with SVN
    trunk. I'll be writing back with little installation/packaging notes.

    Good to hear from you! We could certainly use the help. If you haven't
    checked it out already, take a look at the most recent commits; Nebojsa
    has the Gstreamer 0.10 port done and from what I've tested, it's pretty
    darn speedy, Plus, now that this works on a vanilla Gstreamer install (in
    theory, at least), it'll make it possible to use all the other Gstreamer
    features (like support for WAV, FLAC and other codecs).

  • Word up to the gstreamer 0 .10 tip, as my system depends on JACK. I
    already have all the Gnome stuff running with the gstreamer-plugins-
    really-bad package in Debian testing. Funny name, I know. One downside
    is that at least with Rhythmbox, gstreamer leaks memory. Don't know
    where the problem lies though and it's not terrible considering I've
    been running it for three days and it hasn't dumped core yet Smile

    Anyway, I'm excited about the new version. FWIW, I'll be attempting to
    implement some of the features of Live365's web-based scheduler and
    playlist creator, as well as some statistical reporting. I don't
    imagine that'll be too tough, since they don't really offer anything
    exceptional. My producers have been using Live365 for years and they
    are dependent on the automated playlist scheduling.

  • That would indeed be great if you were to give some attention to the
    playlist making; the web playlist mechanism as it currently stands is
    pretty creaky. Actually, now that we have 0.10 going, one of the things it
    should enable - with an unknown amount of work - is the scheduled playback
    of network streams. That's something we had in the 0.91 release (which ran
    on Helix), but we had to pull it when we moved to Gstreamer 0.8.

    Also, if you haven't checked it out, go take a look at the developer docs
    at http://campcaster-doc.campware.org. If you've got the development
    environment installed, it's in the /doc directory locally too. We gave
    Akos a pretty hard time about his UML diagrams at the time, but they've
    proven to be pretty useful.

    Please post here frequently. There are enough of us around who've nosed
    around different parts of Campcaster and we might be able to help.
