[mythtv-users] MythStreamTV + 0.19, what's the magic vlc/ffmpeg combo?

[Daniel Walton]

I'm running 0.19 and have patched in the jogibear's 0.19 compliant version of
MythStreamTV mentioned here:

http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2006-January/044015.html

But I can't find the right combination of vlc and ffmeg that will work.  If
anyone has mythstreamtv working on 0.19 can you share your vlc and ffmpeg info
with me?  I've tried the following:

VLC info
--------
I'm using the following config options

./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-gtk --disable-sdl
--enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-mad
--enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --disable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav --enable-mkv
--enable-freetype --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-speex --enable-flac
--enable-goom --enable-livedotcom --enable-caca --disable-skins2
--enable-modplug --enable-debug --enable-gpl --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp
--with-ffmpeg-tree=/root/apps_code/ffmpeg-cvs/ --enable-dvbpsi --enable-v4l
--disable-vorbis --disable-ogg --disable-theora --enable-pvr

- version 0.8.5 and latest svn copy both seq fault when I try to start a stream
via mythstreamtv

- version 0.8.1 seems to be the recommended version but it won't compile due to

video.c: In function `ffmpeg_NewPictBuf':
video.c:183: error: structure has no member named `frame_rate'
video.c:183: error: structure has no member named `frame_rate_base'
video.c:185: error: structure has no member named `frame_rate'

video.c:639: error: structure has no member named `frame_rate'
make[6]: *** [libffmpeg_plugin_a-video.o] Error 1

- I found a post where a user mentioned using vlc snapshot-20050518, I can
compile that but when I try to stream a show I get:

Starting Stream of /myth/tv/1006_20060220183000.mpg

I have tried all of the above with ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 and with the latest cvs
copy of ffmpeg but still no luck.  For ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 I used these config
options

./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-gtk --disable-sdl
--enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-faac --with-ffmpeg-zlib
--enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --disable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav
--enable-mkv --enable-freetype --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-speex
--enable-flac --enable-goom --enable-livedotcom --enable-caca --disable-skins2
--enable-modplug --enable-debug --enable-gpl --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp

for latest cvs ffmpeg I used:

./configure --enable-mp3lame --enable-faac --enable-a52 --enable-gpl --enable-pp


I need to get this working before I go out of town during the ACC Tournament :)

Thanks
