Hello,
I installed ffmpeg2, vlc and mythstreamtv and configured it like in the mythstreamtv readme.
I can see the movie streamed but i have no sound.
What could i do, what could be wrong.
please help me

any error message at top of the stream log...I had a "no sound" issue...I had a codec issue....error withing first 20-30 lines or so.

which version of knoppmyth are you using? You are using an mpeg2 capture, right?

I am using Knoppmyth r5a16 and i installed a new kernel 2.6.12 because of my airstar dvb-t card.
When i copiled vlc i got an error, thomething with mpeg2 and i tried it again with the option: --disable -mpeg2
than i could install it without any errors.
When i start the stream over mythweb i tried all combinations with the options: http, mms, high sound, low sound etc.
I get a perfect picture but without sound.
the website message are:

I tried to compile vlc again and got a message to install libmpeg2,

and installed it.
Now i could install vlc without any errors.
ffmpeg installing was also without any errors.

What now?

the message window is displaying the bottom of the text in the log.txt file in the directory you have installed into (/myth/stream on my box)

You probably want to check out the top of that file. You may see more info there.

What I guess is the issue might be your card....This is the first line on the mythstreamtv sourceforge site
Does your card fit into this catagory....disabling mpeg2 seems like a step in the wrong direction. IMHO.

I have a Technisat airstar2 dvb-t card (buget) without mpeg2 decoder.
does this card fitinto the category ??
I installed and enabled mpeg2.

sorry, but I don't know anything about capture cards other then the PVR250's I own. does you card capture into MPEG2 format?

can you post the top of the log file.

I searched in the mythstreamtv forum and find out that vlc cant stream the format of videofile that my card saved.
but thanks for your ideas.
If someone find a way, in spite of this problems, let me here.

guess you figured out your issue. Yes, mythstreamtv can not stream anything cept mpeg1/2

You could manually start streams using VLC directly... but it wouldn't be web-controlled. The best you could hope for would be SSH.

I found a way to watch tv at my windows machine, but it has nothing to do with mythtv.
I record a programm with mencoder to the folder /cach/cache as avi and open the avi file with mplayer over the samba server.
But first i have to stop mythbackend:

/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop

I use this command:

mencoder dvb://ARD -o movie.avi -oac copy -ovc copy

A channellist is needed: /home/mythtv/.mplayer/channels.conf

its seems to be a good working way.

When i try to watch the recorded nuv files the mpayer crash every 10 minutes.

I too are experiencing problems with MythWeb streaming and no sound in Windows Media Player. I also tried streaming with VLC Media Player and no luck either!

The Myth install is KnoppMyth 0.18 (Dec 05) and the NUV files play with video & sound just fine via SMB to the original mplayerc.exe.

In WMP (v10), when clicking on properties of the mythtv stream, it shows no audio codec!

So has anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?


root@mythtv:~# ps ax|grep vlc
6731 ? Sl 2:24 /usr/local/bin/vlc -I http --http-host=:8002 --sout-transcode-fps=25 --sout-transcode-deinterlace /myth/tv/1009_20060125195900_20060125203000.nuv :sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,acodec=mp3,vb=256,ab=96,scale=1}:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8001}

Same problem here... any clues... ?

I'm having the same problem, thought I'd give this a bump. I've searched the forums and unfortunately VLC and WMP both give me fits: perfect video, no audio.

I've created a little script that will basically do the same thing as mythstreamtv (the vlc commands are the same) and here is some output when I load the stream:



output from uname -a for reference


Has anyone come across this type of problem? It seems as though audio encoding fails for some reason.

I think I finally solved the problem.

The mythstreamtv updates output MPGA and MP3 in capital letters - however, VLC requires them to be in LOWERCASE and unfortunately, VLC is now case sensitive.

The simple solution was to edit the confirm.php file (located in /var/www/mythweb/modules/streamtv/tmpl/detfault/ in my case) which is the code for selecting the audio codec and change them from uppercase to lower case in all instances.

However, this only worked for MP3 - even with recompiles etc., I never got MPGA working.
