Ive installed mythstream according to the instructions on the knoppmythwiki however the buttons arent appearing in the menus. i followed the wiki to the letter, so it should be showing up - well, at least in theory

at the bottom of the page on the wiki there is a comment from Kerry Morrison

so it sounds like perhaps i am having similar issues and this solution might fix the problem for me, but there is not enough information supplied. can anyone shed some light on this one? i would be very grateful - i love my internet radio

using - knoppmyth R5A16

Just had the same problem. Even though I'm 99.9% sure I did this step properly:

9. edit settings.pro and change /usr/local to /usr

I still ended up with all of the files installed to /usr/local. Just copy or move this directory and file

/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythstream
/usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so

to

/usr/share/mythtv/mythstream
/usr/lib/mythtv/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so

Hopefully that's all you have wrong. After that it worked out of the box for me.

EDIT: fixed the path to libmythstream.so

thanks for that - i followed your instructions and it showed up in the menus, but clicking on the buttons caused my system to crash.

i also had to copy the following files to get it to work:

copy
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream-ui.xml
/usr/local/share/mythtv/streamconfigmenu.xml cp
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream.png
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/blue/stream.png

to
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream-ui.xml
/usr/share/mythtv/streamconfigmenu.xml
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/stream.png
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/stream.png

Just a question as I install mythstream i come to the step where it tells me to cd to the /mythstream directory
No such directory under /usr/mythtv
so I am not sure at what point that directory would have been created.

What step are you talking about? If it installed in the rigth directory, it should be in /usr/share//mythtv/mythstream.

Sorry, I had to create a new profile because of access problems with connollyr
I followed the instructions below but at step 10 I saw nothing in the /usr/share/mythstream folder and nothing in the previous instructions that would have created a directory like the above. My skill level isn't great but not to bad either, I have installed myth under fedora and the R3-->R5a16 versions of Knoppixmyth. I downloaded the files in step 1 to a temp folder and then extracted each to its own folder.

My Web interface works well and so does webmin i am using the Haupauge 350 flawlessly just want to take this next step

Thanks for any input

1. Download mythstream and player.xml from http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~moongies/streamtuned.html
(Make sure to get mythstream at bottom of page, not streamtuned at top)


2. tar -xvzf mythstream-v0.16_3.tar.gz
3. export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
4. export PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
5. cd /usr/src/mythtv/sources
7. tar -xvjf mythtv-0.17.tar.bz2
8. cd mythtv-0.17
9. edit settings.pro and change /usr/local to /usr.
10. cd path-to-mythstream/mythstream (no path anywhere to Mythstream)

I think he means the path to the untared source code in step 2.

Negative for me too. I followed the directions pretty well until the apt-get install mplayer-k7, which is not an available package for me, even after an apt-get update. It won't install "mplayer" either, saying I have a newer version. Should I go and compile it from source? I don't care that much about the Realaudio streams and it was my impression that was the only reason you would need to do that.

Anyway, after all that, and the
cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/* /usr/share/mythtv I did based on this thread, the icons are there, but they don't do anything, just highlight for a second and go right back to the menu.

Better than crashing I suppose.

If you're having trouble getting the video streams to play, try this..

Unless we know someone is comfortable with vi or emacs we tend to recommend a simpler editor like nano or nedit. Dropping newbies into vi has been declared cruel and inhumane in most juristictions.

nah just point them to vimtutor to learn it since vi is a very good skill to have anyways.

I think jcmthree just had a typo in his post, since he is saying copy the .so file to itself. I did a:

cp /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins

That finally got me the MythStream screen and while none of the news streams worked, I was able to play one of the music streams. Woohoo! This is one of the top reasons I wanted to get MythTV rather than a Tivo or some other DVR, so that makes me pretty happy.

I haven't tested further than that yet, because I have to get some sleep tonight. I have been dreaming about Knoppmyth every night this weekend, which is more than a bit disturbing.

Hi. I had the same problem just now. Solved it by
cp -r /usr/local/share/mythtv/* /usr/share/mythtv
and
cp /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythstream.so /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins

...does this mean "make install" doeas the wrong thing, or the install instructions are wrong? Or are we all too stupid...

what it means is that the default install directories in the mythtv makefile do not match the install location used in knoppmyth/debian.
