Sharing VIDEO with remote FE - Help Please.
|
|
I am trying to setup a front-end (FE) to use the stored VIDEO in the /
myth/video directory on the BackEnd (BE) that also has a FE. All are
Knoppmyth. I had to change the player's options to use X11, but now
the BE with an integrated FE can see and play the VIDEO fine. The
remote FE can not.
1) the 'data base' that holds the VIDEO information seems to be not
shared. I have to go in and recognize the video on the BE for it to
play them, then the FE states, that the video is moved, and needs to
re-recognize them (setup/video), then the BE/FE will not see them,
and around and around I go.
2) the FE has a BAD lip-Sync Issue that is not there on recordings
from TV or live-tv. Note that one of the VIDEO is a TV recording
moved to the VIDEO directory.
What I did:
Quick explanation:
-------------------------
BE/FE - Created a NFS mount of the /myth direcotory
FE - mounted the NFS mount
FE - changed the VIDEO Playback SETUP to point to the new mount for
video (and posters)
More Detailed explanation:
-------------------------------------
following directions at
http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NFSHowTo
but I had no /etc/export
SO I created one with a single line
/myth/video 192.168.11.0/24(ro) #Export my videos
then did the;
/etc/init.d/nfs-common start
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
then updated the kernal
update-rc.d nfs-common defaults
update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults
then I went to the frontend
mkdir /mnt/share-videos
mount 192.168.11.105:/myth/video /mnt/share-videos
Then updated fstab with
#mount for video sharing
192.168.11.105:/myth/video /mnt/share-videos nfs
defaults,auto,noatime 0 0
and changed the MYTH application's setup to look for videos in the
/mnt/share-videos
directory
PROBLEMS:
It did not work!
I can see the files, but Myth on the FE states that they are 'not
there', I went to video setup, re-recognized the videos, and then
they played. They played poorly. Lip Sync was out my 30 seconds....
I went back to the BE/FE and tried to play the videos. The BE/FE
needed to re-recognize the files, then the played with no lip-sync
issue.
changed the mount to be the whole /myth directory and nothing.
