OT: How do i install djmount in Ubuntu

Hello MythTVers,

I would like to install djmount on my Ubuntu frontends (both 8.04 and
9.04) to access content from a PlayOn UPnP server. Somehow I thought
this would be a 30 minute task, but 3 hours later I've not
accomplished my goal.

The only information I can find in the Ubuntu forums seems to be very
dated. Does anyone have pointers for current versions?

The ./configure output indicates a problem with FUSE, but I have
verified in Synaptic that FUSE modules are installed.

checking for FUSE...
checking FUSE_CFLAGS... -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
checking FUSE_LIBS... -lfuse
checking whether FUSE_CFLAGS and FUSE_LIBS work... no
configure: error:
** Can't find fuse library (or it is too old).
** try to configure again
- using --with-fuse-prefix=DIR if the package is installed in
non-standard location DIR/include and DIR/lib,
- or set the FUSE_CFLAGS and/or FUSE_LIBS environment variables
before calling 'configure',
- or add the directory containing 'fuse.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable for pkg-config.

Thanks for any help!
-Mark

Debian Lenny has packages for the fuse libs (2.7.4-1.1). djmount configured,
compiled, installed and works for me, though I haven't played around with it
all that much. This is on a non-Myth machine.

I'd think that if it builds on Debian it should work on Ubuntu.

Did you install the fuse libs (dev files)? Looks like they are missing, or
configure can't find them. Maybe Ubuntu puts them in an odd place?

do you have libfuse and libfuse-dev installed?

Yes. I'm not totally sure that libfuse-dev would not have included libfuse as
well, but I did install them both. Usually in a case like that Synaptic would
have deleted one if they were redundant. I checked them both, and they both
installed.

I should also mention that PlayOn is not one of the "known compatible
devices".

So far I can't get it to work with PlayOn, but it does seem to work with
Mediatomb.

I haven't worked with it a lot, and I may be able to get it working with
PlayOn, perhaps using the playlist option.

But I wanted to make sure you were aware that it might not do what you set out
to do.

Thanks for the libfuse-dev pointer. That was indeed my compile
problem. I guess I shouldn't have been trying to tinker so late at
night.

Thanks again, I have been able to mount the PlayOn server a play a
stream via the Totem movie play included in Ubuntu. Now I just need
to tweak out my MythVideo settings to see if it will work.

I tried mounting PlayOn, it seemed to work, I see the server, but no files
under it except the status file.

Do you see files with a standard ls?

Did you use the playlist option?

I do see the files with a standard ls.

An ls of my mount point returns this:
Amazon VOD (Beta) CBS CNN ESPN Hulu Netflix PlayOn Channel YouTube

I am able to drill down into Neflix and launch files with Totem just
fine. MythVideo hasn't shown me the love as of yet. Still working on
that one. But the basic upnp to filesystem via djmount seems to work
well with PlayOn.

Unfortunately I do not know what the playlist option is? I don't see
any reference to it in the PlayOn server. Is this a djmount option?

Odd, why would it list PLayOn along with services that should be one directory
under that (they are PlayOn services)?

I don't get anythign under the PlayOn listing.

I've been trying with a Lenny system, guess I'll see if an Ubuntu system
behaves differently.

Yep:

# -o playlists
to render all Audio or Video files as playlists (.m3u or .ram), which contains
an URL for the file. In this mode, only the address of the file is exported
through djmount ; the actual content is streamed through HTTP when the
playlist is accessed by your favorite media player. This mode was the only
mode possible for djmount before version 0.50.

It is apparently "PlayOn Channel". Underneath it are a couple of
directories, one of which appears to provide a way to reset the server
by selecting to play the file "Restart Server - Restart your PlayOn
Server. By choosing this, your PlayOn Server will be restarted. Note
that all currently playing media will be reset..mpg".

Are you using a 64-bit OS? I ask as I am unable to get djmount to
work on my Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit system even though it did compile. My
myth box is running Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit and djmount works there. I
found other people having problems with 64-bit as well.

That could be my problem, I am indeed running 64-bit, both the Lenny system
and the kubuntu box.

Dang, I thought we were past all this 64-bit trouble over a decade ago when I
was running Alpha systems. Of course back then if you could get it to compile
it would generally work.

You would think that since 64-bit machines have been out for a considerable
time we wouldn't have this sort of crap still happening.

I've got a P4 Pundit running 32-bit Ubuntu, guess I'll try it there.

Thanks for the tip.

That was it, I compiled it on a 32-bit VM (VirtualBox) and it appears to work
there.

I'm glad it works in a VM, my intention was to nfs export the PLayOn services,
and I'd hate to tie up a machine just for that.

Thanks again.

None. Just djmount /<mountpoint>

Same here. Simply djmount /mnt/upnp

On my Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit machine that works and it gives theses errors
on my Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit machine (with -dupnperr)

[E] Error in UpnpSendAction 'Browse' -- -104 (UPNP_E_OUTOF_MEMOR)

hmmmm I don't have it in front of me to test, but I recall an option
like --allow-all which affects permissions on the mounted filetree. I
akways had to use it. If that doesn't help. I'll play around at home
tonight.

Thanks, looks like as long as you only want to use it as yourself you don't
need any option:

-------------------------------------
See FUSE documentation for the following mount options:
default_permissions enable permission checking by kernel
allow_other allow access to other users
allow_root allow access to root
kernel_cache cache files in kernel
nonempty allow mounts over non-empty file/dir
fsname=NAME set filesystem name in mtab
------------------------------------

Thanks, by "always had" do you mean you no longer use it? Is there a better
alternative?

Are you the same user as runs mythfrontend though? Sorry I am
clutching at straws here as I don't presently use it (see below). I do
recall having to use -o allow_other at some point. YMMV, contents may
settle.

I don't use it at present as I have no need for it. Having an interest
in all things multimedia I have played with it, and various software
upnp servers from time to time. I don't presently have it installed on
my laptop, but will play again tonight.

If you played with it very long ago (0.5) things were a lot different, so you
may well have needed some option, seems like wanting some other user/process
to see the files might be a common requirement.

Don't spend time on my account, I was just checking I hadn't missed something
better.

Thanks again.
