Audio does not play about gmrender-resurrect HOT 9 CLOSED

mmh, did you install all the gstreamer plugins ? They determine what stream types they can play. The error message could indicate that it might have a problem with that.

Did it work after installing the plugins ?

Hi,

Same problem here, trying to play music from my android device on my raspi gmrender server.

Here the server log:

I checked, all the plugins for gstreamer are installed in correct version. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Just to make sure, gstreamer has been found and compiled in ? If it is not found, then gmrender proceeds to use a dummy output module that does not provide any play capability. Try to explicitly say --with-gstreamer
(to be able to compile stuff, the development libs have to be installed: libgstreamer0.10-dev )

(Just submitted a change that makes this more obvious as it will show up in the error log; if you do a git pull and recompile this should trigger an error-log).

Actually, now I removed the dummy module entirely - it does not serve any purpose other than being confusing when gstreamer is not found. Now, there will be a compile error when that happens.

I tried with the new versuin and same problem occurs. Is it possible to activate more log abbout the error ?

At this point, it can only be an error in gstreamer.
Did you try playing a different format (*.ogg or *.flac for instance ?).
MP3 will only work if you have the 'ugly' plugins installed.
In the first couple of lines after startup, the logfile should list all the
media formats it allows for (Log-lines look something like 'Registering
audio/mpeg' or similar). Can you post this list here ?

If you set the environment variable GST_DEBUG=:5, then you can see all the
details of what is happening within gstreamer, and potentially a hint what
is going wrong:
GST_DEBUG=:5 src/gmediarender --logfile=/tmp/gmrender.log

(the --logfile only records the gmrender log, while the GST_DEBUG log
output will be on the console)

Ok, it was my bad, forgot to run make install.

It work nice! Thank you for your help.

Cool, glad it works.

I am going to close this bug now; I presume the original poster had a similar problem, but I never heard back, so I assume it fixed there as well.
