Me tv , does not start

[Daniele Castrovilli]

When i start the application it doesn't start, and if i start it from a terminal it says to me Me-tv version and nothing else will happen.

This happen in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS alpha2, Me TV installed from Ubuntu Software Center and corrected and initial error that i can't remember , it needs a GTK theme , installing "gtk2-engines-pixbuf" i've resolved the first problem but not the fact that the program seems to be unresponsive.

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

I have not tried it under 12.04 yet. i understand that you have installed
it from software center so, I suppose it is the version 1.3.6. If you're ok
with compiling stuff, can you try the version 1.4.0 from the launchpad
repository ?

I'm in the process of creating a PPA for the branch 1.4 so it will be
easier to keep up-to-date.

Cheers,
Fred

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

Hi Daniele,

Now latest me-tv version can be downloaded from official Me-TV development repository:

https://launchpad.net/~me-tv-development/+archive/ppa

Simply add ppa:me-tv-development/ppa to your system's Software Sources, update package info and you can install latest version :)

You can also try to manually start the server first with the command:
"me-tv-server"

[Daniel Richter (danielrichter2007)]

I have the same problem.

The server seems to work well, but however the client doesn't find it so it asks to start it.

When clicking yes, it says "Exception: Failed to communicate with Me TV server" and terminates.

Same problem when not running the server before.

[Daniel Richter (danielrichter2007)]

This is the complete output:

Me TV 1.4.0.6

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Hi,

For the "gtk-WARNING... pixmap..." you have to install the package
gtk2-engines-pixbuf (something like that)

For the connection between the client and server you can try starting the
server with the command "me-tv-server --broadcast-address=10.2.255.255"
(change the broadcast address to suit your configuration)

Then start the client with this command "me-tv-client
--server-host=ip.of.the.srv".

If this is not working, you can add "-v > me-tv.log" at the end of the
command to log what is happening.

Cheers,
Frederic

Hi Daniele,

You have the "Mismatch Database Version" bug. I'm planning on working it

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

I've made some minor change in rev 1.4.0.8 (the daily build should pickup
the change) regarding this issue. I would like to know if you still have
this bug with this version.

Before trying it, make sure you don't have me-tv (client/server) running
(ps -A | grep me-tv)
Then, delete the folder ~/.local/share/me-tv and everything in it (you can
also move it somewhere else)

To help me a little, If possible, the first time you start me-tv, do it
with this command: "me-tv-client -v > me-tv.log" (without quote)

If you still have this bug, send me these two files: me-tv.log (that you've
created with the command bellow) and ~/.local/share/me-tv/me-tv.db
if you don't have this bug anymore, I also would like to know.

I'am not able to reproduce this behaviour at home, so I'm working blind...

Cheers, Frederic

manually setting the version in me-tv*.db gets you to the stack added in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/me-tv/+bug/951720/comments/10

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Can you try it with the PPA ? and make sure you have the last version (1.4.0-0~27~oneiric1 or 1.4.0-0~27~precise1 at this time)

When you compile it yourself, you also have to do the "sudo make install" to make "me-tv-server" available in the path. When you just "make", the application is build ok but the "me-tv-client" don't have access to the bin "me-tv-server".

To remove it after a "sudo make install", you can do "sudo make uninstall" but you need the original folder from where you have compile it.

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

nothing sir , it gives the same problem, even with the latest version of me-tv updated via PPA

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Do you mean the "connection error" or the "mismatch DB error" ?

If it's the connection error, are you able to start me-tv-server first then
the me-tv-client ?

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

is the mismatch bug

[gogo (trebelnik-stefina)]

First is starting me-tv-client, then me-tv-server.

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

me-tv-server -v
2012-03-18 20:44:56: Me TV Server 1.4.0.8 started

2012-03-18 20:44:56: Me TV database initialised

Whooo i think maybe something is going to work!

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

Now the problem is that , starting with me-tv-client command it says "Failed to communicate with server"

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Can you make sure (again, I know) that no me-tv is running with this
command: "ps -A | grep me-tv" (nothing should come out)

Then start me-tv-server with the argument "-v" (me-tv-server -v)

You should see something like:
2012-03-18 17:22:50: Me TV Server 1.4.0.8 started

The last 4 lines are the most important for the communication between the
client and the server. Since the communication between the client and the
server is using the network, do you have any firewall or something else
blocking the communication ?

I will make a fresh install on an other computer to check that out. Maybe
I've made a change to my computer making it work but don't remember it.

Thanks a lot for your time,
Frederic

2012-03-18 22:43:15: Me TV database initialised

Nothing more, i have no firewall it's just a fresh install of my ubuntu 12.04

[Felix Lawrence (felix-lawrence)]

I seem to have the same/a similar problem. I am also running 12.04 (originally installed as an alpha). With the latest me-tv from the PPA:
$ rm -rf .local/share/me-tv/
$ me-tv-server -v

If it's at all relevant, I have also been having problems with the gnome-dvb-* apps: they forget my device group every time i reboot. I don't know whether they might be stuffing up me-tv (whether gnome-dvb-daemon is or isn't running does not seem to change me-tv's output above).

this is a brute froce workaround to get me a running me-tv back. note that this _may_ corrupt ~/.local/share/me-tv/me-tv.db a any time - i simply don't know...

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Today, I've tried with different version of Ubuntu and this bug is only in
12.04 (11.10 and before are ok). I also found a workaround but I think that
yours is better looking then mine.

Can you explain it a little ? Did you found some doc on this somewhere ?

Tonight I'll try to put something in place to fix this for once and for all.

Thanks,
Frederic

[ause (ause)]

every stack i got when interrupting a hanging me-tv, no matter what version, came across creating a lock in Data::Statement::Statement. so i played around avoiding that lock at all.
the chosen variant was just a suggestion by the compiler to resolve an abiguity when i messed up the code ;).

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Ok, I've updated the PPA with a fix for this bug (I hope). So since
1.4.0-0~29~Precise1, it should be fix.

Can someone confirm ? (not everyone please)

Thanks,
Frederic

It works, both server and client when i can try to watch some videos i tell you this too ok? Thanks a lot!!!

[Felix Lawrence (felix-lawrence)]

Works for me too, including actually watching TV. Thank you both very much!

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

Ok perfect, i have checked channels with w_scan, i've imported my conf file but there is sound but no video!!! I can hear my programs but i cannot see anything even a black screen, i have an Ati with proprietary drivers, what should i do?

[Frédéric Côté (frederic-cote)]

Sometime you have to install VLC (You can do it with software manager). I
think that just libvlc is not enough. I'll have to check that too.

Cheers,
Frederic
