doesn`t record in any supplied format

[Eugene Roskin]

ubuntu 11.04 x64
Tibesti 1.2.8
I has tried most of presets, but after recording video duration for expample 1 min., and then pushing Stop Recording, Tibesti show Please Wait!! Finalizing Recording but nothing happens, it doesn`t stops and don`t create a output video file.

Thanks for telling me you're having a problem. I was able to do a quick check on my 11.04 system, which didn't turn up anything noticeable unfortunately.

Since that's the case, I need you to try a few things so I can know what's messing up. If you aren't using Unity or Classic Gnome, it would be useful to know what you're using (there's a bug in the underlying library I use that conflicts with Gnome Shell's Mutter interface, it may be showing up elsewhere). Also, in the Options window, could you try turning off the audio capturing (2 checkboxes, one for mic, one for audio out), that way we can see if the problem lies in the audio capture. Finally, could you open a Terminal, then run "tibesti" in the terminal (without the quotation marks) I log information and sometimes errors there, so something might show up that doesn't otherwise.

I`m Unity user.

Output in terminal with mic and audio out capture on:

And saving works fine w/o audio out and mic recording.

Same problem, and same traceback.

I'll need the output from the command "pactl list", what it does is list
your sound properties. Tibesti needs this info in order to know what to
record, but it isn't coming through at all. There may have been some cahnge
that broke it, if so I'll need to know the new format.

Indeed, I was trying to the debug the Pipeline file, the mic_pipe is not being initialized

The dump of pactl is attached

[Andrew Sellers (ackondro)]

Well there's the problem, pactl is giving partial Spanish, and tibesti only
knows the English names. I didn't expect to run into this. It won't be hard
to fix, give me a day or two.

Thanks @Andrew, If you point me the code where this affecting, I will be glad to take a look and fix that.

[Andrew Sellers (ackondro)]

They will be in the AudioPipeline.py file in the tibesti folder. There's
speaker_source and microphone_source methods that do some commands.getoutput
trickery to pull out the correct "Sink" and "Source". Figure out the Spanish
analogues and that should be it.

[Andrew Sellers (ackondro)]

There is a version at http://ubuntuone.com/p/15JI/ that hopefully fixes this
issue. The version number is off, but it should be up to date with
everything. If it works I'll push out an official version in a few days.

Same result.

Can you send me the diff to give it a look to, it will be more easy for my to debug it.

@Andre I made a diff on the source code, and see no changes.

    $ diff /usr/share/pyshared/tibesti .
    $

Maybe you upload the wrong .de

[Mario César Señoranis (mariocesar)]

@Andrew Look a this, could be a more robust fix

You can redefine a enviroment variable at the start of any command LANG=C, this will affect just that command.

[Mario César Señoranis (mariocesar)]

Success!

I attach a patch with the change, I made a video and it's working perfectly

I'll fix that this evening, I should have thought about that. That's the
right way to do it.
