This patch adds the ability for MediaTomb to transcode audio files (e.g. FLAC) to PCM. This is especially useful for UPnP clients that have limited codec support i.e. PlayStation 3 The patch was taken from MediaTomb SVN r1821 which was committed some 10 months ago. I have been using the patch since then and have had no issues with it. The MediaTomb devs also reviewed it and gave it the all clear. The next MediaTomb release 0.12.0 will have this fix, but I doubt it will be released anytime soon since the devs are distracted by other things at the moment :) Sine I mentioned this patch on the Gentoo Forums many users have contacted me directly requesting it. I hope by adding it to Portage it will make things much easier for everyone. Reproducible: Always

I wonder if it's not easier to simply snapshot mediatomb from svn...
(In reply to comment #2) > I wonder if it's not easier to simply snapshot mediatomb from svn... I agree :) I will shortly attach a snapshot based on my SVN ebuild. It also comes with a better default config.xml which will make setting up MediaTomb a lot easier for users.
Created attachment 186808 [details] mediatomb svn ebuild This is just the SVN ebuild as I wasn't sure how to deal with there being no snapshot tarball.
Created attachment 186811 [details] mediatomb config This config.xml has good defaults for transcoding, thumbnailer, apple trailers and youtube.
I will just wait for MediaTomb 0.12.0 so I'm closing this bug.
I actually would like to add this to portage asap, just having a bit of a hard time to find time to get around it :/
(In reply to comment #7) > I actually would like to add this to portage asap, just having a bit of a hard > time to find time to get around it :/ No problem :) I closed it since all I was really after was PCM support for stable 0.11.0. Although SVN is very stable some features like DVD image parsing don't work too well, so I didn't want to add any further stress to the MediaTomb devs by adding this. However since I help out on their irc and forums it should be okay ;)
Created attachment 188434 [details] mediatomb config Minor update that enables PS3 compatibility.
Created attachment 191770 [details] mediatomb svn ebuild Updated ebuild with the following changes. 1. Reworded the MySQL elog section in pkg_post inst() so that it no longer refers to specific numbered sections in the MediaTomb documentation as they are likely to change with every release. 2. Replaced the MEDIATOMB_HOMEDIR, MEDIATOMB_CONFDIR and MEDIATOMB_PIDDIR variables with hard-coded values as there isn't any benefit to having these values stored as variables. 3. No longer create the /var/run/mediatomb directory in src_install() as this is a limitation of 0.11.0 which dropped privileges before it could create the PID file. This will also require an updated mediatomb.confd file and a 0.11.0 revision bump which seds the location of the PID file that it needs. This will then allow for a smooth upgrade once 0.11.0 is eventually removed from the tree.

Any progress here? Last.fm lib is now in portage tree. It would be nice to have proper use flag in mediatomb-svn ebuild. I remember that there were patch to use last.fm lib in mediatomb...? Also new media-libs/libmp4v2-1.9.0 seems to broke mp4 support in svn ebuild...
Created attachment 201501 [details] mediatomb svn ebuild Updated ebuild with the following changes. 1. Ebuild now uses EAPI 2 USE deps for FFmpeg and FFmpegThumbnailer. 2. Renamed ffmpegthumbnailer USE to thumbnail. This makes it consistent with most other ebuilds that specify a USE flag for thumbnailers. 3. FFmpeg is no longer optional. Since the new config.xml comes with a working transcoding section that uses FFmpeg, it makes sense to have it installed. FFmpeg is also used for metadata extraction and FourCC detection so it's quite useful to have it enabled.
Created attachment 201502 [details] mediatomb config Updated config.xml which adds -threads 2 to the FFmpeg transcoding profiles.

I remember that there were patch to > use last.fm lib in mediatomb...? This patch was created by the author of lastfmlib and posted to the MediaTomb forum so it's not even in SVN. The MediaTomb devs said they will take a look at it, but since they won't be working on MediaTomb for at least the rest of the year, don't expect to see any progress on last.fm support. > Also new media-libs/libmp4v2-1.9.0 seems to broke mp4 support in svn ebuild... This is a known issue and from what I understand needs to be fixed by upstream. In the meantime you can build MediaTomb with -mp4 to get around this issue.
Created attachment 201518 [details] mediatomb svn ebuild Reverted the forced FFmpeg dependency after getting some emails about this. It's entirely possible to build MediaTomb without FFmpeg support and not require transcoding as well.
Created attachment 201520 [details] mediatomb config Removed the -threads option from the audio transcoding profile since it has no effect.

(In reply to comment #25) > Created an attachment (id=203013) [edit] > Live Ebuild > > Updated ebuild to keep QA happy > The line in this ebuild that reads "eautoreconf" needs to be "eautoreconf -i" for the current svn to work correctly. As it needs to copy missing auxiliary files. If an updated ebuild needs to uploaded for this change let me know and i can.

Created attachment 213259 [details] mediatomb svn ebuild Updated ebuild to fix issue reported in comment #26. This issue was actually caused by eautoreconf running in ${DISTDIR}/svn-src/mediatomb/mediatomb instead of ${S} and not a missing -i to eautoreconf as suggested in comment #26.

Upstream has now fixed libmp4v2 support so need for hacks anymore :)

(In reply to comment #33) It appears you have added a bunch sed's throughout the ebuild but they have all been commented out. Furthermore upstream has already fixed the libmp4v2 issue and configure.ac now searches for and finds mp4v2.h.
Created attachment 215220 [details] mediatomb svn ebuild Add last.fm support. Since I do not use last.fm could somebody please test this feature and report back?

I have opened bug #299686 and requested a version bump. In the meantime you can just copy the 0.3.0 ebuild to lastfmlib-0.4.0.ebuild and it should work.

i can confirm that lastfm works in my setup. thanks!

Created attachment 225393 [details] mediatomb 0.12.0 ebuild MediaTomb 0.12.0 has been released. You can read the changelog here: http://mediatomb.cc/changelog.txt Changes in 0.12.0 ebuild: - Removal of apple trailers support since it no longer works. - Map .oga and .ogv extensions to audio/ogg and video/ogg mimetypes respectively. The previous behavior was to map .ogg to application/ogg. If you have any files with .ogg extensions you should rename them appropriately. I strongly suggest you clear and rebuild the database to ensure the new mimetypes are correctly set. This is a decision made by upstream.

Ok, great. We now have 0.12.0 in the tree. Thanks, BT, for the help. Any new issues belong in new bug reports. Thanks.
