(SOLVED) MythStreamTV Question

[kwisher]

Hello All,

I have installed MythStreamTV using the instructions here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... thstreamtv) and using the attached file. When I try to start the stream from Mythweb I receive the following error : An unknown module was specified.

I see some errors from the install script. I have include the text from the terminal.

Clearly you are missing files in
/usr/share/mythtv/mythstreamtv/

run:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/share/mythtv/mythstreamtv

And show us the output.

That's bizzare!

The files are there. Have you run it again ? Maybe they have since been installed ..

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/share/mythstreamtv/mythstreamtvactive.sh

Is it really there ? I have copied and paste to make sure there is not typo.

Investigate those files and that installer you are running..

[mikeh]

Never used mythstreamtv but from the looks of your errors it seems that it is trying to copy the files into various directories in /usr/share/mythtv

The ls listing you produced shows the files in the target directory, but they are all zero bytes in size.

Are you running the install script as root?

I installed using sudo as the how-to instructed. After I read your post I installed again as root. Same results. Any other suggestions?

[mikeh]

So did you do this from the terminal after downloading the file. (I apologize if this is exactly how you did it, but I want to make sure).

Code: Select all

cd /
sudo tar -xzvf <path_to_package>/mythstreamtv_1.30-11-amk.tar.gz
cd /usr/share/mythstreamtv
sudo nano ./install.sh  (make your edits and save)
sudo ./install.sh

I am wondering if you did the tar from the root of your file system. Just by untaring the gz file from root you should have the /usr/share/mythstreamtv directory populated with the files you listed in a previous post, but they shouldn't be zero byte.

No I did not. I downloaded and uncompressed to my desktop and installed from there via the terminal. I wasn't sure it was safe to do anything in the /root folder.

[mikeh]

Shouldn't be a problem. Doing the untar from / will put all the files in the proper location. It won't kill anything. The only thing it will do is overwrite those zero byte files which you want anyways.

I would do the install as they list and see if that solves your problem. Hopefully that will do it!

[kwisher]

That was the solution. Thanks so much for your help. I guess next time I will follow the instructions exactly as they are written.

[mikeh]

Glad that was it!
