    the binary is a new build of the player and not the server….please fix it :)

  2. Administrator 25 February 2006 at 18:52 #

    Nope, the server is included in the source tarball.

    but how to get the gui working? i see there just the pmp_server.py and it doesnt start :(

  4. Administrator 25 February 2006 at 20:41 #

    You need Qt and PyQt packages installed. Shouldn’t be a problem on any common linux distro, to pull these packages. Windows user need to get Qt eval from Trolltech website and also need PyQt Windows installer from Riverbank Software.

    Any more info for us windows users. How to run the server when having Qt eval and PyQT? Isnt there some easier way to stream from windows? Possible to use VLC?

    can’t use vlc, it doesn’t support pmp encapsulation

    I think we need a little tutorial for us windows guys who are gaving a hard time getting the GUI server to run

  8. Djakku 26 February 2006 at 14:45 #

    besides the gui, are there any modifications made to the the code? I mean have it been optimized or it’s just that a GUI has been added?

    Downloaded & installed the Qt (v4.1.1.) and PyQt packages. When attempting to run the “pmp_server.py” it is requesting “qt-mteval335.dll” – the only version for Dload for windows is v4.1.1. & cannot find version 3.3.5 for windows.
    Any suggestions?

    Ive digged up a bit info on this. U dont need that stuff really, check out http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=18902 . Its a good guide there. All u need is python, and theres a link for a good one there too.

    And another thing, I forgot.. the new server doesnt work.. im too lazy to get u the error message, but i downloaded an older version of the pmp_server.py .. (from this site) .. then after i edited the folder for movies in the file, i just double-click and it works perfectly. Doesnt have a nice gui .. but wth :p

  12. Giskard2k4 26 February 2006 at 23:28 #

    Hey Venin…too lazy to figure out this is old news…..we know this already…The GUI is a step FORWARD….try & keep up.

  13. Venin 27 February 2006 at 16:34 #

    Not everyone knew this, thats why i posted, if u already know it dont read it..

    Any recomendation to convert avi files to pmp under linux?

    I can only find windows converters… :(

    [/OFFTOPIC]

  15. Administrator 6 March 2006 at 11:15 #

    Yeah, you can use ffmpeg.


    ffmpeg -y -i in.avi -s 480x272 -r 25 -b 768 -an -vcodec "xvid" out.avi
    ffmpeg -y -i in.avi -acodec "mp3" -ab 128 -ar 44100 -vn out.mp3
    perl pmp_muxer.pl out.avi out.mp3 output.pmp

  16. Me 6 March 2006 at 16:04 #

    Oh! Nice, Ive tried before but my problem was that the ffmpeg ubuntu package didnt support xvid, ive installed the newer version and everything OK.

    Would be nice a frontend to do this for beginer users. :P

  17. Administrator 6 March 2006 at 16:27 #

    yes, but aleast a made a wrapper script for it which can handle mp4 und pmp encoding.

  18. Me 6 March 2006 at 16:48 #

    Only 1 thing more, Ive done the conversion and also the mux correctly as you said but the psp_mod is unable to read the file like i had not done it correctly.

    Are u sure these are the correct conversion instructions?

  19. Administrator 6 March 2006 at 18:30 #

    Yes, it should work. Did you use my python script for the conversion ?

  20. Me 6 March 2006 at 22:46 #

    I cant use it cause when it finishes the conversion it tries to mount my psp, it fails and i lose all conversion. :S

    I dont want to mount my psp or save the file inside it, i only want to convert the file. :S

  21. Administrator 6 March 2006 at 23:06 #

    You have to leave out the -c switch which does an cleanup in the target psp dir.
    But the scripts always wants to copy the resulting files to the psp. I should add an ‘nocopy’ flag to that tool…

  22. Me 6 March 2006 at 23:11 #

    Ive realized that it delete my original avi file and remplace it with the muxed one O_o (I lost my original avi :O), also Id be nice to have the possibility to convert the file with lower frames or something like that, i cant watch it propertly with my home wireless.

    admin,

    any chance of writing a little guide on how to get the python server gui running?

  24. Pete 18 March 2006 at 21:19 #

    I know this isn’t anything to do with the GUI, but is it possible to get the server to encode video on the fly? Although it wouldn’t be hard to batch convert them all, having to convert them is a drag.

    So, is there any way to make the server encode the video into the .pmp format while the psp is watching?

  25. a desprate psp owner 29 May 2006 at 03:16 #

    Well.. I cant download it.. I get a error 404 so im skrewed

  26. Administrator 30 May 2006 at 12:05 #

    fixed the dl link.

  27. Brad 19 November 2008 at 07:55 #

    It keeps getting stuck on 2 out of 4 on the connection part when i use a static connection and 3 out of 4 when i don’t. It does this every time. Any ideas on how to fix this? Im running Custom Firmware 4.01 M33-2
