Thanks Greg for your detailed response. It appears am trying to install the core and CA on the same machine. I will do a seperate installation for it now. concerning the capture, what configuration settings should I use to capture both the video and audio when setting up the capture agent. I will also prefer that the video format should be in mp4 and the audio in mp3. Can I achieve this during set-up or do I need to create a new workflow and encoding. from my understanding mp2 captures both the video and audio.

Unfortunately the European are likely asleep, and there aren't a huge number of North American devs. Responses can take a day or two on list. There is also an IRC channel at #opencast on freenode for live support and chat, assuming people are around. > ________________________________ > From: adeseye a.

A few questions: 1. Are you installing a CA on your core? Or is this a separate machine? 2. Your log appears to be from the CA, but the config files you attached are labelled CORE. They appear to be from a CA, so are they just a tad mislabelled? It's not recommended to install a full CA on a core. This will more than likely mangle the config files quite badly if you use the install script. I'm going to operate on the assumption that this is all on the CA, and the core is somewhere else. In this case your configuration files are incorrect, which explains the log messages you are seeing. config.properties: org.opencastproject.server.url is the URL to the current host. For instance http://my_ca:8080 and http://my_core:8080, which I will use in the rest of this email. Your CA's config file should contain the former example, your core's config file should contain the latter. org.opencastproject.capture.impl.ConfigurationManager.properties: org.opencastproject.capture.core.url is the URL of the core which this CA should talk to. This should be the same as the value of org.opencastproject.server.url in your core's config.properties file. Also, your device configuration at the bottom of this config file is badly mangled. It appears you removed the name of the device itself, which means that your CA will not be able to capture properly. The bottom five lines should look like this (replace my_device with whatever friendly name you want to use): capture.device.my_device.src=hw: capture.device.my_device.outputfile=.mp2 capture.device.my_device.flavor=presenter/source capture.device.my_device.buffer.bytes=536870912 capture.device.names=my_device Just a warning, the above configuration will only capture the audio input. It has no video inputs defined, which may or may not be what you want! G ________________________________ From: adeseye a.

The URL http://localhost:8080/engage/ui and http://localhost:8080/admin/ which signifies the go to admin tools and go to media modules respectively display an http error 404. also clicking on the Go to Capture and clicking start capturing displays the error "There was a problem starting your capture, please check the logs". the log file is attached and the cofiguration of both the Core. Am not sure which directory to check to get the configuration file of the CA. the core files where copied from the directory /opt/matterhorn/felix/conf. can anyone please help resolve this issue. thanks
