1) Recently, my wife figured out that there were a ton of 80's videos on YouTube that she used to watch in highschool. So, she's trying to figure out how to get a copy that can play in other places than on the internet. Well, that turned out to be pretty easy to make an MPEG of those videos, and they play fine in Windows Media Player. I, on the other hand, am thinking that it would be neat to copy them to a video directory and make that available on MVPMC. But -- the video plays ok (sometimes it stops) and there is no audio. I've checked the audio menu, and there is only one stream, and it has the reddish square next to it, so I assume it's active (it's labbeled with "0x0C", as I remember). Any ideas? Is this a conversion process "bug" (ie, audio codec needs to be changed?)
2) To check this out, I copied another MPEG I had laying around out to the NFS share. It doesn't show up in the directory listing. I power off the device, and it didn't show up. I rebooted it, and it didn't show up. I even checked the one in the bedroom (which had been powered off for a while) just in case. Nothing. I'm guessing there's some funky NFS caching going on? Ideas?? (This is the only NFS share I have. Should I switch to a Samba/CIFS share?? Server is Linux, if that matters.)
Side note: links in /tftpboot are no good. :-)
If you keep getting "failed to connect to GUI server" (something like that), make sure you aren't linking the files. Make a physical copy.
Anyway, TIA!
