Some pointers - I also have this running on (a much older version of..) Ubuntu Server. I'm assuming you have an Intel/AMD based system and are running the Desktop version of Ubuntu, so some of this may be a bit alien, but let's see where it gets to...
1) open a command prompt and type "ps" (no quotes)- do you get a result? 2) ditto for mplayer. If so then you have them installed and in the path. Haven't any idea what ps is, but it seems to be installed on my system. 3) There are i386 binaries for getstream and ts2radio within the package. Use the new (recently posted) version of ts2radio to get the correct metadata, and move both binaries into the /usr/bin directory. Ensure both have Execute permissions via chmod uga+x. 4) you will probably need to install the libevent1 package for getstream to function, and may well need to create a symlink for the library name requested by getstream to the equivalent library installed by the Ubuntu libevent1 package. I used the nearest looking match and it seems to work(!). If the library isn't available then getstream spits out lots of messages calling for it, so you should be able to figure out what it wants. 5) Edit dvbserver.pl to reflect your config - if your Nova-T is the only tuner in the system then it is likely to have a card id of "0". If streaming direct MP2 / 48kHz then uncomment the line near the end of the header block which caters for "direct" MP2 streaming and comment the line above which pipes via LAME. You need to add a "PID" parameter to the end of the line you just uncommented (just before the final double quote) to get sound out of the thing... Resource utilisation is MUCH lower when using direct streaming. 6) If using direct MP2 (as above) then I don't think it ever tries to call mplayer - so you may not need to mess with it. Have you looked at dvbserver.pl lines 522 & 525 to figure out what it's trying to do? 7) to run with debug turned on just use "dvbserver.pl -d" as your command. All this is from memory (I'm still at work) but after a bit of pushing and shoving you should be able to get it working. Results good for me so far...
