I've put together a short script that might assist with launching ffmpeg/avconv. It draws from earlier scripts posted on the main iPlayer thread over the last few days.
The script will run one of ffmpeg or avconv, whichever is found. ffmpeg is the first tried. It also includes a curious (to me) 'broken pipe' catcher that resolves the problems I had suffered from with older versions of ffmpeg not dieing out when they should. I still don't know why this works, but it is working on my stock Debian Squeeze system on SheevaPlug (arm5tel). I'd try it on my Raspbian Pi, but I don't have LMS set up for it. There may yet be errors in it, I am strictly a hackateur, but it might be helpful, in some form or other. And if any perl/linux guru can tell me why the 'pipe catcher' works, I'm all ears ! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: ffmpeg_LMS_wrapper_v2.txt | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17410| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103158 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
