Finally. } </code> Basically its not getting any data in if you get that error. first off, check your start.sh file and verify you have the correct URL and mount point specified (the one you listen to on the icecast server to confirm it works). One of my friends was getting the exact same problem, but he had left the mountpoint out of the start.sh file (so he had http://server.com:8000/ instead of http://server.com:8000/hismountpoint.ogg) Let me know if that doesnt sort it out :) If you get the ‘bailing’ error, the bit of code that produces that is this


sub error_alarm {
print STDERR "$progname: timeout: $timeout seconds with no data!\n";
print STDERR "$progname: bailing!\n";
kill 9, $parent_pid; # Send KILL to self. Finally.
}

However, no matter what I do when I run the oggtoshout program, it connects, but then closes after 10 seconds with the "bailing!" error. So basically I don't know if it is connecting to the source stream or if it is sending it to the end stream. During the period between it starting and auto-killing itself I can connect to the shoutcast server. After it kills itself I get the "service unnavailable" error. Any thoughts? Hey there,

To being troubleshooting, id recommend first connecting to your Icecast server directly using a media player, verifying there is audio available on the stream you are grabbing. If thats the case, do a netstat to ensure ogg123 is connecting to your icecast server and grabbing audio. ps auwx can check to ensure lame is running and higher cpu use should indicate it is transcoding. Let me know how you get on. p.s, where was the typo? ;) Thats a bit strange its working in production for me, we have been running it for over a year with daily use.

I did have a go with it some time ago when using the server as a frontend also but didnt get very far. I did some digging on the mythtv home page and found similar cards from kworld are not supported in the kernel yet. It may be worth putting a support request into ubuntu via launchpad Hi,

Meaning you are supposed to only be able to watch ITVHD when you see the red button in the top right of the screen while watching regular ITVHD - hence the hassle to even get it running as a separate channel in mythtv. ITV HD therefore has no guide data OTA. ITVHD is an exact replica of regular ITV (when ITVHD is broadcasting), so the guid is exactly the same. Ill do some digging to see if there is a way to tell myth to associate guide data for ITV with ITVHD and posit it back on this blog if its possible. Hi Paul,

Do you use the little grey flat remote that came with the PlusTv DVB-S card? If you do it would be a great help if you could paste your lirc.conf Cheers Great Article saved me so much time,
