WEB.conf - playback

[OlliL]

Hi,

is anyone able to playback Web streams? Regular files (movies and audio) works perfectly fine. Now I wanted to try out Webstreams but somehow, UMS gets my path seperator wrong here...

Code: Select all

Hi OlliL, can you please attach full logs?

[OlliL]

Why do you think a complete logfile would help here? A quick look into the sourcecode would show that the code is kinda wrong:

encoders/FFmpegWebVideo.java:

Code: Select all

                cmdList.add(executable().replace("/", "\\\\"));

All my nice slashes are replaced here with backslashes. This might work on Windows but not on at least FreeBSD + OpenJDK - I guess Linux the same.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/ap ... /File.html -> pathSeparator should be used instead of a hardcoded one.

Good catch, even if your "quick look" took 3+ weeks . That line crept in last spring it seems, do you want to submit a patch?

It hasn't come up before probably because other linux users (e.g myself) don't set a full path to ffmpeg, which would be the obvious workaround for you until it's fixed. To use your system ffmpeg remove/rename the UMS ffmpeg binary.
