Code: Select all

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "tsMuxeR": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
Ensure you have tsMuxeR (typically $UMS_HOME/Linux/tsMuxeR) or disable via UMS.conf

Code: Select all

mencoder_mux_compatible = false

Set anything with "tsmuxer" in the setting name to false. Also, does the file work with FFmpeg (assumes v1.4.0; set hide_transcode_folder = false; hide_enginenames = false; look for the ffmpeg option inside #transcode folder of file to be played). Of course restart UMS after any UMS.conf changes (just to be sure).

Hi,

I've got NullPointerException when trying to transcode video files.

I use UMS on Ubuntu server 12.04 (32bit) patched with latest fixes using apt-get dist-upgrade. I run UMS 2.2.2 in headless mode, and I try to stream media files to Samsung AllShare. Everything works fine with those file types that are supported by the TV (those files that could be played from a pendrive as well).

But when it comes to other file types (e.g. WMV), the TV says "Not supported file type". At the same time there's the Java exception in debug log.

I've tried to disable MEncoder from UMS.conf to see if the problem is specific to that encoder, but then the NullPointerException came from TSMuxerVideo...

Could anyone help how to solve this?

Thanks!

I too am having issues with Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64. No transcoding option I try seems to work.

Which version of java are you using?

My suggestion is to get rid of OpenJDK and install Oracle Java, OpenJDK doesn't play nice with some java apps.

Most every Linux distro uses OpenJDK... it'd make sense to target being compatible with both. I'll try it and see.

Nope. Installed Oracle Java 7, cleared ~/.config/UMS. Still no go.
