Well, it might have been if I had posted the right attachments, looks like the joke is on me . Apologies but can you please rerun using these instead: jumpy-a3-testpan2.zip and ums-a3-update-testpan2.zip.

No worries

Nor progress . One more thing to try (with ums-a3-update-testpan2 active):

Third time's a charm.

Hi, I'm trying to get UMS and Jumpy working to stream Hulu from XBMC to my PS3, but having a few difficulties. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and XBMC 11.0, and Hulu works fine within XBMC. I'm using UMS-3.0.0-a3 and installed Jumpy 0.2.8 using the linux run file. I can view the folders of Hulu content on the PS3, but none of the videos will play. I've tried with and without update.jar in the same folder as ums.jar, and I've added the correct locations for python, rtmpdump and ffmpeg to the UMS.conf file. I also tried adding rtmpdump.force = true to the .conf, but that didn't make any difference. Logs are attached.

I also tried using UMS-2.6.5 with pmsencoder-1.6.3, but couldn't get that to work either (although it gave a different error on the PS3). I can attach the logs from that attempt too if it will help. I'm out of ideas now and can't find any more info on any of the threads, so hoping someone can help out? I'm fairly new to linux, apologies if I'm doing something stupid.

Thanks very much,
Rob

Are you sure? The log is still exploding and the Panasonic repeatedly requests batches starting at 0, 20, 80, and 100 but never 40 or 60.

The basic problem is that the current UMS linux ffmpeg binary no longer supports the rtmpe:// protocol which hulu uses (UMS used to provide a custom-built linux ffmpeg that included this support, but it seems to have switched recently to an off-the-shelf binary that doesn't). There are 2 solutions that come to mind:

• Quick
  • Use UMS-2.6.5 + pmsencoder 1.6.2 so rtmpdump will be invoked instead.
    • See here for optional additional instructions on getting pmsencoder to coexist with ffmpegwebvideo.
• Comprehensive
  • Use UMS-3.0.0-a3 + update.jar along with your own custom build of ffmpeg. If you want to go this route add the following options to the given ffmpeg configure command:
    • --enable-librtmp
    • --enable-libfreetype - you may have to install it first:

      Code: Select all

      sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried both methods you suggested, and neither are working. Both come back with an error saying "There is no inputstream to return" in the UMS log. Could it be related to the fact that I'm using Overplay SmartDNS to get around the geo-restriction? It works fine in XBMC though. I also tried using a VPN instead of DNS, but the error was the same. Logs are attached.

I meant that as a hopeful remark , the listing problem persists.

UMS is still finding its own ffmpeg rather than your new one at playback, so

• remove/rename ffmpeg in the top UMS folder and try again.
• if still no joy set ffmpeg_path explicitly in UMS.conf, something like

  Code: Select all

  ffmpeg_path=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
