Support / Re: Running PVD in Linux Using Wine
« on: September 03, 2011, 02:19:25 am »
I'm guessing from reading that Wine, by default, doesn't know what to do when commanded to open a movie file.  I'm trying to figure out how to do this but am having a lot of trouble.  I guess it has nothing to do with PVD, but if anyone knows how to do this, I'd really appreciate the help.

Support / Running PVD in Linux Using Wine
« on: September 01, 2011, 03:47:32 am »
I have read an old post that mentioned running PVD on Linux using Wine.  I myself have been making the switch to Linux.  I am running PVD 0.9.9.21 and am using Ubuntu 11.04.  Using Wine, I can install, run, and load my database just fine.  I can also add new movies and cover images just fine.  However, it seems that when I try to run "Play" right from PVD, nothing seems to happen and the video file never opens the media player.  I've also set Wine to emulate Windows 98 with no luck from that change (even after a reboot).  I know the file is mapped correctly because I set up a new movie entry and selected the file.

Any ideas what might cause this or insight if any of you have gotten this to work?

I just wanted to give an update.

I haven't used PVD for some time due to the automatic screenshot maker not working (and haven't used my pc much at all).  About a week or so ago I ran PVD again, downloaded a bunch of automatic updates for it and the automatic screenshot maker has began working again for me.  I don't know what fixed it but I haven't done any changes since it stopped working before.  Perhaps it was something in the updates.

Yes, it happens every time I try to use automatic screenshots.  It always leave FFmpeg running and never creates screenshots that appear in PVD.  It just seems that I click "automatically create screenshots", FFmpeg starts up, and after a few seconds uses 0% cpu, and then nothing.  If I let it run it will never do anything beyond sitting there.   I then have to stop the FFmpeg and viddb process.  Any ideas what could be causing this?  Is this perhaps a bug in PVD?

I am using FFmpeg for screenshots.  I have downloaded the latest FFmpeg.exe from your link but I have the same issue.  It seems that since the latest update I have been having this issue.  I have a lot of screenshots made already but when I tried to add an episode to PVD and create automatic screenshots, that's when I noticed the problem.  Is there something else I should check?

I've seen this problem posted before but I seem to be having the same issue.  Whenever I click on "Create Automatic Screenshots", ffmpeg starts up for a few seconds and then stops.  PVD still reads that it is trying to create screenshots for a movie but never finishes.  I then have to force ffmpeg and viddb.exe to stop.  I've tried un-installing and re-installing PVD, downloading the new K-Lite codec pack but those didn't seem to work.  Also, taking manual screenshots works fine in PVD.

Has anyone figured out what exactly fixed this issue?  I'm guessing it might be an ffmpeg issue.

I'm using PVD 0.9.9.21 and Windows XP.
