1. Fixed: OGG input plugin.

19.0.85-1 (12/3/2013)

1. Faster: Drawing from an internal image to the screen is much faster (requires 0 memory manipulations before draw; previously required two copies before draw).

mediacenter19: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I installed .90 and I don't have the problem. I checked this library, and I think its all installed.

Edit: indeed, it now wants the i386 version.

Sorry yes I should have mentioned the uuid requirement in the history.
The way to figure this out is:
If it's using a library, it must be i386.
If it's an executable (lame, oggenc) it can be either i386 or amd64.

Will MediaCenter eventually tell apt which dependencies it needs so that everything installs without having to fiddle with it ourselves?

Importing media files with long file names fails. ---> "File name to long".
However, mediacenter 17 running in an  VMware environment, has no problems with this files.
The file directory and name was generated out of artist, album, track#, track name, so it might get long! (>256 char). 

[InflatableMouse]

I had the same thing, but I believe its an OS limitation rather than MC. I just renamed the files .

Still though, locally other programs including the terminal (cp/mv) could handle the files just fine. I don't know enough of Linux to understand how this works yet.

Well, I can play those files with any other linux based player, so it might not be OS limited. Even with MC under windows, I can play these files (via samba) or running windows in an virtual environment. (same file, same location on disk). I think, the database field is limited, so it can't hold the entire name.

In addition, according to definition of the ext4 file system , the file name can be up to 255 char, the path name has no limitations. In my example, the path name is 88, the file name 176 char.  There should be no problem, to handle this.

It does already except for the libuuid1 which I just added and the fonts. The fonts are problematic, every time I try to add them to Required: things don't work the way they should so I put them into Recommended:

We'll have to check across the other common filesystems.
I've used jfs, xfs, etx3 as well as ext4. I suppose we'll have to take nfs into account as well.

Like if you add a field to display, like bitrate?
I can't seem to get this to happen.

I added the "command" and when I leave the window, it might crash, or it doesn't. It happened three times (logfile) after adding the field at the far right end.

I use nfs in all cases (VMware + Windows, Mediacenter and linux, and mediaplayer).

What skin are you using?
Full screen or windowed?
Can you take a screenshot just before you do the thing that makes it crash?

The file directory and name was generated out of artist, album, track#, track name, so it might get long! (>256 char). 

I just moved the file to a location near the directory-root and then, I can import it. You save the path, file name, and sum (path+filename) in the database as a seperate field. I think, there is the bunny, because summing up those two "filename(name)" and "filename(path)" strings might overrun the max length of the field "Filename".

The filesystem doesn't limit the filepath length in linux but but the OS does. The maxpath length in linux is 4096.
The dos length of 260 was being used. This will be changed to 4096 in the next build.

For openSuse users, you'll need to do a:

sudo zypper install libcryptopp-5_6_2-0-32bit
and then set up a symlink in /usr/lib

Mike...Exactly what symlinks did you create? 

[bob]

If you do ldd on the some of the shared libraries you'll see these 2

libcrypto++.so.9 => /usr/lib/libcrypto++.so.9
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libuuid.so.1       

I'm not the expert on this topic but I'd think if you'd take care of these two you'd be in business.
