Mediaserv on Fedora core 8

Installing mediaserv on Fedora 8 is simple, but doesn’t work exactly like mediaserv Readme indicates. Here are the few steps needed to make it work.

To install all the needed mplayer/mencoder-packages, you might need the livna repository.

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

After that, all the transcoding and xml-stuff are installed.

yum install mencoder mplayer perl-XML-RSS

That last part perl-XML-RSS is the trick. This is because Fedora 8 doesn’t seem to like perl MCPAN, but instead uses yum to install all the needed perl dependencies.

After this just run the install.sh script and make all the needed changes to the ~/mediaserv/config and you’re good to go.

Both tablet-encode script and mediaserv can be downloaded here. Thanks for the great program!

ps. If you try to use the encoders “best” option, all the streaming fun is a no-go with atleast my n800’s built-in mediaplayer. “good” works just fine.
