Many thanks for this. I've given it to go.
I'm finding that ffmpeg won't work with the options specified in the
custom-convert.conf :
Code:
--------------------
[playhls.sh] -loglevel quiet -nostdin -i $FILE$ -f wav - | [lame]
--silent -q $QUALITY$ $BITRATE$ - -
--------------------
the -nostidin option seems to be the culprit. I removed that and it
worked. I'm not sure if that is important or not, as I think that
prevent ffmpeg looking for user input but we may be doing that in the
playhls shell script any away.
Unfortunately ffmpeg was still refusing to end.
looking at the script it kills the processes with PID written as part of
a file to the tmp folder
Code:
--------------------
apppid=/tmp/.playhls-app.$$.pid-
--------------------
Code:
--------------------
kill -9 `cat $apppid` 2> /dev/null
--------------------
If I look in my tmp folder these files are there :
Code:
--------------------
root@squeezeplug:/tmp# ls -a
. .. .ICE-unix .playhls-app.2357.pid .playhls-app.2363.pid
.playhls-app.2402.pid .X11-unix
--------------------
As you can see there are multiple files, so I don't think its getting to
the point where the ffmpeg is ending and removing the files.
If i manually kill one of the pids in one of the files, it works. So
I'm not quite sure what's happeing there, I am guessing that the
"-nostdin" is important.
