* What led up to the situation? Attempting to convert a stream to an MP3 file $ vlc VLC media player 2.1.2 Rincewind (revision 2.1.2-0-ga4c4876) [0x7130b8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [0x7fbc7c002218] access_output_file access out error: cannot create : No such file or directory [0x7fbc7c001358] stream_out_standard stream out error: no suitable sout access module for `file{no-overwrite}/ts://(null)' [0x7fbc7c000cc8] main stream output error: stream chain failed for `transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=320,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=file{no-overwrite},mux=ts,dst=''}' [0x7fbc840009b8] main input error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? The errors above happened when I did not specify an output file name. When I did specify an output file name I received the error: access_output_file access out error: cannot create /home/amarsh04/2014-01-15-test-again.ts: File exists [0x7f2844c25a18] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (63 Kib/s) [0x7f2844c25a18] access_mms access: connection successful vlc claimed about a file with extension .ts already existed, even though I had specified a unique filename ending in mp3 for an MP3 audio file, as the stream was audio only. When I specified overwrite, vlc wrote a file with extension .ts. mediainfo reported: $ mediainfo ~/2014-01-15-*ts General ID : 51929 (0xCAD9) Complete name : /home/amarsh04/2014-01-15-test-again.ts Format : MPEG-TS File size : 12.2 MiB Duration : 4mn 45s Overall bit rate mode : Variable Overall bit rate : 360 Kbps Audio ID : 68 (0x44) Menu ID : 1 (0x1) Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 3 Mode : Joint stereo Mode extension : MS Stereo Codec ID : 3 Duration : 4mn 45s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 320 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 10.9 MiB (89%) Writing library : LAME3.99.5 Language : Japanese although I only wanted to create an audio MP3 file. * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? vlc to give an error message if no output file was mentioned, and to give the option to save only audio in an audio format. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-rc8+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.6 ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-1 ii libaa1 1.4p5-41 ii libavcodec54 6:9.10-2 ii libavutil52 6:9.10-2 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta18-1 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1 ii libfribidi0 0.19.6-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9-20140111-1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.0.1-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.5+git209-g718fae5+dfsg-1 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.5+git209-g718fae5+dfsg-1 ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.12-5+b1 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-8 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libstdc++6 4.9-20140111-1 ii libtar0 1.2.20-1 ii libva-x11-1 1.2.1-2 ii libva1 1.2.1-2 ii libvlccore7 2.1.2-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii libxcb-composite0 1.10-2 ii libxcb-keysyms1 0.3.9-1 ii libxcb-randr0 1.10-2 ii libxcb-render0 1.10-2 ii libxcb-shape0 1.10-2 ii libxcb-shm0 1.10-2 ii libxcb-xfixes0 1.10-2 ii libxcb-xv0 1.10-2 ii libxcb1 1.10-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.10-1 ii vlc-nox 2.1.2-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages vlc recommends: ii vlc-plugin-notify 2.1.2-2 pn vlc-plugin-pulse <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7 Versions of packages vlc suggests: ii videolan-doc 20070626-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
