Where is ssc-script.so ?

[Breepee]

I tried installing mt-daapd with transcoding all morning, first the latest official release as deb, then compiled it myself with the proper flags, then SVN1441, but still no succes.

I think I need the file ssc-script.so with the latest SVN release (1441), but where is it? I need to point to it in the config.

Thanks!

dpkg -L mt-daapd

… but I’d guess /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins. Might just use the contrib config. If you’ve upgraded from an old version, your config is likely well out of date.

I downloaded the tar and there is the .c included but after compiling I can’t find the .so anywhere, I searched the whole system and in the probable places.

well are you sure you compiled with the correct options?

its –enable-ssc or so, iirc 😉

after you compile it gets stuck in src/plugins/.libs, and gets installed to $pkgdatadir/plugins, which is arguably wrong, but is either /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins or /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/plugins depending on the prefix you used.

Did you do a make install, or just make and copy?

[Breepee]

configure, with flac, ogg and sqlite
make
make install

but I didn’t do –enable-ssc, will this fix it?

[Breepee]

OK, I compiled it with –enable-ssc. Seems OK, the ssc-script.so is there now, but still the config file checks out bad. It is basically the original file, with the path to webadmin and the music corrected, server name and extensions (.mp3,.flac,.ogg) changed and these lines added at the end:

plugin_dir = /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/plugins
plugins = ssc-script.so
ssc_prog /usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh
ssc_codectypes flac,ogg

What’s wrong?

What does it say is wrong?

the keys and values should generally be in

x=y

form in the new config format. The ssc* stuff goes in the [general] section, and the plugin stuff goes in the [plugin] section.

Try using the template config, your config looks to be a 0.2.4 one, or use your old 0.2.4 one and add the plugin stuff via the web interface — that will upgrade your config to the new format.

Using the ‘new’ template as a base fixed it all. Thanks for the help!

Still a few problems: Ogg transcoding doesn’t work and some files aren’t detected while they should (mt-daapd found ~8500 tracks, while there are 10500 in the folder I pointed to). Any thoughts?

See if you can determine a file that isn’t in there. Once you find it take a close look at the file — it’s not in the library for one of two reasons. Either the extension isn’t in your extensions list, or because the permissions don’t allow the “runas” user to open it with read access.

For ogg transcoding:

1. Make sure you have oggdec installed
2. Put a full path to oggdec in your ssc script (look at your config to find where the script it)
3. Make sure you have “ogg” in you transcode codecs
