These packages probably have dependencies to Debian '''unstable''' packages.
Add the following to {{{ /etc/apt/sources.list }}}:
Ad d the following to {{{ /etc/apt/sources.list }}}:
{{{ deb http://linuxvideo.org/oms/data/debian/ ./ }}}
Note that as of 01/13/2001, /usr/doc/oms/README.Debian says that
the oms package is unusable !! ("to get familiar with Debian packaging...")
== RedHat ==
Yeah, ignore that. It's only maybe 70% true now. ;)
DENT: latest sources do allow RH-package building using 'make dist-rpm', so
stay tuned until we've found a maintainer for those packages - do you like to volunteer?

Please see OMS RPM Page [http://www.linuxvideo.org/oms/rpm/]

/!\ Binary tarballs are not yet available. Would you like to volunteer to maintain these?
= Source =
1. Install {{{libcss}}}, {{{oms}}}, and {{{omi}}} source (described below).
1. Make sure your library paths are setup to where you intend to install the libraries. (see description of this in problems section)
1. Install required packages according to OpenMediaInterface.
== Obtaining From CVS ==
{{{
# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxvideo.org:/cvs/livid
# cvs login (Just press Return when prompted for a password)
# cvs -z3 co module_name
}}}
Get modules {{{libcss}}}, {{{oms}}}, {{{omi}}}.
== Obtaining Source Tarballs ==
* "stable": [http://www.linuxvideo.org/user/dl.html]
* nightly snapshots: [http://www.linuxvideo.org/devel/dl.html]
== Building/Compiling ==
1. Install packages required to do the build. (see OpenMediaInterface)
1. Get the source for {{{libcss}}}, {{{oms}}}, and {{{omi}}}. (see subsections)
1. Unpack the source source if needed.
1. Make sure your library paths are setup to where you intend to install the libraries. (see description of this in OmsProblems)
1. Build libcss:
1. {{{$ cd libcss}}}
1. {{{$ ./bootstrap}}}
1. {{{$ ./configure}}}
1. {{{$ make}}}
1. {{{$ make install}}}
run 'ldconfig'
1. Build OMI
1. {{{$ cd omi}}}
1. {{{$ ./bootstrap}}}
1. {{{$ make install}}}
1. Run {{{oms_shell}}} or {{{omi_gtk}}}.
== CVS ==
{{{
# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxvideo.org:/cvs/livid
# cvs login (Just press Return when prompted for a password)
# cvs -z3 co -dP module_name
}}}
Get modules {{{libcss}}}, {{{oms}}}, {{{omi}}}.
== tarball ==
Visit [http://www.linuxvideo.org/devel/dl.html].
/!\ {{{oms_shell}}} is broken at the moment... sorry. use {{{omi_gtk}}}.
= Configuration =
OpenMediaSystem uses a configuration file located at {{{~/.oms/config}}}.
...
== ~/.oms/config ==
= Problems =
== I get "autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in" when running bootstrap on libcss ==
Make sure you are using autoconf version 2.13. Newer versions will cause this error.
OpenMediaSystem uses a configuration file located at {{{~/.oms/config}}}.
== Building my omi_gtk binary failed! ==
The format as of 20010324 is {{{key=value}}} one per line.
When building OpenMediaInterface check {{{./configure}}} output, {{{config.log}}}, and {{{./src/config.h}}}. Assure that the proper libs were detected. For a list of what is needed see OpenMediaInterface.
The file get's automatically overwritten if you use the GUI configuration.
In case the make of omi aborts with undefined references to gtk things:
Example:
Run "gtk-config --libs" and add the missing parts to the configuration
settings in Makefile and/or src/Makefile.
grep for the problematic function names in /usr/lib and add the resulting
libs as -Lxxx or -lxxx.

Yeah, that can happen sometimes. Sorry. But there is hope! Make sure that you don't have old versions of OpenMediaSystem or OpenMediaInterface libraries and plugins on your system. You can also try a clean rebuild just to make sure everything is sane.
== /dev/dvd ==
== I think I have a region code problem with my drive ==
You can set the {{{devices=}}} line in the config file to any device you want. Many people like to have a {{{/dev/dvd}}} but this is not strictly needed.
Get the regionset program from [http://linuxtv.org/download/dvd/dvd_disc_20000215_css.tar.gz linuxtv.org]
use that to reset the region on your dvd drive. '''Remember''': you can only do this 5 times or so on most drives, so don't get carried away.
If you want to create a {{{/dev/dvd}}} JeremyErwin suggests:
== Something really weird happend... ==
You need to symbolicly link the appropriate IDE or SCSI device to {{{/dev/dvd}}}.
Check your {{{~/.oms/config}}} for sanity.
If you're using IDE, the following values are standard
* {{{/dev/hda}}} primary master
* {{{/dev/hdb}}} primary slave
* {{{/dev/hdc}}} secondary master
* {{{/dev/hdd}}} secondary slave
== "error while loading shared libraries:" ==
If you're using SCSI, the devices are labeled {{{/dev/scdn}}}, where {{{n}}} is the id of your DVD drive.
If you get a message like {{{error while loading shared libraries:" liboms.so.0; cannot open shared object file; No such file or directory.}}} then your library paths are incorrect.
So, if your DVD drive is the primary ide slave, the correct command would be:
By default the libraries install in {{{/usr/local/lib}}} (but this may be different depending on system configuration). You can change this with {{{configure}}} options like {{{--prefix=}}} and {{{--exec-prefix=}}}.
{{{
ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/dvd
}}}
Make sure to have the libdir you use added your library path
:
* System wide
1. add {{{/usr/local/lib}}} to your {{{/etc/ld.so.conf}}}
1. run {{{ldconfig}}}
* User based
* add your libdir to shell environment var {{{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}}
= Problems =
== ** Invalid mantissa - skipping frame ** ==
For problems with configuring or running OpenMediaSystem, look at the OmsProblems page or the GeneralProblems page.
Sometimes you can get {{{** Invalid mantissa - skipping frame **}}} from OpenMediaSystem. Usually caused when skipping chapters?
Ac3Dec is spewing this when it get fed a bad stream?
= Other Tips =
It does this because OpenMediaSystem doesn't correctly jump between chapters, it lands in the middle of a stream and Ac3Dec gets confused(I think thats why)
- no OpenMediaSystem does a correct jump to the start of the next chapter,
but doesn't wait anymore for the end of a proper chunk. - ac3decs resampling
has been optimized and fixed and will be commited to CVS this week.
== User Defined Install Directory ==
== oms CVS: I get an aclocal error when running bootstrap ==
You can install in your own directory by using the {{{--prefix=}}} option to {{{configure}}}.
You need to install the automake package on your system
in case aclocal isn't found.
If you have {{{oms}}} and {{{omi}}} in a dir called {{{~/livid}}} and want to install in {{{~/livid/inst}}} do something like this:
== "GetTitleKey failed: Input/output error" ==
{{{
$ cd ~/livid
This seems to appear when playing encrypted DVDs. OMS hangs right after. Also get a LOG_ERROR that looks like "cell_pos:10a7 unable to get full block (-1)".
$ cd oms
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../inst
$ make install
$ cd ../omi
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../inst --with-oms-prefix=`pwd`/../inst
$ make install
= Other Tips =
$ cd ../inst/bin
$ ./omi_gtk
You can install in your own directory by using the {{{--prefix=}}} option to {{{configure}}}.
