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

/!\ {{{oms_shell}}} is broken at the moment... sorry. use {{{omi_gtk}}}.
= Configuration =
OpenMediaSystem uses a configuration file located at {{{~/.oms/config}}}.
...
= Build 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.
== Building my omi_gtk binary failed! ==
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.
In case the make of omi aborts with undefined references to gtk things:
== ~/.oms/config ==
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.
== oms CVS: I get an aclocal error when running bootstrap ==
You need to install the automake package on your system
in case aclocal isn't found.
== omi configure fails: can't find oms-config ==
Make sure that {{{/usr/local/bin}}} is in your {{{PATH}}} ({{{/etc/profile}}} for root, or {{{~/.cshrc}}} or {{{~/.profile}}} for a user, depending on if your shell is csh/tcsh or bash). Also, as a sanity check, make sure you compiled and installed {{{oms}}} before trying to build {{{omi}}}.
Also, make sure {{{/usr/local/lib}}} is in your linker path; this is either defined by the variable {{{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}} or is an entry in the file {{{/etc/ld.so.conf}}}.
= Runtime Problems =
OpenMediaSystem uses a configuration file located at {{{~/.oms/config}}}.
== I ran XYZ and it segfaulted! ==
The format as of 20010324 is {{{key=value}}} one per line.
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.
The file get's automatically overwritten if you use the GUI configuration.
== I think I have a region code problem with my drive ==
Example:
Run {{{dmesg}}} to see if you have a problem. You may see output like the following:
{{{
ATAPI device hdc:
Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05)
System resource failure -- (asc=0x55, ascq=0x00)
Media region code is mismatched to logical unit -- (asc=0x6f, ascq=0x04)
The failed "Report Key" packet command was:
"a4 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0c 04 00 "
ypos=538
xpos=959
devices=dvd:/dev/dvd
output_video_device=
output_video_plugin=sdl
output_audio_device=/dev/dsp
output_audio_plugin=sys
skin=some
}}}
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.
|| '''field''' || '''description''' || '''examples''' ||
|| {{{ypos}}} || vertical position of GUI || {{{538}}} ||
|| {{{xpos}}} || horizontal position of GUI || {{{959}}} ||
|| {{{devices}}} || sources of media || {{{dvd:/dev/dvd}}}, (files?) ||

|| {{{output_audio_plugin}}} || plugin to use for video output || {{{sys}}}, {{{esd}}}, etc ||
|| {{{output_audio_device}}} || device to use for audio output || plugin specific or empty, {{{/dev/dsp}}} for {{{sys}}} plugin ||
To compile, untar the file downloaded, and run:
1. {{{# gcc -c dvd_udf.c}}}
1. {{{# gcc -c regionset.c}}}
1. {{{# gcc -o regionset dvd_udf.o regionset.o}}}
1. {{{# ./regionset}}}
== /dev/dvd ==
If you have no region code set, you will see {{{type: NONE}}} as part of the output, as well as {{{drive plays discs from region(s):}}} with no number after it. Set the code according to your region (e.g. United States is 1).
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.
== "GetTitleKey failed: Input/output error" ==
If you want to create a {{{/dev/dvd}}} JeremyErwin suggests:
This may appear for other reasons, but one reason was because the region code on the DVD drive wasn't set at all (e.g. you have a brand new DVD drive and haven't run any Windows DVD software). See above subsection for a fix.
You need to symbolicly link the appropriate IDE or SCSI device to {{{/dev/dvd}}}.
== Something really weird happend... ==
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
Check your {{{~/.oms/config}}} for sanity.
If you're using SCSI, the devices are labeled {{{/dev/scdn}}}, where {{{n}}} is the id of your DVD drive.
Also, run "ldconfig -v" (as root) and check the output carefully. I discovered all sorts of problems, including conflicting and old libraries. When I fixed all those problems, oms started working.
So, if your DVD drive is the primary ide slave, the correct command would be:
== "error while loading shared libraries:" ==
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.
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=}}}.
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}}}
== ** Invalid mantissa - skipping frame ** ==
Sometimes you can get {{{** Invalid mantissa - skipping frame **}}} from OpenMediaSystem. Usually caused when skipping chapters?
{{{
ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/dvd
}}}
Ac3Dec is spewing this when it get fed a bad stream?
= Problems =
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.
For problems with configuring or running OpenMediaSystem, look at the OmsProblems page or the GeneralProblems page.
== omi_gtk: Segmentation Fault right after dvddb ==
Remove the $HOME/.oms/dvddb/ directory and create a file so omi_gtk doesn't try to create it again. That fixed it for me.
= Other Tips =
== error loading default / configured audio or video plugins ==
== User Defined Install Directory ==
You probably forgot to create {{{~/.oms/config}}}. Make a directory called {{{~/.oms}}}, and copy the file {{{oms/doc/config.sample}}} to {{{~/.oms/config}}}.
You can install in your own directory by using the {{{--prefix=}}} option to {{{configure}}}.
== "No more data on input" (using Linux kernel 2.4.1) ==
If you have {{{oms}}} and {{{omi}}} in a dir called {{{~/livid}}} and want to install in {{{~/livid/inst}}} do something like this:
A problem was introduced when kernel 2.4.1 was released that causes some DVDs to stop playback after a period of time (average 10 minutes). There is a kernel patch at [http://www.linuxvideo.org/lists/livid-dev/2001-February/msg00030.html] that can be applied to 2.4.1. Rebuild your kernel, install it, and reboot, and this problem should go away.
{{{
$ cd ~/livid
$ 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}}}.
