Streaming On Mac OSX

[flowjoe]

I'm using the same version of MakeMKV and VLC only in 1.1.3 - not upgraded yet.

I'm running makemkvcon from the commandline with cache set to 256MB - absolutely no problems.

I was running a DLNA server: Eyeconnect from Elgato.I just stopped the server and Makemkv worked perfectly.

THIS is exactly the problem when the streaming server could not start with http://#ERROR

But... is the error "ok" in a way of this is normal or is it an error in makemkv or in eyetv ?

Probably the best solution is to shutdown EyeConnect via applescript, start streaming and after that
autostart EyeConnect again - if you have to use it.

I've got the solution!!
It was a really stupid thing as usually happens. I was running a DLNA server: Eyeconnect from Elgato.I just stopped the server and Makemkv worked perfectly. I will have to stop the Eyeconnect when I want to see my Blu-rays and then start it when I want to see the multimedia content of my computer on my TV.

I hope it will help the other guys with this problems.

Thank you.

Ah. I'm also running EyeConnect on my iMac. I'll disable it and retry.

hey,
so its working for me but using the Inception Blu-ray it loads up a behind the scenes video instead of the film itself.
Theres heaps of different videos on this disc though including audio soundtrack with visual (not much visuals though).
Whats the chances of some how getting VLC to load each separate track as a playlist type setup then I could just jump through them until I find the main film?
Cause MakeMkv seems to load all the tracks so would this be possible?

Cheers

Hi,

I get the same error "Streaming server started, web server address is http://#error or http://localhost:51000
Streaming server failed to start". How can I find out why it fails to start and how can I find out what service that is making the streaming server to fail? I'm not running Eyeconnect. I have EyeTV installed but it is not running. Would be great if anyone could help me.

Thanks,

Mikael

Thanks albertoppunto! This solved it for me too.

Thanks flowjoe

Not every detail I needed but close enough to get me going.
Why isn't that in the streaming section of the online Help ? took me ages to track this down. Maybe after Beta so hope this will be used as feedback.

1. I needed to bite the bullet and go for the trial - it was not clear from any output/diagnostics
that clicking on Start Server wasn't working because I was in pre-trial mode - and no point opening Server until Disc opened and active.
2. clicking through to http://127.0.0.1:51000/web/title0 to pick up the stream URL
which after copy-paste came out as http://127.0.0.1:51000/stream/title0.m2ts,
I still had a dialogue decision in VLC where the streams URL is pasted and that was to NOT bother with the open RTP/UDP button
or the streaming/saving tick-box (well maybe later on that one)

Anyway, time to play (Black and White Blu Ray disc !! --- they'll have done that for the high protection on BD I suppose) for a while so thanks.

Hi,

I just installed a Sony Optiarc BC-5640H in my 2009 Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8. Ripping BluRays works flawless using MakeMKV 1.7.2. However, regarding the streaming server I'm also experiencing the "Streaming server started, web server address is http://#error or http://localhost:51000 Streaming server failed to start" error. Whatever the streaming preferences are I get this error every time. Like g3blv above I'm not running Eyeconnect and to my best knowledge I disabled any other kind of services which could interfere. I also tried it from command line leading to exactly the same result.

I really would like to get this running. Any ideas what else I could try?

Debug output:

Code: Select all

Without MakeMKV running, what is the output of following command?

Code: Select all

netstat -nLa
