HI,
first of all, thanx again, great idea and nice work
think it can be useful to add game video links to any youtube-like service in repository entries

the second:
capture is fine, no problems at all, but video conversion is not work for me:

I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and have mencoder (tryed with standart ubunut and with medibuntu repos) and x264 codec, but something wrong with parameters
for sure anyone can make conversion manually, but it will be not so clear

thanx

Hi chain2k,

think it can be useful to add game video links to any youtube-like service in repository entries

I agree with you, just ask it to GNU_Raziel

About your problem, GNU_Raziel will certainly be more helpful but according to your error log, there is a problem with your video driver. Is it correctly installed?

Otherwise, I have problems with Capture too.
First, message to GNU_Raziel, Capture doesn't check the bc's presence. So it wasn't installed on my Arch Linux and Capture didn't work but didn't displays any error window (such as the one I had because of the lack of mencoder).

Then, Visioning a capture video doesn't work (and not even an error log by launching POL from a console)

To finish, the conversion doesn't work for me too. I have the following error:

That's the problem, you've captured nothing or file is corrupted, witch happened if you do not STOP the capture befaore leave the game !!

Also remember that Capture ONLY work with OpenGL/alsa threads, so capturing 2D will end to an empty/corrupted file and capturing OSS sound will not work.

Okay, that's why it didn't work for me, I tested Capture with Notepad++

Thank you for the help

hi, again
as for me capture was ok, both video and sound, I tested it on HOMM5 and can play video successfully with Capture plugin
can't remember what version of plugin I tested last time with HOMM, but at home I messed with v0.6. It creates modified launcher with an error ( as I think) , that is the last line in launcher (make attention to bald words):

glc-capture -b back --out="/home/chain/POL_Capture/glest-Capture.pid" wine-pthread "/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/wine-pthreadprefix/glest/drive_c/Program Files/Glest_3.1.2/glest.exe" $@

so it's not work, but then I change to:

glc-capture -b back --out="/home/chain/POL_Capture/glest-Capture.pid" wine-pthread "/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/glest/drive_c/Program Files/Glest_3.1.2/glest.exe" $@

and all things are work

About conversion, I've tryed to change codec in Capture_lib to DIVX (with another resolution and without 2 passes) and it work nice.

glc-play "$CAP_FILE" -o - -y 1 | mencoder -demuxer y4m - -audiofile audio.mp3 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1000 -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=3:abr:br=48 -zoom -aspect 4:3 -vf scale=640:480 -ffourcc DIVX -o "$CAP_VID".avi

Another one sugestion - to give user a choice of resolution and audio bitrate in convert script.

And tnx for ur attention

Hi,

Already identify this bug,i will correct it for next release.

And I will add complete configuration page for convert options, I was just out of time last WE ^^

Stay tuned, next release expected sunday

thank you the great)

hi again
just want to say that new version 0.7 working brilliant, right from the box
only one thing, you forgot to remove remarks # in audio and so avi created without sound
think you can fast and easy change it)
and think that audio.mp3 have to be deleted after conversion, first time when I test version 0.7 I even didn't notice that sound conversion is not working^)
as for video all three codecs worked good for me

Oops sorry, corrected

Hi, again)
Today found a new bug in capture plugin ( that was really annoying because I tested TrackMania, wanted to add some game video in test and spent some hours while understand what happens)
In new launcher that plugin creates you add new path for libraries, bin's, etc.. and for sure assigned wine version not works after that.
but if I manually change the launcher and add wine path after export strings, all things begin to work right. That is an example:

#!/bin/bash
source "/usr/share/playonlinux/lib/sources"
#PATH="/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/WineVersions/1.0~rc1.ani/usr/bin/:$PATH"
export WINEPREFIX="/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/ConquerOnline"
export WINEDEBUG="-all"
cd "/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/ConquerOnline//drive_c/Program Files/Conquer 2.0/"
message_one "Press <SHIFT>+F8 to start or stop capture" "Capture" "CaptureWarning"
export PATH="/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/plugins/Capture/software/usr/bin/:/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/plugins/Capture/software/usr/bin/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/plugins/Capture/software/usr/lib32/:/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/plugins/Capture/software/usr/lib32/:"
PATH="/home/chain/.PlayOnLinux/WineVersions/1.0~rc1.ani/usr/bin/:$PATH"
glc-capture -b back --out="/home/chain/POL_Capture/Conquer Online-Capture.pid" wine-pthread "play.exe" $@
CAP_TIME=`date +%D-%T | tr "/" "-"\ | tr ":" "-"`
GAME_CAP2="`echo "Conquer Online-Capture"-"$CAP_TIME"`"
mv "/home/chain/POL_Capture/Conquer Online-Capture.pid" "/home/chain/POL_Capture/"$GAME_CAP2".pid"

That was easy to notice when I tested my Conquer Online script. I used patched wine version with animated cursors support, and when the game used wrong version it was very noticeably.

And can you, please add option to change resolution of converted video? I can do it manually for sure, but GUI preferable.

Thank you)

Already corrected in next version, create launcher "on the fly", no more special launchers, stay tuned for next release ^^

ok, i'll wait for it)
