[Icecast-dev] theora2png / video preview

[adam]

hey,

just wanted to say that I got the theora2png to work, it was easy once 
i realised i had to re-run the automake.sh (doh!)

the process, for anyone reading the list in the future is:
1. get the svn version of icecast trunk:
svn co http://svn.xiph.org/icecast/trunk/icecast/ icecast
2. make sure you have libpng dev libraries (in debian : apt-get install 
libpng2-dev)
3. get the patch sent to this list earlier (video_preview.diff) 
4. patch the source by doing this:
* cd to the svn dir (icecast in the above example)
* run this command : patch -p0 < video_preview.diff
* run autogen : ./autogen.sh
* ./configure;make;make install
5. create a dir called 'video_preview' in your web root (see the icecast 
conf for details where this is)
6. make sure your icecast conf (icecast.xml) has somewhere:
<video_preview>1</video_preview>

stream some theora and look at the pretty pictures on status.xsl



woohoo! i really hope this gets in the svn, it is an _excellent_ addition, 
not sure who came up with it but many many thanks

adam
