dude67 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) I've been using WinXP on the side and one of the few reasons preventing me from switching to Linux full time is ProjectX demuxing tool (the other main reason is the gaming). I was very happy to learn that ProjectX was made into rpms (found under contrib). But for some reason the programme freezes on me when I try to use it. I have started the programme fine and have managed to make some changes to the options (subtitles etc.), but when I've selected a file to be demuxed ProjectX freezes. It most often does not even close and I have to kill it before I can get rid of the window. Is there anyone who has installed ProjectX from MCC (source: contrib) and has managed to get it to work properly?

Guest buzzz Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have exactly the same problem as you, starts ok but when I try to demux a file it just freezes.

dude67 Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I've asked dvb.matt (the author) about this problem in another forum. I added the information the system wrote in terminal. Let's see if he has some insight on this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude67 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 So far no help from dvb.matt or anyone else on the German board (in English). (Maybe it is because I wrote in English to a German board?) Any suggestions or ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 You may find something here forum.mandriva.com? At the very least, you will find others with the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude67 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 After a while, I had given up on this ever working on my system, but decided to give it one more go. I got some very helpful advice that helped my pass this obstacle (thanks Anssi). Here's a cool one for you... I wanted to share this info with you all just in case someone else is having this same problem! As I had already suspected the problem had to do with java. I had already java-1.6.0-sun installed, but it was not specified in the ProjectX config file! I corrected the original ProjectX at /etc/java/projectx.conf to point JAVA_HOME to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-sun". It was either cacao or jamvm until then, and one of these earlier jvms caused the freezing! Now it's no longer crashing on me and this is finally solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
