If you want to get myth2ipod<\/a> working on Ubuntu (assuming you have both MythTV and Ubuntu installed) there aren’t any instructions to my knowledge. I found the currently posted set of instructions to be outdated (last update 3\/5\/06). The following, updated instructions are actually much simpler (everything is in apt).<\/p>\n

I did as follows (Myth .20, Ubuntu 7.04):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get the appropriate version of ffmpeg (with xvid support). To do that, add this line to your \/etc\/apt\/sources.list file:
    deb http:\/\/packages.medibuntu.org\/ feisty free non-free<\/code>
    and then run
    wget -q http:\/\/packages.medibuntu.org\/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update<\/code>
    Then install your brand new version of ffmpeg:
    sudo apt-get install ffmpeg<\/code>
    (found that tip linked from     here<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. To test what you did in step 1, run ffmpeg -version<\/code> and make sure you see ‘enable-xvid’ and ‘enable-faac’ in the output.<\/li>\n
  3. Install the codec library, which is required to make sure you can encode aac audio.
    sudo apt-get install libavcodec0d<\/code>
    To test that you can, run ffmpeg -formats<\/code> and make sure you see DEA aac<\/code> listed under “Codecs”.<\/li>\n
  4. Install mp4box, which is available in apt under ‘gpac’ sudo apt-get install gpac<\/code><\/li>\n
  5. Grab nuvexport:
    \ncd \/tmp
    \n wget http:\/\/forevermore.net\/files\/nuvexport-latest.tar.bz2
    \n tar -xjvf nuvexport-latest.tar.bz2
    \nsudo mv nuvexport-0.4 \/usr\/local\/share\/nuvexport<\/p>\n
  6. Copy down the scripts and put them in the right places:
    \n cd \/tmp
    \n wget http:\/\/myth2ipod.com\/myth2ipod.txt
    \n wget http:\/\/myth2ipod.com\/iPod.pm
    \n sudo mv myth2ipod.txt \/usr\/local\/bin\/myth2ipod
    \n sudo chmod +x \/usr\/local\/bin\/myth2ipod
    \n sudo mv iPod.pm \/usr\/local\/share\/nuvexport\/export\/ffmpeg\/iPod.pm
    \n sudo ln -s \/usr\/local\/share\/nuvexport\/nuvexport \/usr\/local\/bin\/nuvexport
    \n<\/code>\n<\/li>\n

    <\/code><\/li>\n

  7. At this point you can follow the rest of the instructions at the site for editing \/usr\/local\/bin\/myth2ipod , etc. The rest of it is not distribution-specific. The slight change I had to make was the path to MP4Box which is hard-coded in the script to point to \/usr\/local\/bin but on Ubuntu it gets put into \/usr\/bin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
