I'm trying to get started with MythPodCaster. Do you know if I need<br>
to use the Sun Java SDK or can I use the open source version that<br>
comes with Fedora?<br></blockquote><div><br>I must first apologize for the slow response; my first post to this thread was in October 2009, and I stopped watching it quite a while ago. I've since moved the <br>project to a Google Code project (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/">http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/</a>) where you can find more documentation and file bugs & feature requests.<br>
<br>The OpenJDK JVM might work with the version of Google Web Toolkit that's used in more recent releases of MythPodcaster, but I strongly recommend that you use the Sun JVM instead. Configuring Tomcat to use the Sun JVM is pretty easy. Just edit the file /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6 so that the variable JAVA_HOME uses the location where the Sun JVM is installed.<br>

Also, on a first try, I got the following error message:<br>

I've set the owner of /var/cache/tomcat6/temp to "tomcat". Is there<br>
something I'm missing?<br>
<br>
Also, I cannot find the qt-faststart binary anywhere -- the link<br>
provided from <a href="http://multimedia.cx/eggs/improving-qt-faststart/" target="_blank">http://multimedia.cx/eggs/improving-qt-faststart/</a> to<br>
the mplayer source no longer works, and qt-faststart is no longer<br>
contained in the svn repository of tools. Is it needed?<br></blockquote><div><br>The qt-faststart binary is not required. You'll need it only if you use any of the fast-start transcoding profiles (i.e. ONE_PASS_FAST_START, TWO_PASS_FAST_START). I recommend using qt-faststart because it leads to fast start times when streaming the file. I found the qt-faststart source in the FFmpeg source code repository. <br>
<br>Any additional questions or issue you might have will be addressed more quickly via the MythPodcaster project site. I hope this helps,<br><br>--Scott Kidder<br></div></div>
