I use yay as aur helper, i did yay -Sy python-acestream acestream-launcher.

Tested and works!

dmikalutsk commented on 2019-12-14 09:50 (UTC)

Works flawlessly, changed default player to VLC. Tested, works!

The only solution which worked.

Thank you very much

Found the answer to the following error.

Rebuilt and installed python-acestream and acestream-launcher after the python-3.8.0-1 update.

There were unresolvable dependencies on executing "pacaur -Sy python-acestream acestream-launcher" so i downloaded the snapshots from AUR, built the packages (makepkg) and installed them by hand (pacaur -U python-acestream-0.1.5-1.pkg.tar.xz acestream-launcher-2.0.1-1.pkg.tar.xz).

Regards

Hello.

I have a python error (python-3.8.0-1) :

@sgar I updated the package. Thanks for the tip!

sgar commented on 2018-11-14 09:19 (UTC)

nice package, u can further improve the pkgbuild with the --skip-build flag in the package section, as it is already built in the build()...

Hi @wellsaid, it works fine for me. Try to reinstall acestream-engine. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion.

wellsaid commented on 2018-10-31 22:30 (UTC) (edited on 2018-10-31 22:31 (UTC) by wellsaid)

Hi recently this package stopped working (maybe a python upgrade broke acestream-engine?) If i use the new -v option i obtain the following output: https://pastebin.com/FzFJFsFH

jonian commented on 2018-09-30 09:34 (UTC)

The latest version (1.2.0) has support for --verbose (-v) argument. You can use it to see player/engine output/errors in console.

Please report bugs on github issue tracker https://github.com/jonian/acestream-launcher/issues.

blum commented on 2018-09-29 06:37 (UTC)

Yes, works fine with mpv, but with mplayer the result is the same as with vlc.

digitalone commented on 2018-09-26 21:14 (UTC)

Use mpv.

rhabbachi commented on 2018-09-26 21:01 (UTC)

Facing the same problem as @blum, suspecting a VLC problem.

blum commented on 2018-09-23 06:47 (UTC)

Hello, Since the last update I have a problem with acestream-launcher or acestreamengine,

$ acestream-launcher acestream://.................. --player /usr/bin/vlc Streaming started, launching player...

Exiting... LIVE - status: playing down: 1396.0 kb/s up: 0.0 kb/s peers: 21

It exits right after the player is shown, with no error or anything. Is there any way to know what could be wrong?

Thanks

jonian commented on 2018-08-26 17:19 (UTC)

@joaojotta it would be better if you created an alias in .bashrc like alias acestream-launcher="acestream-launcher -p vlc" or and edited .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications.

jonian commented on 2018-08-26 17:11 (UTC)

@Brofjst Yes, it is indeed created by acestream-engine here https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/acestream-engine.install?h=acestream-engine.

Brofjst commented on 2018-08-26 10:01 (UTC) (edited on 2018-08-26 10:18 (UTC) by Brofjst)

@nico_ok do not remove it or acestream won't work (at least not on kodi, i do not know for other usages). Btw the account it is not made by acestream-launcher but i think it's made by acestream-engine.

joaojotta commented on 2018-08-21 20:38 (UTC) (edited on 2018-08-21 20:41 (UTC) by joaojotta)

Just managed to change the default media player by changing the line in acestream_launcher.py:

default='mpv' to default='vlc'

This is how it looks now:

parser.add_argument( '-p', '--player', help='the media player command to use (default: mpv)', default='vlc' )

nico_ok commented on 2018-08-20 21:39 (UTC)

Just installed and all working great.I have noticed a new user account has now being created (acestream): is this expected behaviour? or can/should remove? Thanks a lot!

RemoteAdmin commented on 2018-06-09 15:03 (UTC)

Requires makedepends=("desktop-file-utils") for update-desktop-database

joaojotta commented on 2018-04-30 17:14 (UTC)

Hum... quickquestion: How do I change the default media player from mpv something else? Let’s say it’s vlc. Thanks

Plexcon commented on 2018-04-25 18:10 (UTC) (edited on 2018-04-30 16:31 (UTC) by Plexcon)

Thank you. By default it asks you to have installed the MPV player. gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FCF986EA15E6E293A5644F10B4322F04D67658D8

Install from console: yaourt -S acestream-launcher

Thanks!

jonian commented on 2018-02-26 00:07 (UTC)

@egrupled done. Thanks for the tip.

egrupled commented on 2018-02-26 00:03 (UTC) (edited on 2018-02-26 00:04 (UTC) by egrupled)

Can you change:

source=("$pkgname::https://github.com/jonian/acestream-launcher/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz"

to:

source=("$pkgname-$pkgver::https://github.com/jonian/acestream-launcher/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz"

otherwise it won't automatically download new version if previous one is stored.

jonian commented on 2018-02-25 10:36 (UTC)

@Drommer please report this upstream at https://github.com/jonian/acestream-launcher/issues since this is not a packaging issue.

Drommer commented on 2018-02-25 09:11 (UTC)

Thx for pointing out :)

@JasonP This is an issue with acestream-engine. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acestream-engine What worked for me: Temporary fix: Don't touch package, it's bulding ok. Instead simply install m2crypto 0.23. Version 0.24 might work, too. pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python2-m2crypto/python2-m2crypto-0.23.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz If you are having issues with openssl: ln -sf /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /opt/acestream/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

JasonP commented on 2017-07-16 18:23 (UTC)

After a recent system upgrade acestream-launcher stopped working.

temporary workaround solves the problem, but... ((( It's a crutch
