Hi,

I just installed OneSwarm on my newly installed Ubuntu 8.10 machine and I can't get sharing to work. It starts to hash the file and at 100% it just stops. I have traced the error to a point where it seems to have difficulties finding the ffmpeg_glibc2.6/ffmpeg_glibc2.7 files. My guess is that it's used to extract information of the film that I want to share (a 1080p trailer, 12 Rounds.mov to be precise, for testing). It creates a torrent file in .torrent but it never starts to share the file.

I get this in error.log:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/home/magnus/OneSwarm/bin/ffmpeg_glibc2.6": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory

and in output.log:

exception causes us to break!

I have verified that the /home/magnus/OneSwarm/bin/ffmpeg_glibc2.6 and /home/magnus/OneSwarm/bin/ffmpeg_glibc2.7 files exists.

Is there anyone else that has run into this before and got a way to get around it?

I just ran into this problem, a workaround is:

#install ffmpeg using apt-get
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

#locate the ffmpeg binary
which ffmpeg

#delete the old binary to your oneswarm/bin install
rm /home/magnus/OneSwarm/bin/ffmpeg_glibc2.7
rm /home/magnus/OneSwarm/bin/ffmpeg_glibc2.6

#link in the new one
ln -s which ffmpeg /home/magnus/OneSwarm/bin/ffmpeg_glibc2.7

This will be fixed in the next dev update, but I'm not sure when that will be so I hope this will work until then.

The ffmpeg supplied by ubuntu is pretty crappy (no xvid for example), here is a guide for how to compile it with better codec support:
