[Solved] Hypnotix (IPTV App) won't run.

Post by Mick-Cork »

Has anyone downloaded/installed Hypnotix, the new IPTV app (Alpha prototype release) that Clem introduced on the news blog yesterday. I've installed it but it won't run from the menu, and if I launch in the terminal I get the following output:

Code: Select all

~$ hypnotix

Not sure what's required to resolve it, but if anyone has any suggestions would be great.

(I've also left a question on the blog for Clem).

It's "alpha".
There may be nothing to do except report bugs. The joys of being an early adopter.

Hi Mick-Cork

It's working well for me, but I'm on LM20 with the 5.4 kernel and I wonder if that could be your problem?

Hi Dorset :)

Could be, I'm wondering if Clem developed it on the LM20 platform and some dependencies might be missing on earlier versions?
Hopefully he'll come back on the blog and clarify.

How's the weather in Dorset, hopefully not as wild as it is here today! (SW Ireland).
My sister and her hubby bought a place in Wimborne last year and sounds like they're enjoying life when down there.

Cheers,

Mick

Hi Mick

Yet again the weather forecast got it wrong. :D

We're supposed to have 50mph winds and heavy rain, but we've got a few showers, a strongish breeze and I've just been out in the garden in my Tee shirt. Oh well.

Wimborne is a nice town, small enough to be quiet, modern enough to have decent - by Dorsets standards - roads, and only a few miles from the seething metropolis of Bournemouth and Poole.

Stay warm and have a Guinness on me. :lol:

If that were the case you'd have seen a message to that effect when you installed it.

I think it's likely because it's alpha, I don't install beta releases let alone alpha. The reasons it runs on one install and not another are not necessarily straghtforward.

Well I got it working in the end. Had to update libmpv to a later version using a third party PPA.

I'll mark as solved.

I'm running Hypnotix successfully on LMDE4. Hopefully there will be enough enthusiasm to promote further development on this product. I love it.
