Comskip Linux Server, Windows Client
Looking for some guidance on my path setup. Im running v9 server on linux, client on windows and recording to a NAS. All works-watching, recording, playing. Comskip triggers, spits out edl, etc.
The issue is that my client cant see the edl. As I understand, the client needs access to the same path as the server. But how do I create a cross-platform path that resolves to my NAS on both linux and windows? Any help is appreciated this is the last step for my migration! Thanks! |

I have tried various smb configs but [my] linux doesn't understand \\server\dir and [my] windows doesn't understand //server/dir
Do you have a package or config that's working for you? |

Sounds like Sage.jar needs to be written to be cross platform compatible.

I believe the sage.jar is cross-platform - i'm running the same code on windows (that i'm trying to move away from) and linux. My guess is that the plug-in could be reworked but short of that, i'm looking for anything...

Yeah, this is completely an issue with the Comskip playback plugin, and really has nothing to do with sage.jar. There have been many ways discussed/floated over the years for this issue to get resolved, but for most people, it's not been an issue, and the original plugin developers are long gone, and it's just been tweaked with minor changes/fixes for the last 6+ years.

Use mklink on Windows to create the paths. This also works for dvd rips too

Thanks - we were on the same track. I got it to work last night but it is only a partial solution - works on laptop where i can manipulate the directory structure to mimic my linux structure but won't work on my HD3000. Also won't work over VPN (I VPN in often) because of name resolutions issues.
Looks like my move to linux-hosted sage is on hold for now... |

Comskip does work with the HD300. Over a VPN with a HD300 would work too and your client just needs to replicate the same as the server

Let me make sure we are on the same page - do you have a HD3000 pointed at a Sage instance on Linux that is reading .EDLs?

I do... The HD300 (like the ANdroid MiniClient) is running on the server, so the EDL files just work. It's different with a full client, since the full client needs to use the same path as the server.

stuckless - I've seen your posts on the miniclient so I think I know where you're coming from.
When I referenced HD300, I'm talking about a separate piece of self-contained hardware running Sage client software. Apple and orange I think... |

I have several HD300 units. These are sagetv stand-alone units, but they are not full clients. They are Extenders. So, my point being, is that for things like HD100,HD200, HD300, Android MiniClient, and placeshifter, is that they all run a session on the server, so for things like comskip, it will just work, because they are on the same filesystem (the server).

So, was there a resolution/workaround to this? I tried mklink, but get "cannot find the path specified" when trying:
Code:
mklink /d "//server/dir" \\server\dir |

You need to recreate the same folder path. If things are /var/media/tv then you should use mklink to map to \var\media\tv on the PC

The following worked for me
Note: the target folder on Linux is /var/media/tv and the Linux server IP Address for this example is 192.168.10.10. Obviously, you'll need to substitute your own IP Address. Linux Server Share target folder "tv" in the path /var/media/tv Windows SageTV client PC mkdir c:\var\media cd c:\var\media mklink /D tv \\192.168.10.10\tv |
