Re: [Gnump3d-users] Streaming a Movie file "errors out with file not found"

[Marty Huntzberry]

This is from May 2007 mail archives:

I got my server to serve out mpg movie files.  It may be overkill and the file 
says it's not recommended (backup the orignal), but I changed this line
in /etc/gnump3d/mime.types:

video/x-msvideo                                 avi 

To this:

video/x-msvideo                                 avi mpg

Kill your gnump3d process (ps aux to get the pid and then kill -9 xxxx) and 
then restart it (gnump3d --fast --background).
Make sure the file is in your streaming directory and it should show on a 
browser.  To get it to download though I had to chmod 444 on the mpg file
so that it was readable by everybody. 

Here's the video I'm streaming (you may need to download it first and then open 
the mpg file with a video player):

Hope this helps!

Hello,
 
I am having an issue getting any type of movie/media file to play. It will 
appear as a movie, but when you click on the link it bombs out and goes to
a page saying the file couldn't be located. I have installed on multiple 
machines and all have same error. This is a barebones Debian install if this
helps. Thank you,
 
Daren
