Hello all,

Like the two people above when i try to process a file i get the following message:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

process_sample.php version 1.5
Loading flix: flixengine2.php
Flix Engine client library v8.0.6.0_DEMO
Powered by On2 TrueMotion video technology.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

If you would like to see what happens visit:

When you click on encode, basically it takes you to the next page that says the above and nothing happens, any help is much appreciated.

I'm getting the same problem after installing on Fedora Core 6. I'm assuming someone must have solved this...

As for the error code, -9 = ON2_NET_ERROR, which means there was an RPC error. The rpcerr returned from Flix2_Errno is 13, which I don't know how to translate.

Any help/thoughts appreciated!

Looks like this might be answered in the FAQ

I'll be trying it out...

Unfortunately that didn't seem to cut it. The flixengine (flixd) and portmapper are both running. Here is the output I see:

-bash-3.1# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
941977600 1 tcp 846

-bash-3.1# ps -ef |grep flixd
root 21445 1 0 09:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/flixd --authdir=/root/.on2 --pidfile /var/run/flixd.pid
root 21475 21367 0 09:44 ttyp0 00:00:00 grep flixd

I also checked if I had a firewall or something running, but doesn't look like it (I think it's called iptables on Fedora Core, but not 100% sure).

So, I'm still stuck... any thoughts welcome.

Just talked with On2 FLIX support and it seems that error 13 == RPC_UNKNOWNHOST. So, it looks like it couldn't find localhost. Ack.

I modified (in my case created!) /etc/hosts and added the following line:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

That got me passed this error. Hopefully it will help someone else!
