Serviio Mediaserver on N4F?

[raulfg3]

ok, because this, i say "once work".

good job to all.

I am attempting install on a blank jail - but the release of 9.1-RC3 has broken pkg_add -r. Ugh. Also, today is pretty busy.

The java .jars seem to be fairly simple to extract from the linux tarball. Further, I don't think the "make" actually compiled anything from the ports. I am pretty sure it just obtained the zip, extracted it to the right place, and generated some scripts. I agree with alexey that the best option is to come up with install instructions that end with the webgui. In fact, it *should* be arbitrarily simple to make a N4F "extension" that points to the webgui in the jail. You would click the link, and leave the N4F page, but that's fine. Better, actually, because that way pathnames are less likely to get confused if you are completely inside the jail.

Looks like webui will be the best - it's just another two .jar files. No need to install a webserver or anything.

Started serviiod as root.... no exceptions O.o
-> because, the service is starting without a home.
user dlna has no home O.o

This is exactly why running the rc script is the proper way to do it. When I run it, I see that my process is running with dlna as the user account. (That's why ps aux | grep dlna retrieves whether or not it's running).

Update - These steps get it running for me:
1. Enter BRAND NEW jail built from with 9.1-RC3 base and lib32 tarballs, + added hosts entry + copy of n4f resolv.conf
2. setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports ... ase/Latest
3. pkg_add -r openjdk6 ffmpeg
4. portsnap fetch
5. portsnap extract
6. cd /usr/ports/net/serviio
7. make install clean
8. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/serviio onestart

Done. Works fine. Process is being run by dlna, not root. Something is (was) wrong with your jail. Now let me see about the webui.

When I'm at home, I will delete the jail and rebuild.
PyLoad is fast installed.
But why do you install the old version 0.6 of serviio?
The actual build is 1.0.1 and supports the genius media browser.

A package is not available for ports marked as: Forbidden / Broken / Ignore / Restricted

How to run serviio as user dlna?

How to run serviio as user dlna?

When you install from port collection, you have rc.d script for run it properly.

But why do you install the old version 0.6 of serviio?

Proof of concept to see how it functions when installed from the ports collection. Prototype. I wanted to prove that your jail has something wrong with it. Serviio is a standalone java virtual machine - if 0.6.2 won't work, then 1.0.1 is unlikely to work.

A package is not available for ports marked as: Forbidden / Broken / Ignore / Restricted

This is because it is restricted. Instead, you need to make it yourself.

How to run serviio as user dlna?

Easy:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/serviio start

If you look inside the rc script, you see that the java command is made a child of user dlna. That's why I am advocating using the rc.d script.

I can connect via Console.
Working
Now lets make the actual version running

You mean 1.0.1?

Yes, because I will test the media browser.
On the old jail I wasn't able to stream in browser via the flash player.

I had mixed luck today with 1.0.1. I will need to attempt again tomorrow with a clean jail, starting from scratch. Too bad you can't email me a beer. I would kill for a fresh Spaten while working on this!

I have it working, webui + webgui integration. See below, and test with your setup:
Inside working jail:
Add a /etc/hosts entry for your jail: {jail ip} {jail hostname}
Mine is: 10.10.10.15 serviio.nas4free

Restart the jail, or start serviio with the rc script: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/serviio start

Then, on the N4F host: (NOTE: ALL OF THE ABOVE STEPS ARE INSIDE THE JAIL!!!!)

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /usr/local/www/ext/serviio
echo '<a href="http://{jail ip addr}:8123/serviio/console">Serviio Console</a>' > /usr/local/www/ext/serviio/menu.inc

These last two commands need to be part of a startup script on the N4F host if you are running embedded.

Let me know.

I forgot to mention - streaming might not work, because ffmpeg from pkg_add doesn't have the support that serviio expect. Check out serviio.log, and there is a warning. Or, you can check serviio's website/wiki. There is a list of the compile options needed for ffmpeg there. To do that, you need to get the ports collection, and make your own ffmpeg.

Code: Select all

echo '<a href="http://{jail ip addr}:8123/serviio/console" target="_blank">Serviio Console</a>" > /usr/local/www/ext/serviio/menu.inc

As for me - True.
Or blank Nas4free page with <iframe> serviio

Create a /usr/local/etc/sbin/serviiod file, and fill it with:

This has to be /usr/local/sbin/serviiod

I got this error message:

Some mistake in the script


Guys, you made also a little mistake with the webinterface integration.
This:

Code: Select all

echo '<a href="http://{jail ip addr}:8123/serviio/console" target="_blank">Serviio Console</a>" > /usr/local/www/ext/serviio/menu.inc

Must be:

Code: Select all

echo '<a href="http://{jail ip addr}:8123/serviio/console" target="_blank">Serviio Console</a>' > /usr/local/www/ext/serviio/menu.inc

Just the " after the </a> has to be '.

Good catch. I did most of this in a VM without SSH, so I couldn't copy & paste. Thus, transcription errors.

Did it work for you?

No you see, that I got an error message.
There's some mistake in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/serviio or /usr/local/sbin/serviiod

That is an error with erroneous newlines in the serviiod file, likely.
These lines:

Code: Select all

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dderby.system.home=$SERVIIO_HOME/library -Dserviio.home=$SERVIIO_HOME -Dffmpeg.location=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"

JVM_OPTS="-Xmx${JAVA_MAX_HEAP} -Xms20M -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=10 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=20"

These should be only 2 lines of CODE!!! Try this:

Code: Select all

JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.awt.headless=true"
JAVA_OPTS = "{$JAVA_OPTS} -Dderby.system.home=$SERVIIO_HOME/library"
JAVA_OPTS = "{$JAVA_OPTS} -Dserviio.home=$SERVIIO_HOME"
JAVA_OPTS = "${JAVA_OPTS} -Dffmpeg.location=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg"

JVM_OPTS="-Xmx${JAVA_MAX_HEAP} -Xms20M -XX:+UseParNewGC"
JVM_OPTS = "{$JVM_OPTS} -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=10 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=20"

Better luck?

Sorry, my fault.
I copied the script via copy&paste to nano over ssh.
By copying nano made a \n between the command.
First script is working fine
Will test now the webinterface.

Holy sh**!
It's working with 1.0.1!

...but Flashplayer is not working

Code: Select all

200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip: '[Clip] 'http://192.168.22.11:23424/cds/resource/23/MEDIA_ITEM/FLV-0/MEDIUM,flv_player?authToken=52dccd3ba1e44221bfa0a4faa7353b0c''

Too bad you can't email me a beer.

I'm sorry, that I can't send you a beer via my WAN connection.
Enjoy this

What type of file were you attempting to open, with what encoding? And to what device were you attempting to send it? My guess its a transcoder issue - probably due to the odd ffmpeg version that FreeBSD pkg_add uses. You're not alone with this issue.

I tried to open it via opera/windows7 ...
Every movie files like .mkv and .avi etc.

BTW: transcoding on Panasonic E30 and Samsung tv is working fine

As I suspected, the two required libraries required by serviio, (libmp3lame and librtmp) are not included in our version.

This release includes FFmpeg compiled using this source code, libRTMP 2.4 compiled using this source code and Lame MP3 Encoder (v. 3.98) compiled using this source code.

pkg_add brings us 0.7.13, ports collection has the same. I am not sure which version serviio is using, as they seemed to have grabbed a snaphot of the git. Good luck.

Belay that. There is a newer version ffmpeg in the ports. Need to portsnap, then cd to ffmpeg1.

http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=build_ffmpeg_linux

Need:
AMR_NB
AMR_WB
FAAC
LAME
RTMP
THEORA
VORBIS
VPX
X264
XVID

Be prepared. The build will probably take a while, as ffmpeg depends on perl - which will also be built.
