Running server side on FreeBSD

[fafa]

Hi guys

sorry for the delay getting back to you.

Mrks: I have serviio server running in background but that is thanks to freenas user-friendliness, not because of my bsd knowledge:) see picture attached

Ursus: you ll find my serviio.sh below.
One comment though: I could not connect to the bsd server (192.168.1.5) from the xp client, although I also modified the client side to refer to the ip 192.168.1.205.
I am happy to have someone to correct my config if needed.

Oops. Rewind everything, I need some sleep:
- I could not run serviio server in background, even using the nice ui of freenas
- I can run serviio server from a putty windows and then connect from windows ui to the shell-launched serviio.sh

The windows client works properly * except * that I have to play with the path of the media: whatever the path I enter (/mnt/data/somefolderswithmedia) the gui always get troubled with the windows and unix syntax (which is fine I guess) but also more strangely with the root of the media directory: it always adds up the unix path of the serviio.sh:

[LibraryUpdatesCheckerThread] Looking for removed/updated files in repository: /mnt/sgt160/serviio-0.4.2/bin/\\192.168.1.205\shared\MediaLibrary\Music

the workaround consists in playing manually with the media path, see picture.

So 2 questions:
- why does the background mode resist/what are we missing?
- a potential minor bug to be explored on the gui side?

thx!

you should just be able to add a path using the "Add path.." button and entering a path local on the server side, e.g. /home/user/videos. Not sure how are paths resolved on the NAS though.

Thanks a lot! It's now running...
Connecting with my xp client doesn't work here either..

1- @ ursus

To be able to connect from the xp client you have to:
a- modify the ServiioConsole.exe.vmoptions on the xp side, so that it includes the ip of the server. Just add the line
-Dserviio.remoteHost=192.168.xxx.yyy
in the text file

b- make sure the serviio.sh on the server side has the same "-D option" in the JAVA opts:

# Setup Serviio specific properties
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dderby.system.home=$SERVIIO_HOME/library -Dserviio.home=$SERVIIO_HOME -Dffmpeg.location=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -Dserviio.remoteHost=192.168.xxx.yyy"

, notice the ip address in the two locations is the **same**, the one of the server.

That works for me.

a. you are right, adding the resource through the 'add path' works ok, this is the 'add local' that mixes up nt and bsd syntax. I ll stick to the first one I guess!

b. I have a substantial media library and so far it has been taking more than 10 hours to go through it. So far I can browse all the folders structure but cannot launch any video, the server is temporarily unavailable my bravia says. I ll further check bravia's users experience as I have seen there is plenty.

c. I wonder how serviio handles two media with the same name, located in different folders. typical example is img1.jpg in folder 20100101 and img1.jpg in folder 20090101

Is the second one going to be skipped because already found in the library?

thx !

thanks ! It now works! Thank you very much for your help..

btw: I got it to autostart in freenas.. I've added a command in System|Advanced|Command scripts .
type postinit
cd /mnt/SystemData/serviio/serviio-0.4.2/bin && ./serviio.sh

[fafa]

yep, i got that working too
btw what is the difference with ./mnt/SystemData/serviio/serviio-0.4.2/bin/serviio.sh ?

can you play movies/transcode ?

only pictures and audio work for me so far

a. you are right, adding the resource through the 'add path' works ok, this is the 'add local' that mixes up nt and bsd syntax. I ll stick to the first one I guess!

Add local is meant to add files 'local' to the console. For remote console there is the Add path option.

c. I wonder how serviio handles two media with the same name, located in different folders. typical example is img1.jpg in folder 20100101 and img1.jpg in folder 20090101

It's no problem, they'll both be added.

I have been able to run the Serviio server on Freenas by following the information above. Everything runs OK and I can browse and retrieve mpg videos from my upnp able media box. At the same time, I have also enabled Samba sharing on Freenas, so that my media box can also see the same mpg videos through the Samba share.

However I have a problem with listing of filenames with Chinese characters through Serviio (while there is no similar problem with the Samba share file listing). Note that the mpg videos can be played OK in both cases (just the Chinese characters in the filenames got scrambled on Serviio).

The files are created under WinXP/ntfs (and mounted directly without conversion on Freenas).

I have also run the Serviio server on my Windows PC (Chinese WinXP) with no problem of displaying the Chinese filenames on Serviio. But I rather like this Freenas+Serviio combination given its very small footprint that I can comfortably put everytime in a 1G CF card.

Grateful for any suggestions to enable proper display of filenames with Chinese characters through Serviio on Freenas.

Hi,

also run serviio (0.4.2) on freenas using the above instruction.
working very well with samsung B7000 TV.
But, also have probelms with non latin (hebrew) folder names and files.
The media files are under UFS drive in my freenas which I access my windows 7 machine through smb share.
running serviio server on the windows 7 machine and accesing the same files through the smb is working ok and I can see all the files and folder both in latin and non latin. but using the serviio server on the freenas accessing the same mount point will show the non latin folder names on the TV but without the name and you can't access the folder.
BTW, fuppes on the same freenas pointing the same mount point can handle the non latin files/folders well.

Any insight?

Thanks, Great Project.

Any suggestion?

[zip]

can you give an example of what a folder looks like on the file system and how it's presented on the TV?

Also check Serviio log (the beginning), it should say what character encoding is used on your OS.

thanks please see attached.

pictures of what is seen on the tv of both the main folder and the english folder.
I can't enter at the tv to the hebrew folder but on the english folder I can play the hebrew file although it's name is not shown.

tv_eng.JPG (74.4 KiB) Viewed 21873 times

[zip]

so if you log into the NAS, can you see the Hebrew characters of the folders properly? It might be the mounting is not configured right, as it works from the Windows box. You might also try adding

  Code:

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

to serviio.sh among the other -D parameters.

Hi thanks,

but setting to UTF-8 doesn't seem to help (verfifed at the serviio log that it was really changed to UTF-8).

logging into the NAS shows

  Code:

?????

on the hebrew file names....
nevertheless the fuppes server know how to threat them with the current configuration (but I perfer serviio for the rest of the reasons...).

Any other insight?

thanks.

[zip]

I was not able to reproduce it on my Windows box - the file names got the proper Hebrew names. So it must be the way Java sees the mounted folders on the NAS. Not really sure what to try next, as I cannot reproduce it ;-(

OK, thanks for now.

found the way!

just need to set the LANG to en_US.UTF-8. (I think that I already tried that before but maybe did somthing wrong anyway now it works...).
as I still don't know how to set this as global variable on freenas (it seems like it overwrites everyhting on boot...).
I just added this to the serviio.sh:

  Code:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG


so my serviio.sh file is now as follows:
