Step by Step: create a Serviio - FreeNAS server

There's a simple way to add a startup script to Freenas so that the Serviio service starts automatically after a reboot.

This works in Freenas 7.2 (not sure about Freenas 8).

Using the Freenas WebUI:

Click System > Advanced
Click on the "Command Scripts" tab
Click the "+" sign to add a new command script
Add this line: sh /home/serviio-0.6.1/bin/serviio.sh (or modify if you have serviio.sh located in a different directory)
Use the pulldown menu and set it to run "PostInit" (meaning after Freenas boots).

Now, anytime I restart my Freenas machine, Serviio gets started automatically.

[quote="westlake12"]Thanks to maltmoose and dboy on the workaround for the adding the required freebsd packages with the setenv PACKAGESITE. This worked well for me the second time around. I wanted to note for those of us blindly following instructions that you may need to edit the PACKAGESITE if you have an Intel based machine. Since I have an Intel P4, I had to use this to get it to work properly:

setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports ... le/Latest/

The first time, I used the AMD packages and I could still see pictures and stream music but none of the video worked (no files were visible on my TV). That's when I re-read the instructions and noted this mistake I made. After I redid the entire Serviio install with the proper packages, everything works fine now.

I wanted to post since this could be the problem for others having issues where only pictures and music are working and no video files are visible.

[quote="maltmoose"]Thought i'd post back as i had the same experience as dboy, however i found another solution other than manually downloading the packages as the original pkg_add way doesnt work on the latest amd64 version.

The below ftp allows you to use setenv before the pkg_add then it will download and install them for you as originally described.
I had a few warning on the version being newer but it all seemed to work ok

setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports ... le/Latest/

I was under the impression that the Intel vs AMD issue was more Intel is for 32 bit vs amd64 was for ANY 64 bit system.

Can anyone confirm ? Or does Serviio have the ability to use the 64 bit OS?

serviio is 64bit.

Hi,

I have changed the ip also on the text file.

When I run 'sh serviio.sh' in /usr/home/serviio-0.6.2/bin

I got this message :
Error occurred during initialization of VM

Any help is appreaciated.
Thanks.

Im getting the exact Same error on 0.7.5 9898
tried the steps from here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=6584 without any luck.

Still no issue? I have moved to minidlna, but would really really love to get back on Serviio.

WD TV Live hub always say that device on which the movies are rendered should support the format say mkv. I do not understand this. If it is a media player it should display all the formats whichever TV it is. Even a CRT.

hi I'm trying to install this on FreeNAS 0.7.2

everything seems to install ok with no errors. when i run serviio.sh it drops back to the command prompt after a few seconds and nothing seems to be running in the proccesses

the log files show a problem starting java.

i'm running it on an AMD Duron processor but i downloaded the Diablo I386 version of Java. is that right ? the only AMD version available seemed to be specifically for 64bit

below is the output of the log file

sorted this,

seems it wasn't loading all the .jar files needed
instead of specifying every single one in the SERVIIO_CLASS_PATH list i just specified the whole /lib/* folder

it now fires up ok

Any working solution as of today?

Google on Freenas and Nas4free for more details.
