Running server side on FreeBSD

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.

[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:

Thanks for the help, and hope that I also helped someone.

Cool. Well done.

[dboy]

Did you guys that got Serviio to run on FreeBSD/FreeNAS also got ffmpeg and transcoding to work fine?

What hardware are you running it on?
Can you get HD/1080 to transcode ok aswell?

[fafa]

Hey
I am using freebsd 8.1 rc with serviio to serve files to my sony tv. the server is a dual core @1.8g.

Playing of MKVs is not fully functional with my set up, but I guess this is a configuration issue.
Playing 1080 mt2s files is working fine (except that lots of cpu is being used for this whereas transcoding should not be needed with this video format)

hope this helps

[fafa]

Hey

Switched to the ffmpeg-devel build from 31.12.10 (freebsd 8.2 rc1)
Now almost all my MKVs play properly.
720 are fine, 1080 stutter on my e6300 with 1g of ram.

fafa

[dboy]

So, when building a NAS based on FreeBSD, what would be the required hardware to avoid stutter when transcoding 1080 stuff?
That's what I ask myself these days...

[Illico]

Now almost all my MKVs play properly. 720 are fine, 1080 stutter on my e6300 with 1g of ram.

The stutter is probably not due to your NAS, that could be network or dlna renderer (TV/Player) limitation.What is your sony model.

I'm almost done with a FreeBSD port of Serviio -- and I already have the rc.d script. You can download the port-to-be (I've not committed it to the FreeBSD ports collection yet) here and perform a "make install"...

There is a problem with it in that it needs to be run with a valid X11-server specified as DISPLAY, for some reason. The script will launch the serviio-process as user "dlna" -- so that user will need to be able to read your (the user running X-session) ~/.Xauthority file. Something like this will be necessary to start the daemon after installing via my port:

  Code:

su
setenv DISPLAY :0
setenv XAUTHORITY ~$USER/.Xauthority
chgrp dlna $XAUTHORITY
chmod 640 $XAUTHORITY
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/serviio.sh forcestart


After it starts, you should be able to run serviio-console as yourself (/usr/local/bin/serviio-console).

But -- before starting the daemon -- be sure to check the log4j settings in /usr/local/etc/serviio first, though. Let me know, how it works for you -- I still have some strange issues, that I'll be asking about here. The database -- and its log-file -- will be under /var/db/serviio.

[dboy]

Kot,

I'm almost done with a FreeBSD port of Serviio -- and I already have the rc.d script. You can download the port-to-be (I've not committed it to the FreeBSD ports collection yet) here and perform a "make install"...

The link is dead, gives a 404 error.

Argh... Should be working again now...

Is anyone here using an Intel Atom? Currently looking at running FreeNAS on a D525 (Dual Core 1.8GHz).
